XP is being gay on my old computer. It will start up, and go to the desktop. As soon as I click a program to open it, or just a folder, it freezes. Everything freezes, won't even open task manager. Tried system restore, freezes during that, but everything works in safe mode. Im on it now, but in safe mode.

Re: XP locks up once started
Did you change, update or install something in last week? If so, try uninstalling it.
Next move is disabling most programs loaded at boot and check for malware too: post the log generated by Hijackthis and try to clean it ith Spybot S&D.

Re: XP locks up once started
I got it fixed, finally got it to do a system restore. I think it didn't like the AMD power watch thing.
Also ran a full maleware scan with malwarebytes fully updates as soon as I got it running (nothing), already have malwarebytes startup lite too, only have my sound card software and nvidia thing enable on startup.Comment

Re: XP locks up once started
Luckily you restored a previous restore point: loaded programs are not only the one with a tray bar icon, drivers and services are loaded too on normal boot and not loaded on safe mode.
The culprit is AMD Power Monitor? Try RMClock instead: it's a more complete monitor and can change settings on some cpus (vcore and energy saving C-States on most, multiplier on mobile and recent desktop cpus). Since a too low voltage or a bad setting can freeze the machine, I suggest do not loading RMClock at boot unless you double checked all settings under load with Prime95.

by iMuhtasebA2338 - Pristine condition.. I took out of the board and inspected it.. nothing.. as if the computer is barely used even.
Anyway, customer said they tried erasing/formatting it and it got stuck on Apple logo preventing to go further.. I asked them why they tried to erase it from the first place? They said it turned off randomly once.. then they erased it and it worked out for a few days then it shut off again..
I put the computer in DFU; I downloaded the latest Ventura IPSW and restored it.. during the "Installing.." it restarts then it shows the exclamation...09-11-2023, 08:43 AM -
by yheriatovychHi. I need some help troubleshooting the issue (which is a bit odd to my limited experience) with the A2338 Macbook.
Initial symptoms:
One day the laptop refused to wake up (as it seemed at first), spinning the fan on full blast, with no picture on the screen.
Force rebooting didn't help. To check if it boots at all I connected the external display and surprisingly it booted to the system, and I was able to log in to the system.
However, I noticed that it was in some weird state:- The fan was still blasting at full speed. It's blasting even when the system

by harpis it possible restore data from the hdd with removed rom ic so, is there any way, theory or practice, to restore or calculate missing data in flashrom ic from actual data stored on disk platers? In other words, is data on disc somehow reachable, recover without original rom firmware, using exactly donor board, special lab hardware, etc?
