This is my first time posting and it's honestly my last resort before I just let this machine turn into a paper weight and save up for a fresh start. I'm hoping someone makes me feel like an idiot with some simple solution, but here goes:
I recently downloaded a bad program that installed a folder in program files called "tew". Within this folder was a few .exe files that were obviously sketchy. (bleats.exe, My Internet.exe, etc.) and had strange company names when I went into 'Add/Remove Progams'. After removing them, they kept showing back up, along with ano error message being spammed every 3 seconds from another program called "network" saying that it couldn't connect to the web (probably to keep downloading bad software). The cpu started heating up from all the spam and whatever else was going on outside of my observations, so I shut down and decided to scrap the info on the drive by reinstalling win7 ultimate.
HOWEVER, after loading it, I can start the install process, but for some reason I lose connection to my monitor, and the machine just sits there humming, never completing the install or anything. I am totally stuck. I've also tried running the repair program on the boot dvd but it just stays in a state of "searching for problems" forever (30 minutes is the longest I waited for results). I have an Ubuntu boot disk, and may try to use it if I don't get any answers soon, to try and wipe the old info from the drive. Hopefully after all of the old info is gone I can install win7 as if it were a brand new hard drive.
Should I scrap it? Should I reinstall my motherboard drivers? Is this something beyond the abilities of a novice pc builder or could I find step-by-step instructions for fixing my problems? This place is my last hope.
Please help me, PC guru's ^_^
