ASPIRE 7740-6656 WIN7 WON'T BOOT BEYOND BLACK SCREEN WITH f2 SET UP UTILITY OPTION

janland

HI ALL.  I READ THE 3 SEMI  RELEVANT POSTS  HERE BUT NOTHING WAS ABOUT MY MODEL AND I DON'T WANT TO START EXPERIMENTING AS A  COMPUTER REPAIR  GURU AT THIS JUNCTURE.THE BLACK SCREEN LEADS TO PHOENIX SECURE CORE

SET-UP UTILITY VIA F2

 

FIRST OF ALL, THIS MACHINE WAS A GIFT FROM A  FRIEND/COMPUTER  WHOLESALER . THIS IS A FACTORY SAMPLE AND DID NOT INCLUDE SUPPLEMENTAL DISCS, MANUAL ETC. 

 

SINCE APRIL THIS YEAR I HAVE BEEN PLAGUED WITH TROJANS AND MALWARE.. INCLUDING DENIAL OF SERVICE MALWARE, WHICH I HAVE WORKED AROUND. BUT EVEN A GOOD VERSION OF MCAFEE & MALWAREBYTES  CANNOT FIND THE PERSISTENT CULPRIT. AND NOW THIS...

 

I AM WONDERING IF THE MALWARE HAS WORMED (SO TO SPEAK) ITSELF INTO THE DEEPER PARTS OF THIS MACHINE.

 

ANY HELP VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

Simply completely delete your hard disks partitions. Use a Linux Live media for booting. Maybe it would be a good idea to install Linux and use all of the hard disk space for that, if you don't know how to manually delete partitions. After that, you can install your Windows version from scratch and there will be no virus anymore.
