i got a bit bored and started to play around with ntune.
had i known what an utter piece of **** it is, i would never touched it.
basically, i ran the 20 minute coarse tuning, which resulted in several crashes (which it stated were normal) before finishing.
ever since then, my computer has frozen - ie. my mouse cursor doesn't move, everything is "frozen", or i get the blue screen of death saying something scary (which isn't very useful i know)
at one stage whilst i was booting up i had a black screen saying something about a system disk error, then i got really scared.
so basically what's happened is that i have tried to delete the offending ntune profile with its settings after the "tuning"
tried to uninstall ntune - which results in crashing/bsod
do nothing - crashes
reboot the cmos - (take out the little blue pin. put it in the other pins etc.)
get into the bios and set everything as default
and my computer still freezes.
i've tried everything to get my computer back to how it used to be and it aint working.
i really hope this has nothing to do with my hardware
i could really use some help on this one - much appreciated.
hmm... is there any kind of backup function to reset everything as in what comes with ati cards? Hold a key during reboot and it will reset video card or chipset settings?
I doubt this, but you may have inadvertantly fried something on the mobo, I only say this because of the "disk error" and bsod's are more often than not associated with memory of some type.
I took a quick peek and didn't see anything that stuck out as to troubleshooting your problem, I would read it top to bottom though.
I have a similar program called easy tune, and if you set it at defaults too high, it will auto lock up as soon as the program starts. (but i don't have it set up to run on startup) If you've got a quick second when booting, go to run then type "msconfig" and remove ntune and all of it's other components from your startup.ini tab, then reboot and try to remove it.
I'll post again if something else comes across my mind. but i'm not farmilliar with ntune.
good luck
PS: i don't know if that command will work in windows Shista.
