    Hello everyone..I'm facing really nasty problem here with my dv5t hp notebook. Hope you guys can help. So here's my problem. I have 1yr old Dv5T running on Win7 64-bit OS. It has 4GB RAM, 250GB hitachi HDD, Nvidia 512mb VGA, Core2Duo 2.53Ghz CPU. Recently it stopped working as it should.

    While ago, I downloaded some torrent where it had viruses(however I cleaned them) and after that everything started If I remember everything as it is.

    While watching youtube, it stopped running..no mouse movements, screen was still on the last frame, no control+alt+del or anything else..I had to force shutdown the notebook.

    Then I started it again where I didn't show anything on the screen at all..No POST or rest - only black screen. After couple of tries later, I could open it again. I tried to run antivirus software and it suddenly stopped working again. Again couple of tries to run it... Weren't able to do something with that anymore.. I tried to check HDD using HDD enclosure on different PC. It passed bad sector test(found1, repaired1), I ran a virus test on it(found5,cleared,disinfected5), I tried manual chkdsk command and it passed it too... I defragmented it, and put it back.

    But I faced the problem again...Since last time on notebook i scheduled a chkdsk, it doesn't let me open the PC anymore..Everytime it starts chkdsk and stops on the last procedure - everytime on different percentage.

    I ran self-test on notebook.: RAM test passed, HDD quick test - stopped on this one again. I ran CPU stress test - after some iterations black screen was coming and again I had to force shutdown.

    What else should I check? What do you think about my problem?
    Motherboard? CPU? Something else?? :S Thanks for your help beforehand!

    Sounds like you got a pretty nasty trojan...i would recommend reinstalling windows since those can be very very hard (if not impossible) to remove.

    No, I don't think its a virus. Because, first of all, I ran Kaspersky on it and cleaned every potential problem it found. Secondly, I'm worried if it stops again while Im installing a fresh copy of windows?

    I ran defragmenter again and cleaned some amount of data from the HDD...put it back..it still works....hope it doesn't stuck again :S



    ^^^editing....It did the same thing again! :((( Heelp is much more appreciated!
