Direct MP3 Download: Podnutz Daily #137 – Love Those Junkers
Encreamated = Encrypted (?)
Helping my business neighbors
The electronics shop down the street
handed me 2 junker computers to fix
(at a lower rate)
Junker = celeron 233 mhz w/ 32 mb ram (Win ME) 10g HD
For google: installing ME and you cannot write to drive C
Just format drive C via fdsk
Customer with random BSOD
Nice machine Antec case/power supply
Nice video card/1g ram …
Reseated graphics card/ram/checked processor and heatsink
These random BSOD were due to bad memory.
Switched out memory and it was all good.
The graphics issues he had were described as
“choppy video when scrolling down a page in IE”
Check graphics/video driver.
Question:
Can Limited Windows profiles even be infected with malware?
We will be testing this by NOT cleaning the limited accounts
and going back in to see if the machine is clean.
Dell Inspiron 5100 series has warning lights.
System has led lights in the front that flash
when there is a system board problem.
