I badly need help with my PC

[RaijinSpark]

ok so uh, this is what happened.

We had a new internet connection, we switched because the internet connection we have before is laggy.. after they set up the internet connection (take note it's a wireless connection.. wi-fi) it works, the internet is very fast and not laggy.. everything is fine until my PC over heated (meh, this is another issue lol) I left turned off for awhile then after some couple of hours I turned it on again.. it says the I'm connected

dlink
Internet access

Wireless Network Connection
dlink conected [][][][][] (signal bars)

I logged in in YM and it works fine, still no lag..

But when I opened web browser, and tried to use the internet, it's not working..

tried..
www.yahoo.com
www.youtube.com
www.google.com
www.hiveworkshop.com
www.facebook.com
etc.. not of them work it says..

Server not found..

Firefox can't find the servers at www.google.com

bla bla bla..

I check if I'm still connected to the internet, and yes I am.. I'm still logged in in YM

Tried all the other browsers I have (Googel Chrome and Internet Explorer) same problem, it has internet I can log in in Yahoo Messenger but my browsers can't load any web page.

TRIED ALL THIS SOLUTIONS:
1. Starts -> Run -> clear -> resetlog.txt
2. Check if my FF is in offline mode.
3. made my TCP/IP to automatically acquire IP address
4. Completely turned off my firewall and anti-virus
5. ran CCleaner
6. Restarted my PC

Any help would be appreciated.. if have questions feel free to ask me..

Can you provide the result of ping www.google.com

Steps on how to ping:

Windows

Start > Run > cmd

Write in "ping www.google.com" without quotes and screenshot or write the output here.

Linux

Open Terminal, Write in "ping www.google.com" without quotes and screenshot or write the output here.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Not sure with what I just did..

Start

Run

cmd

*A black window appears*
typed www.google.com

"C:\users\*****\>www.google.com
'www.google.com' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

 

[Xarwin]

Is any other tool working for you?
Such as an online game (NOT messenger, it uses the same protocol of IE to connect).

You could try using out a cable (if this works, your wireless card is broken), you could also try resetting your router but I doubt there is a problem caused by it.

Also please note this: you told us your pc was overheat, which might burned something down inside.

 

[RaijinSpark]

as for Online Game, never tried.. will soon.. since I can't download OL games I'll have to copy from a diff PC..

Tried using a cable, same problem..I reset my router, same problem..

The over heating occured before but wireless connection works fine, but dunno, possible.. but if something burnt inside why can I still go online in YM/MSN

 

[Ironside]

Not sure with what I just did..

Start

Run

cmd

*A black window appears*
typed www.google.com

"C:\users\*****\>www.google.com
'www.google.com' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

in the black box you need to type ping www.google.com not just www.google.com

 

[RaijinSpark]

Here it is..

 

[Ironside]

Hmm that's strange, you have access to them but can't open them.
I don't have any guaranteed ideas currently, but would it be possible you were infected by any virus lately?

It could be the hosts file, can you post the content of this file:

%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

When it asks you what program to open the file with, select notepad or any other text editing program.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Virus? uh not sure.. :/ so if I my PC was affected by a virus does it give me any message or something?.. and if my PC is infected with it, is reformatting the only way?

Here it is..

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# space.

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

 

[Ironside]

Not necessarily detected, the host file is ok too.
My only idea left for now is to see if it will work with using a proxy.

You will find many proxy on this site: http://proxy.org/

Choose one on the right of the site and see if you can enter a site with it.

 

[Urwaldbewohner]

I'm not quit sure if why this happend but you may try to reset you pc to when everything worked.
This should solve anny virus caused problems.

 

[Ironside]

You can do what Urwaldbewohner said by System Restore, please do note that you will lose all newly installed programs after the Restore Point.

 

[Xarwin]

Try a go in safe mode with network abilities.

 

[Vercas]

How about setting up a proxy for the browser?

He still needs to see if the proxy sites I provided work.

 

[Vercas]

He still needs to see if the proxy sites I provided work.

I've never actually done that, but I have read about a similar problem two days ago.

 

[RaijinSpark]

about the http://proxy.org/

Didn't work.. tried picking 2 proxies and..

"This webpage is not available" for chrome
"Firefox cant' find the server at www.ninja-pink.info" for Mozilla Firefox

 

[Xarwin]

So what about safe mode with network possibilities ?

 

[RaijinSpark]

There's also something I forgot to tell you guys..

When I play WarCraft III TFT and click "Local Area Network"

It says "Couldn't connect to network"

Do you have Steam?

 

[Dr Super Good]

I think your network drivers are broken. Or your network card is.

You can ping google yet you can not connect to google?
Lan in WC3 fails?
Using ethanet also fails?

Try checking with the computer manufactuer for updated network drivers (from another PC) and then transfering them to the laptop via a USB stick and updating.

Also try using Internet Explorer as that is built into the OS.

This is the most plausible answer.

I think I agree with this, try to do what he says and tell back if it works afterwards.

