Okay, its just that I’m freaking out. I’m sorry for the spam and everything but I’d hate to lose this computer for some reason or another. I don’t think I do, but I tend to freak out when it comes to internet security…
There is something you can do whilst awaiting help here. You can (I suggest) begin to back up your files you consider important; this will give you something constructive to do in the meantime. This should help ease your mind a little.
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.
The sound occurs in about increments of 30 to 45 seconds, and happens after login. It doesn’t occur anytime after, which is the weird part. It just started after I reinstalled avast! to get my webshield to work, which still doesn’t. It might be a driver error, since I got a BSOD shortly after that.
I would also like to mention during the fix, it said “Windows has a critical error and needs to restart in one minute”. But it didn’t interrupt the fix whatsoever, so I think it was the fix itself that said that.
Yes the logs look clear… To check the drivers out you can run a clean boot sequence
Step 1:
Start the System Configuration Utility
Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then click OK.
The System Configuration Utility dialog box is displayed.
Step 2:
Configure selective startup options
In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click the General tab, and then click Selective Startup.
Click to clear the Load Startup Items check box. Verify that Load System Services and Use Original BOOT.INI are checked.
Click the Services tab.
Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
Click Disable All, and then click OK.
When you are prompted, click Restart to restart the computer.
Step 3: Log on to Windows
Now we get to the tedious part,:
If windows behaves itself then do the following
Restart MSConfig and select half of the disabled services and reboot
Is the problem still present ?
If Yes then deselect half of the services that you resumed and reboot
If no then select half of the remaining services and reboot
The intention here is to isolate the one service/driver that is causing the problem
I’m not the best with this stuff, what’s the System Configuration Utility? How do I get to it etc. I;m running Windows 7 if that helps at all.
Actually, I don’t feel safe disabling those programs. Even though I’m malware free just don’t feel safe. Sorry for your time. Thing is, never seen anyone else get this sound error after login.
I’m good with the sound, its just an annoying bug I guess ^.^. Other than that, system is fine. I’m okay with dealing with this, it’ll just be a little while before I build my own gaming computer. Thanks for the help.
