  1. No 1 antivirus can detect everything.  I use Norton too (provided free by my isp) and believe it or not the other day I was having trouble activating Norton.  They told me to try in 24 hours and it worked.  Then a couple days later I get a follow up call to see if it was activated.  So they care about the customers.  I have Malwarebytes lifetime license, Norton, use Super Antispyware free, and have a lifetime license of Zemana Antimalware and I even use Zemana's free Antilogger, along with Malwarebytes Anti-Expoit free.

     

    I am always on the look out for freebies and good deals and the only thing I paid for was Malwarebytes that is currently on my system.  Zemana which is not free gave lifetime licenses free to all beta testers.

  2. And I'm telling you it was not.  You replaced the main fan and the problem did not go away until you replaced the PSU, correct?

     

    The CPU fan keeps the CPU cooled off, dissipating heat built up from the CPU.  The PSU (usually, certainly in most PSUs nowadays) has it's own fan that attempts to keep the PSU components kewl is most PSUs as well.

     

    However, in really older computers, such as yours, it is possible that there was, in fact, only a single fan (hard to believe, as my 1997 Pentium Pro 200 MHz from HP had 3 fans in it by itself, but I suppose some manufacturers did skimp to on proper cooling).

    Wrong after the power supply was changed the problem went away.

  3. Hate to tell you this, but your PSU fan is not the main fan.  If the fan on your CPU cooler is not working, it will cause the CPU to overheat and shut down - and yes, that will be via the motherboard, which will (usually) send a shutdown code to the operating system to shut down.

     

    The PSU fan has not been the main / only fan in the computer since back in the days of the original generation Pentium CPUs.  I'm talking mid 90s at the earliest, and certainly 15 years ago. (1999, just before the rise of Windows XP).

     

     

    He said it was the main fan and believe me when that thing wasn't working I felt the top of the computer and it was really really hot.  The computer was a Windows XP which was purchased in 2004.  Believe me without that fan working inside the computer everything was hot.

  4. Funny thing about that problem is two of my brothers said there was nothing wrong with our computer.  I had to tell my 3rd and he agreed with me.  He took the computer to a computer store and the guy said that is your main fan.  My brother got a new one and my dad and other brother replaced it, but the computer was shutting down itself there too tilll they changed the power supply.. 

  5. The fan inside it, we had the same problem years ago on a computer.  If the fan is dead you will need a new power supply.  Run your computer as least as possible because if it is the fan your computer parts could burn up.  We got lucky and nothing was ruined from the fan not working and it being on all the time, but the guy where we got the fan said it could have happened.  He didn't know why it didn't.

  6. Thank you well my father uses Avira and I downloaded and installed Malwarebytes on his computer.  I have a Pro license for him too and your program fixed a malware that was causing a blur on his screen before that he believed the computer was going and so did I.  I thought Avira caught all things but it goes to show you they all don't detect everything.  Thank you for fixing the blur on my father's computer. It was really annoying and it wasn't only in one place.  It was all over the whole screen.  Even Avira had a blur.  Your program fixed it.

  7. and not the ones that bark. Anyway the other day I was downloading a casual game from a site. Well I download many of them so I can't remember the site only file name. Malwarebytes didn't detect anything when I installed the game. I have since uninstalled the game, but today when I ran a scan with Malwarebytes today it detected the installation file as a pup.Pup.BundleInstaller.Ol. My question is why didn't it detect it when I was installing the game?

    Windows 7 64-bit

    Norton Security Suite (Comcast)

    Malwarebytes Pro

    Thank you.
