New Virus - Computer Bios Resets Automatically

[Samson]

I would advise you choosing these kind of search engines. They will spam and would be a nuisance PUP to get rid of . Did not you hear babylon tool, mysearch engine, which forcibly dent to your registry and it would be difficult to get rid off totally. In registry, you have to find atleast 49 items to kill the processes. That too , it will be found in different names. Pl beware of suspicious search engines. Pl use only google . It has capacity to find anything. Google has also has voice search engines.

It IS using Google. It is a website, no install, no spam, no PUP, no registry entries.

If anything Google is dangerous, spying, tracking and collecting data, personally I use https://duckduckgo.com/ as my default, but hey ho! Others are available.

Hi, Samson, if i click the link a new search engine probably a browser hijacker site is redirecting google

No it is n't. It is "Let Me Google That For You". I was trying to let Rick know that Google is your friend 

No, I dont think google is my friend, google play services for example keep getting outdated and other services like majic jack that depend on google will not work properly...
just my experience MAJIC JACK, hope you fix that, why you need google maintain your subscribers anyway?

duckduckgo-com is browser hijacker http://www.rescuemybrowser.com/duckduckgo-com-virus-removal

even i suspect the link. It is not google regular. Some take suggestions and other do not. Let them experience the PUP and then they will decide.
                              Even genuine search engines and downloads inject custom tool bar etc while installing. What to tell suggesting suspicious websites , and using the same and telling others that it is not . Just type and you get what you want in regular google. I promise that there is no search engine like google because of its wide range of supports.

what may we don’t know is google is spying on us so don’t use google software anymore

here a great software Against Google https://www.abelssoft.net/apps/googleclean/

[Samson]

Beginning to wish I had not started this 

@ Gamez, Duck Duck Go is NOT a virus. Given your history, would you recognise one anyway?

@Jraju, "let Me Google That For You" is NOT a search engine, it is a website that generates a link to a short video for a Google search, for those either too lazy or incapable of using Google themselves to search.

@ Both, Google is working for "The Man", tracking, spying etc.

Topic has gone way off The OP's problem. If you wish to debate the merits or otherwise of LMGTFY or DDG, then open a new thread and I will be happy to debate with you there

is there some way can run a program to determine the right power supply should has?

http://bfy.tw/Gj0

found this one, but it is more complicated than checking my internal hardware already

[Samson]

How about some of the others on that list that I provided In the LMGTFY link?
Like.....

http://powersupplycalculator.net/
http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html?name=Power-Supply-Wattage-Calculator

Some look a bit simpler, as to accuracy? Well that's anyones' guess.

[Boggin]

The free version of HWMonitor will tell you the voltages the computer is using but I'm not competent to tell you if yours are correct.

The values are dynamic so you could leave it running to monitor if there's a drop from when it's running normal.

Post a Snip and someone should know if your values are about where they should be.

http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html - the download link is in the lower left pane.

thanks everyone for your replies, seems we need a 520watt power supply, what have now, who knows, next step is to look...

[Rick]

I agree with Samson. Maybe drivers or a dying cpu.
Here is a useful program I use for drivers http://m.download.cnet.com/Driver-Booster-2/3000-18513_4-75992725.html
And hw monitor
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
Edit: hw monitor for watching power levels but an actual meter is better  http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16899261023

bought a new PSU last year, added a power supply last year too.

Have you tried?

I don't want buy driver booster

I would n't recommend third party driver software, It is always best to get them from the hardware manufactrer's site.

[Rick]

I have added this event to this category as it may help us to find the route cause...

So far, leaving the HP printer off has had no reset Bios Event.

for reference; my PSU is only operating at 240w

I will remove the DVD, DVD draw power even if not in use right?

I had upgraded my hard drive after last failure to a T, one would be wise to note to increase their wattage until we can make them more energy efficient too PSU 440w or higher for stable system operations

Buy??? I got the free version

[Rick]

Th Fun Continues : just happened again...

Checked Firwall settings
Removed, re-installed MSE and doing FS now.
Modified Bios setting to S3

[Rick]

The Fun Continues;

Sometimes, when in sleep mode or hybernation, it wont wake up when I click the mouse or keyboard...

I disabled the DVD, unplugged the old hard drive no in use to conserve all the power possible.
Set Bios to SV3 as suggested

I will run out to buy a new power supply with twice as many watts or server quality...

Happy 2015 4th of July

How to reset Sleep Mode and Hibernation modes to  default settings?

How to reset Sleep Mode and Hibernation modes to  default settings?

powercfg -restoredefaultschemes

[Boggin]

Do you really need Hybernate - I have it turned off on my laptops with the elevated cmd powercfg -h off and that freed up about 6GB on the HDDs.

If you want hybrid sleep then unfortunatly yes you need hibernate... 
hybrid sleep is awesome It will knock the computer almost out cold and if you lose power it will turn on as if it was hibernating unlike the old sleep where if it lost power the ram is gone.

Same applies to both laptops and desktops. As Boggin has said, saves GBs. I have it turned off on desktops too.

[Julian]

okay so what i've said earlier if you want to use hybrid sleep you must have hibernate on if you want to use old school sleep you take of hibernate what happens is if you computer is in sleep mode and the hibernate is off and you lose power to your tower everything would not be saved it would be like an inproper shutdown. now if you had hybrid sleep enabled meaning you have to have hibernate enabled as well. if would put your computer to sleep like the other sleep mode does but if the tower loses power it will reboot as if it was hibernating so it won't have an improper shutdown. so pick your choice do you want to save the gb space or do you want the extra file protection if you lost power.

Thanks, concise explanation.

edit: I am assuming that the HDD space "saved" by turning off hibernate is equal to the amount of RAM on the machine? Is that correct?

Well, just happened again...
Had Word open, had print a file and run outside, by the time I get back, it happens again...
also had to restore too

No doubt, its a virus, or back door hacker....
