Samuel You have also by now installed a reputable anti-virus programme, of course. And hopefully the cost of an IT Pro sorting the issue for £40 seems remarkably good value!
I feel that Ted is trying to do something which is extremely difficult and confusing for a novice, but an every day occurence for an IT Techie. We all have different skillsets in life - and there are many times when we have to bite the bullet and pay for those skillsets we do not have ourselves. This need not cost too much. For a simple format & reinstall of a faulty laptop, assuming no inherent hardware problems and with no data recovery required, is something we'd charge around £60 to do. If hardware faults were found, meaning we couldn't carry out the work, we wouldn't charge anything. I'd suggest that Ted should ask a local Techie for a quote and he may find the price is remarkably worthwhile for the pure peace of mind and speed of response.
RE: blank monitor when switch on processor
Trevor - the answer is "probably". Get hold of a new PCI graphics card and install that to see if it works. It should do, from the sound of the problem.
We offer fast, friendly and efficient computer repairs, maintenance and support within Lancashire.
We support home and business users, with same day call-outs generally available.

- reduced hourly rate for contracted hours
- no call out fee for non-contracted hours
