Help me with my PC

AleksiDj52 · Aug 3, 2018

Hello everyone help me before i lose my sanity. Well my PC died from April because of HDD problems and yesterday i bought and SSD (860 EVO 500gb) but before i bought it everytime i opened my PC with the HDD it showed me this (video down below) i dont think anyone has seen this before idk how it happened. The same issue happens with the SSD (which i bought yesterday) i installed Windows 10. I've tried everything removing the battery (CMOS battery) i have clicked in the BIOS "Load optimized settings", reseting settings in the BIOS, reinstalled windows multiple times i can get in safe mode i tried sfc /scannow, scanning registry, chkdsk C: and nothing happens. Sometimes when i open my PC sometimes it shows me this chinese letters sometimes it doesn't. When these chinese letters not show up when booting it loads windows most of the times but it shows me "Preparing Automatic Repair" and when its not showing Automatic Repair and loads windows it just stucks. I mean when it shows the windows logo and the loading at the bottom for me it stucks and if i force close my PC it will show the chinese letters again. Sometimes it loads properly i mean loading windows and getting successfully into logging screen. After i use the PC a bit (about 5 min or less) it frozes and shows me blue screen of "DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION". I hope ypu understand what i mean. My only guess it something is happening with the motherboard not sure.

Specs:
Motherboard: GA-P55M-UD2
CPU:I5 750 2.8ghz
SSD:860 EVO 500gb
GPU:Geforce GT 9800
RAM:12gb

This looks like a MBR (master boot record) infection with some kind of virus, or even cryptolocker. By adding an SSD, you probably got the SSD's MBR infected as well.

Try using this software, does it detect any viruses in MBR?

Ok should i scan my PC with this application in safe mode or not?

herrwizo · Aug 3, 2018

Best to do in safe mode, yes. If this is for some reason not possible, run it normally, just make sure you run it as administrator.

herrwizo :

I ran it as administrator (safe mode) and it says "Failed to install the remover driver (Error code 0xC007043C)." it needs to install the remover driver which in safe mode can't install drivers or softwares ill try to boot without safe mode

herrwizo :

I tried booting it up and i got too logging screen but i tried to put my password and as i was writing it my PC froze and i had to force close it. So ill try scan it in safe mode but how do it install the remover driver in order to make the scan work?

herrwizo :

nvm i scanned it without going to safe mode and no infections were found.

herrwizo · Aug 3, 2018

Strange indeed, everything indicates that something is infected in MBR.

What happens if you, say, boot from bootable USB stick or live CD with linux? Do you get chinese letters then?

And most importantly, since the video is of really bad quality, are those REALLY chinese letters, or simply graphical glitches and corruption?

herrwizo :

what do you mean? boot windows from a usb stick?

herrwizo · Aug 3, 2018

The more I look at this video, the more it seems like a classic graphical corruption of some kind. Can you test with a different graphics card?

herrwizo · Aug 3, 2018

AleksiDj52 :

Boot anything from USB stick, like windows recovery, linux OS, win PE, basically anything bootable that can show graphical interface. But please, try with a different GPU first like stated above, after careful watching it indeed does seem like glitching, not Chinese letters.

herrwizo :

Got it i have tried booting with usb stick inside the usb i have Windows installation and it shows the Chinese letters when booting. Look its like a 50/50 if it will show this chinese letters or not. Ill try to take a photo of this chinese. Unfortunately i dont have a spare gpu

herrwizo · Aug 3, 2018

Then it is not related to boot media and BIOS. Whatever you boot from, it will show, and it will show randomly.

Most likely cause: failing memory on GPU.

herrwizo :

Maybe you are right because i tried to play Euro Truck Simulator 2 yesterday and as it was loading the game PC froze and it also happened with Minecraft i wanted to check a map from a youtuber and it froze exactly like ETS2 and then displayed blue screen Watchdog violation. Is there any way i can check the GPU that is failing?

herrwizo · Aug 3, 2018

The only thing you can do is test it in a different rig. But is is evident that it is failing. Very old GPU as well, so... time probably did its thing.

AleksiDj52 · Aug 3, 2018

herrwizo :

If i had a 2nd i would try it but whatever ill see what i can. Also can you recommend me GPU 4gb vram? i think my PC supports 1080 ti? i was thinking 1050 ti would be great

herrwizo · Aug 3, 2018

You should be able to use any GPU you want, but your rig is older and would become unbalanced (CPU/GPU strength) with anything higher than 1050Ti. Which is, btw, more than 4x faster than 9800GTX, and uses only half the power.

AleksiDj52 · Aug 3, 2018

Yea you are right ill see what i can do look i took these pictures when PC was booting up thats a better quality http://imgur.com/gallery/ftPlnBK as you said earlier it might me graphical corruption but im not sure. Also i went too cmd when i was at the automatic repair i mean the option that say "Continue to Windows 10", "Troubleshooter" and "Exit" i went to cmd and typed "bootrec /fixmbr" that worked then i typed the next command "bootrec /fixboot" and it said "Access is Denied" why did this happen?
