I have recently upgraded my HP Pavilion computer by putting in some more RAM and an Nvidia Geforce GT630 2GB in the PCI-E 16x slot. The RAM was no problem and works fine.

However, when I try to boot with the gfx card in situ I get the POST and then black screen whilst windows boots (I can hear the entry music on boot). I have tried the following:

1. Disabled and uninstalled integrated graphics

2. Upgraded PSU to 500W

3. Tried a 650W PSU just in case

I can't install the Nvidia drivers as I can't see to install them and it won't let me when the card is not plugged in.

I have looked in BIOS and whilst theres no way to switch to PCI-E as default, there is a line that reads "Integrated Graphics DISABLE" when the card is in situ so I'm guessing it is turned off automatically.

Specs: HP Pavilion p6-2000ukm
Foxconn H-CUPERTINO2-H61-uA TX motherboard
8GB DDR3 1330 MHz RAM
500W PSU (Don't have exact model number to hand)

I did have a problem, roughly a year ago, where a friend of mine unknowingly downloaded the Windows Defender virus. I got rid of it right away but my laptop has been a bit sluggish since then. I'm not sure if the virus and the sluggishness are related but it might be noteworthy here. Otherwise, I've had no problems. I use my laptop mostly for email and forum following.

I run windows 8 64 with the windows security software. It appears that at some point this has been turned off and it will not tun back on. I can also not run system restore.

Following advice on another forum I ran RKILL and TDSSKILLER which found three suspicious files which I deleted.

Following a reboot I am now no longer able t access the internet on that laptop.

I have followed your Malware removal guide which found no threats as far as I can tell. I have attached the five logs.

Since I have no connection I ran the early warning Hitman function.

I appreciate any help given!

Thanks in advance.