 

[RedClaw]

i have same problem only with Ym i can't see my friends what he tipes and what i tipe and i get strange Internet Explorer pop-ups while i play my games! and i can't run warcraft lan or battlenet same with wow and guild wars

In your case it might be a virus.

 

[RedClaw]

i made avire scans but nothing only a warning :-\

 

[Vercas]

Do an online scan.

You need to know that a virus can be undetected too, your antivirus can't pick up just every virus.
If you want to make a real check, PM me as it's against the rules to talk about it here.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Do you have Steam?

Nope, don't have..

so how do I fix this? how can I get driver without going to the manufacturer of this PC..since it's from another country..

@EternalWow2010

Seriously, it's very easy to create your own thread..

 

[Dr Super Good]

The internet is global... You go to their website from the country you are in and download the lattest driver for that model.

 

[RaijinSpark]

~_~ Like I said, My browsers can't load any web pages (including IE)

 

[Dr Super Good]

Then how are you posting that message?

Don't tell me that THW loads... If so then that makes your problem even more insanly complicated.

 

[RedClaw]

i have a simple solucion..... REformatate pc...... or how its called in your language.the procese whene you delet the current windows and insatl another one.

Leave that as a final solution, not to mention that people have to buy Windows OS (if they do it legally).

 

[Vercas]

Nope, don't have..

@EternalWow2010

Seriously, it's very easy to create your own thread..

If you have Windows Vista or Windows Seven, you may ask for a driver update.
Open Control Panel and select the Device Manager item.
Here you will see lots of nodes. Expand the Network adapters node and double click the adapter that you are using. It is generally the first, but you might try the following for all of them! (EXCEPT VIRTUAL ADAPTERS)
On the Properties window that just showed up, go to the Driver tab and click the Update Driver.... Now follow the Wizard and your driver will be updated.

EDIT: If you see an exclamation mark on your adapter's icon then your network adapter has problems.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Vercas,

Network Adapters
-Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter
-Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter #2
-Raeltek PCIe FE Family Controller

I updated the first and last, same problem.. still can't load any web pages.
And no, I don't see any exclamation mark on adapter's icon and it says "This device is working properly"

 

[Ironside]

I have another idea that could work for you, it's the same way by me with 2 other adapters.

Try to have turned on only 1 of the two of them, it might work afterwards.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Turned off one, tried.. didn't work, I turned it on and turn off the other, still didnt work..

I turned off both and the icon for network became differnet, I close my wi-fi and use the cable still it didn't work..

btw look at this...

[Ironside]

I've heard of it before, but thought it wasn't spreading anymore.

In that case try to follow those instructions they are valid information on how to remove nested viruses (checked them).

 

[RedClaw]

try online scan for me worked i gound 35 trojans on my i was wtf..

 

[RaijinSpark]

Barathrum, too complicated, and one of the tool required doesn't work on my PC (window 7 32-bit) I dunno it speaks about win vista/7 but I tried to follow the tutorial but things are going different in my PC.

EternalWow2010, hmm?

 

[Ironside]

try online scan for me worked i gound 35 trojans on my i was wtf..

Online antivirus scans don't check the whole PC, just a specific file.

(best two are novirusthanks.com & virustotal.com)

Barathrum, too complicated, and one of the tool required doesn't work on my PC (window 7 32-bit) I dunno it speaks about win vista/7 but I tried to follow the tutorial but things are going different in my PC.

Try running with Campability mode.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Tried didn't work.. :[

1 question about PC reformatting, if they reformat my PC, does the files when I bought my PC be returned? uh dunno if you get me but something like that.. if yes I think I'll try backing up all my files and do a reformat probably next week..

But since it won't be reformat yet, please help me find solutions. really need my PC fix.

*sleepy*

 

[Ironside]

I suggest you format yourself, that way you can do exactly what you want and whichever OS you wish. Since that will go outside the hive rules, PM me if interested.

 

[RedClaw]

the reformatation is for C[Recomanded] but you can reforamate D and whene you insal windows again you must reformatate the director that you have not selected to reformatate.Life if you formatate D must reformatate C manual.

 

[Ironside]

I suggest rather that he format the whole HD and store his data on a USB or external drive.

 

[Vercas]

Let's keep this as the last resort.

You might want to reinstall your Windows without formatting the drive.
It will move the old Windows in a folder called Windows.old so you can get back all your settings!

 

[RaijinSpark]

Vercas, I see, please tell me how do I reinstall my old windows. and will I replace the current ones once it was save in "Windows.old"?

 

[Vercas]

Vercas, I see, please tell me how do I reinstall my old windows. and will I replace the current ones once it was save in "Windows.old"?

Well, when you insert the Windows Vista or Windows 7 DVD into your computer running Windows, you might install it right away and the current Windows will be placed in Windows.old.

 

[RaijinSpark]

I see, so it involves "Window 7 DVD" well I lost it.. not sure maybe it's here lying somewhere in my room

*still looking for more solution*

It's really weird how come I can log in in my YM but not use my web browser to surf the net? maybe my web browser are infected by a virus?
