please help! hardware or virus?

[spideyboy_1111]

So my computer has been acting a little randomly screwy ever since I moved home 5 months ago. It's been slow (especially with web browsing) and the fan has been louder than I remember.

At random times, the screen starts to flicker (I do know the monitor isn't the problem) which then leads to a solid black, or blue screen, or the screen that says "begin physical memory dump". None of my virus software says I have a virus... so I'm not sure what it is. Due to the way my fan sounds, I assume that maybe it's that?

Please help! The computer is only a year or 2 old...

I also had "runDLL" messages begin to pop up for a couple months before I moved. They occur on start up and say...

There was a problem starting
C:\users\name\AppData\Local\azixejiguluka.dll
"Is not a valid win32 application"

The rest say the same but have paths of \Local\KBDMFMDV.dll and \Local\Temp\DWWIated.dll

Those errors make me think virus...

Do you know where these files come from : azixejiguluka.dll, KBDMFMDV.dll and DWWIated.dll ? Did you installed a new app recently ?

If your fan(s) makes too much noise maybe it is time for some cleaning too.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

No I dont know.

I did some light dusting. Got a can of air to dust off the rest tomorrow. It ran a teenie bit better once I did that. I also have a small fan that I unhooked. It was attached to something that sorta looked like a filter, and when I unhooked it there was some weird silver like paste on the back side that attached to the computer... should there be a gooey paste??? That doesn't seem right... hoping nothing was melting......

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

About the small fan you removed, make sure it wasn't the CPU fan !
Usually the CPU fan is attached to a radiator, the silver paste you saw is maybe the thermal paste ( it help with heat conductivity between the CPU and the radiator/fan ).

About the files azixejiguluka.dll, KBDMFMDV.dll and DWWIated.dll, run a search on them in system to see where they come from and to which programm or whatever they belong.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i hit search, and they don't appear..

as for the CPU fan, have no clue what that is.. but, i put it back after i dusted it off

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

If you have a friend who has Windows knowledge and can come to your home and check your PC it would be nice.

He or she should check the startup programs or maybe you know how to do it ( use msconfig ) and remove the uninstalled programs probably linked to the "azixejiguluka.dll, KBDMFMDV.dll and DWWIated.dll" files.

You can also run a system check with the command : sfc /scannow

At last ressort you can reinstall the OS if you have the CD and the licence key AND the will to do it

 

[spideyboy_1111]

my windows 7 desktop didn't come with installation discs, it was all pre-loaded on the computer from bestbuy

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

I am sorry but I don't think I can help you more on this case, if I was behind your computer I could but not here.
If the install discs aren't provided maybe there is a recovery option from the boot menu ?

It sounds like your computer.......is trying to take over the world.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

it's most certainly taking over my life at least

Go to PChelpforum, thery're really good.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

What Anti-virus do you have? Some of them aren't that good.

Don't know how much good it'd do but I'd recommend is downloading Malwarebyes Anti-Malware

Your best is what Snare suggested post on a PC forum about your issue. Those people are helpful and knowledgeable. Last year I had the Google Redirect Virus, posted it on a forum (forget which) and a guy walked me through all I had to do.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

ive had that. one of my computer friends said it was no good...

i use ADaware and AVG

 

[Spidey-Bat]

MBAM is the most recommended anti-malware program, even my school's IT department uses it. Your friend is the first I've encountered to say it's not good. Unless he means in this situation which it probably won't help. AVG is usually good.

All I can say is post your issue on a forum that has has a help section for PCs. They'll know better what to do.
