Computer problems, some real help would be nice,?

Ok, sweet and simple, my computer got some hardware malfunctions after I had it repaired. When I had it repaired I bought a new motherboard, and re-installed Windows XP.



Now these are the problems that come up:



1. My computer CPU Fan is running insane, at roughly 6000+ RPM, it NEVER ran like that, it ran at around 1000-2000 Max. Ive tried freeware programs to change the speed (Speed Fan or instance) But it does nothing. If someone could give me directions on how to manually change the fan speed from my System controls that would be really appreciated, this is my biggest problem.



2. Starting up my system I get a black screen telling me: %26quot;Highlight the selected choice of operating system%26quot; And there are 3 choices, Windows XP Home Edition, another Windows XP Home Edition, and Windows Recovery Console. If someone could tell me how to get rid of this screen, or better yet, tell me how to delete the other choices would be grand.



3. Final problem, while im running Windows, I get a message from Windows Installer, it pops up continuously, and disapears in half a milisecond. NO this does not have anything to do with software failing to install, so don't even write me that crap, this is something else, its just a small tab labeled: Windows Installer, and like I said it pops in and out rapidly, this makes it almost impossible for me to play fullscreen games, seeing as how my screen in minimized every second for a stupid message that disapears in and out.



I wonder if this community has some help in it actually, I would like an answer besides buy something, or a link to a website that wont help me. I need to know how to MANUALLY fix these things. Its like the 3rd time ive asked this question, no one helps me.Computer problems, some real help would be nice,?
i think u should reinstall ur window again then use this antivirus kaspersky7 u can download this from this site www.kaspersky.com .i think it will work to some extent and ur 3 problem must be solve...for more quaries contact me at atulnight@yahoo.co.inComputer problems, some real help would be nice,?
as for the prossesor fan it normally comes with the board of the computer and i want u to know that borad come with different capacity of speed and i will want u to find out thru ur computer properties and check the speed of ur processor.



so for when u start ur computer u see 3 booting options. this is caused when u are trying to make a repair or do an upgrade on ur operating system and also think in one way or the other u have run a recovery console that u did not finish.which is suppose to be done properly. so i advice if u are are good with formating do as if u want to format as u will see an option that will make u view ur partion delete the partrion where these option are and leave the one u normally use.



as for the other one since u can not explain pop message find that out urselfComputer problems, some real help would be nice,?
with the compound problems you describe I suggest you take it back to whoever did the repair %26amp; installed the motherboard. It sounds as though they may have buggered up something when doing the repair.Hopefully they warrantee their workComputer problems, some real help would be nice,?
Trouble is, it seems only a handful of people here are super with computers and then there's a slightly larger group with a reasonable idea and lots who know not much. (I don't belong to the first group. ;-D )



Personally, I'd take this one to a decent computer forum and if it wasn't responded to in a couple of days or so, bump it back up. Try one of these:

Major Geeks I go to quite often and they have different forums for different things, such as a Hardware forum, Software, Malware, etc. I think the others do as well. I suggest either picking which seems the most sensible problem and putting the whole story in there or posting each problem in the appropriate spot and mentioning in each post that this is one of x problems you have posted and the others are in blah and blah forums. Then people can look at everything in case any turn out to be related.



Only suggestions I have are have you remembered to take the CD out of the drive? Just wondering if that's causing your boot message. Otherwise it might be the bootstrap(?) that needs editing because it's ended up with more entries than it should have. I don't know how to fix that but dualboot or dual boot is a key word/phrase for that. Or you may have actually installed Windows twice - have you checked that isn't the case? They would be on different partitions.



The fan speed might be something you can deal with in BIOS Setup - you certainly have a new BIOS if you have a new motherboard so try getting in there and looking for performance and monitoring type entries. BIOS is usually entered with F1, F2, F10 or F12 or Del. (It won't be F8 - that's reserved for Windows boot options.) If you don't see a message on screen about entering Setup as the computer starts to boot but do see a manufacturer logo, try the Esc key to see the information. Are you sure that this isn't normal for the fan? Did you get a new fan when you got the motherboard or is it the old one?



To solve the popping up install window, I can only suggest that you try this:

-- Click on Start --%26gt; Run.

-- In the text box, type %26quot;sfc /scannow%26quot; without the quotes and with only one space which is between the c and the / character and 2 letter N's:

sfc /scannow

-- Click OK.



This will take anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour to run and might require the Windows CD. It's checking the system files are all as they should be and replacing any that need it.



Anyway, a good forum will be better than trying to get that lot solved here, I think. Good luck!Computer problems, some real help would be nice,?
Lets see what we can do... I spoke to one of my techs (Manitou), and he has some ideas that *may* be able to help you.



1) Fan Speed

a) You plugged the wrong voltage connector into the fan so the motor is receiving more juice than it should. This would also be why the attempts to control the fan with software aren't working...the software is looking at the wrong connector.

b) Try looking into the BIOS to see if there is an issue there, or something that will allow you to control fan speed. BE CAREFUL! Save your original settings before changing them

c) The CPU may be running obscenely hot. Was the thermal compound applied properly between the CPU and heatsink?



2) Multiple OSs

Congratulations...when you re-installed Windows, you installed s SECOND copy of XP. You're now dual booting. To get around this, you'll have to either remove (uninstall) one version, or simply format and re-install again. This will take care of both issues. I am presuming that you only have one HDD...



3) Windows Installer...

Sorry, it's annoying (personal experience). We had the same thing happen on our work PC after they forced some updates about 12-18 months back. They eventually had to physically roll-back some drivers and re-install them before it would stop. However, with a touch of luck...taking the more severe option in two (above) should solve this issue as well. If it doesn't, try posting the question on the Microslut website forums.



Good Luck!
