Hey just wondering if someone could point me in the way or be willing to come and fix my PC for me, im willing to pay but dont agree with the $90 p/hour most mobile PC companies charge, i dont wanna format my Hard Drive coz i got alot of personal material on there. i cant backup coz it crashes after 10 mins and runs like an absolute pig. I can pay you in cash, alcohol or foodstamps.

Thanks

how about give us some details?

if its crashing after a short period, its most likely heat related

take the side of hte case off and point a pedestal fan in there and see if that helps

unplug everything, take everything appart and clean it

make sure all your fans are spinning

so many easy things you can do yourself . . . .

im not really fussed if its a professional job or someone who knows there stuff as long as its fixed i spose. The problems i see is it comes up with a warning saying windows has recovered from a serious error. i click ok then it comes up again and again and again until its says windows has to close in 1:00. i have 2 viruses on it from other morons using my PC aswell. Thanks for the help so far

i know a enough to get me by and tried alot of different things but same result. Yeah i gove virus scanner but as i said some moron was using my PC and semi farked it not knowing what they were doing. it was working ok but downloading adobe for flight details it clapped out. thanks for the help peoples, ill use the recomended thanks

I can do it for you but im in SE brisbane underwood, all good software at your disposal helps, I say software problem, Either being viruses or spyware/Adware, First step is usually go into safe mode, Goto run and then type"msconfig" then goto startup tab and untick the items that you dont know about, usually able to distinguish whats what it doesnt take a genius, then move to the services tab down the bottom click hide all microsoft services and then usually untick the services that are present in there that are unknown to you. Then click applie and ok.

Restart then go back into normal operation, If you know torrents get adaware professional from torrentspy.com, install that then get the latest updates for the defs file, After installed run ad-watch then run adaware and do full system scan, clean the hell computer up a tad, Best done with disabled network. once that is done you may be right. Then again most people still have the "System Restore" Function still enabled so you could always restore back to a previous date. Bloody n00bs on computers i tell ya. Also easiest way to avoid these things is dont look at those "Naughty" sites and crack sites and serialz sites then you would be fine. Plus theres other tools like reghack that can help as well and alot of other tools, just check www.9down.com, it will be your friend for life with torrentspy, isohunt, and vcdquality and all sorts.

Oooops forgot one crucial point here, clear your cache your cookies your history, then gointo documents and settings your profile local settings and the temp folder delete everything out of that bloody temp folder thats where most problems lie

Hope that helps

lol i guess i can come and help you when im at uni one day.. for starters, your being hit by an RPC exploit (the windows shutting down thing).. which means you arent running SP2..

add me to msn and ill see if i can pop round sometime soon.

gervase AT allegro[REMOVETHIS] DOT com DOT au (paranoid about getting on spam list :))

or goto control panel administrative tools, then goto services sort by name locate RPC "Remote Procedure call" and one at a time for the locator first screen select manual in start up type, then in recovery tab select for all the failure tabs take no action, and for the RPC (blank) leave start up type alone goto recovery tab and same thing for the failures and apply and ok, then goto http://www.autopatcher.com/downloads/ then download your relevant updates, Thankyou :D

Thanks for all the help peoples, good feedback and recomended shops to fix my problem have helped heaps. i might have a fark around with my PC today with the new info i got and go from there. and no more german shizzer porn for me. haha

Thanks again

Adam

You can do the suggestions above and it MAY fix it, but I worked in IT for years fixing the darn things and they are never 100%.

My professional opinion is to organise all you personal files, photos, etc and back them up to DVD or another hard drive.

Then format the hard drive with a Windows re-install.

Sure you have to load up all the software again and it takes time, but most of the software may be outdated or irrelevant now, but you'll be better off for it.

It's cheaper than paying for a tech at $70+ p/hr too.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
