So recently strange things started to happen on my PC. Internet connectivity issues, freezing and lagging, etc...
I though it was a virus so I spent hours trying to clean it up. I still get some random things going wrong (HDMI handshaking where video no sound after monitor off, freezing, and sluggishness).
I was thinking about just saying screw it and reformatting hard drives and re-installing windows 7 when I remembered right after the first time I installed (well second tried to install comodo and completely crashed my fresh installl system) I made a backup Image.
So..what exactly is a system image. Should I use this to try to fix problems and if so how, or just do fresh install.
I really do not care about losing data or saved games or anything like that. I was thinking about getting another hdd anyway and maybe Raid 0, but right Now I just want my PC back to normal whether its a virus issue or drivers or bad programs I do not know, hoping to figure out by process of elimination.
Thanks for the help and I am clearly not a programmer so please dumb down the jargin for me-Thanks!
