Problem with Desk Top PC

[kevsul]

My PC, has crashed, comes up with start from last know good command and Star windows normally ETC.

Even tried to get into safe mode and it just starts all over again.

Counts down the 30secs and starts itself again and on screen it says No signal.

Tried in safe mode with command prompt.

Kev, i had this problem once, it was a Sasser virus. It may be that, i kept getting a 30 second countdown, problem was i couldnt download anything in the 30 second time limit to help get rid of it.

Found this info

You've apparently contracted the latest worm, W32.Sasser.Worm,
specifically designed to attack people who do not update their
computers promptly and who do not practice "safe hex." In other
words, like Blaster, this worm was developed and distributed _after_ a
patch for the vulnerability was announced and made publicly available.
Further, and also like Blaster, this worm could not affect any
computer whose user had taken the basic precaution of using a properly
configured firewall.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next Shutdown countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also,
make sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any
more intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
