Yep. This is not the first time it's happened. It's now the second time.

The first computer was alright, it had Avast!, I didn't download anything malicious, or what could have been unsafe... But after a month or two of using it, I turn it on, and then it loads up like normal, and then crashes the second it gets to the login screen. Great.

The second is the same, but it lasted for three to four months before once again catching the same thing the first computer had.

And now I'm stuck using another person's computer to type this up. Seriously, WTF is going on....
What have technicians told you about your problem? Did you check the monitors up before changing?

By the way, this belongs to the Rant zone.
We're getting a technician in hopefully this week to check it out... but there's no way I'm gonna be stuck forever using a computer I don't own. Noooo way...

(My friend likes to watch what I'm typing so I'm having to type this quick)
Forget it, I just found out this Advent computer has it's own System Restore setting. And I'm currently on the computer now...
Don't use Internet Explorer. It's the equivilant of blood in something yellow and dangerous.
Mozilla Firefox FTW.
Thats nothing. My very good comp that has most of my porn/hentai as well as Star/War/WoWcraft game data and lots of other stuff got it's HD fried then we got another comp that we put together ourselves and now it's having problems staying on for long periods of time because (imo this is the cause) it overheats and shuts down to prevent damage, ok so we took it to Virginia to my Mom's boyfriend John who used to work for Microsoft and is now the equivilent of the geek squad and had him and his, son, and nephew look at it (very smart family to say the least) and not once, ONCE did it shut down there and Chris (his nephew) was doing CPU tests that were even higher def then WoW that were designed to overheat the comp and it didn't do anything and as soon as it got home...thats right same problem.
I'm probably not a great tech as they are, but, perhaps, it is the temperature where the computer is. If you already thought of this then forgive me.
It's normal temperature here.... Anyway, all I know is that it has something to do with REGISTRY-ERROR.

I'm unsure if you address me but I'll take it as such. Yes I thought about it and even though the few times Ghost Monitor was up when it turned off I noticed it was past it's temp threshold but when we took it into the real Geek Squad and got it back today they said it was a software issue but I'm confused still how software is causing all this.
