Hi, Im new to the forums, I would class myself as advanced, but Im hoping you guys would know whats wrong this time? I have just put my room back to normal, am a radio ham, only alteration this week is an old valve radio sitting on my desk between the tower and the monitor!!! Firstly the pc became very slow and started to be choppy, after two re formats things seem a little better, the wireless internet from BT keeps dropping out, the pc and applications seem a lot slower, and now the dvd drive has stopped see the links for what ive found so fat ATAPI DVD A DH16A1L not reading blank dvd's - FixYa Now the dvd rw drive dont work, do you rekon its a virus?, the valve radio? the heat or the full moon??? Thanks Lawrie x
