Page 1 of help please keep crashing!!!

hi can anybody help please have taken my pc to a shop to fix this fault which they said they did but guess what it`s started doing it again!!!aargh!! runing windows xp and it keeps rebooting on the event log it says cat 102 event 1003 under system! any advice please cos i`m slowly running out of hair!!! thanx

Sounds like you`ve got the msblast virus (or variant). If that`s the case, all the PC shop did was run a virus scan and clean it.

If you don`t have a firewall or virus software you`ll get it back within minutes of connecting to the internet.

You can download a removal tool here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html

And you`ll also need to run Windows update to get the latest security fixes to prevent reinfection.

dont think its that mate as i have the latest norton software and a firewall on my network conector! thanx anyway

Most of my friends on XP, most have pc`s like fort knox... but they still got it.
Did you get the patch from microsoft site?

Did a search on google... someone with the exact same error, but no answers.

i have the patch and run the virus scan and there is nothing! thanx anyway

Well a qucik search of microsofts web site for cat 102 event whatsit reveals an error relating to raid systems. You don`t have a raid system on your motherboard do you ? Seems unlikely but all that turns up

thanx for looking dont think i`ve got raid have an asus p4s8x-x mb gona updated the drivers for this and see if that helps!!
