Computer won't shutdown / USB port problems.

Hey guys, Really appreciate help i ran steps to clear malware. (XP, Sp3, intel core due 2) 3.25gb of ram.

For awhile now the PC just won't shutdown properly & i have to manually hold it in to shut it down, then when it starts up i have to press ctrl alt del to get to task manager or for some weird reason the taskbar freezes!

Also for some weird reason only 2 of my USB ports work...the others recognise something's been attatched but never install the drivers etc. So if i move the mbox usb port to anything but the top left USB port it won't work? Weird as...

Really appreciate any help

 

Are you sure you are clear of Malware, did one of the team say you were clear?

All i can think of is run CCleaner, both the cleaner and the registry cleaner, when it asks, "do you want to make a backup" say yes, just in case.

And can you post your system specs?

 

No one said i was clear...How do i post my specs up?

 

Then i would get all the malware problems sorted before you post your other problems.

To post your specs, just specify your PC comonponets.

Custom built;

Processor
Motherboard
RAM
Power supply wattage and brand

Pre-built;

Brand and model number.


To get system specs;

Download and run speccy this will tell you all i need to know, except the PSU, but thats not so important with your problem.

Good, just letting you know.

You have a fairly high-end system with plenty of ram, so it must be a malware or software related issue.

Please keep going on the malware removal forum until you are told you are malware free, then post in the software forum.
