http://pastebin.com/8v7AgHhb so, here's the deal—if anyone can help me out before I just give up and take this thing to a repair shop, I'd really appreciate it. I tried posting this on another forum earlier and just got totally roasted, so... yeah. About a year ago, I installed Windows 7 on my old PC and everything was smooth sailing. Well, about a month ago I picked up a new machine—nothing crazy, just a decent budget build—and I set it up with Windows, updated all the drivers, threw an antivirus on there... but even after reinstalling ten different times, I keep hitting the same wall. I honestly thought I was just doing something wrong. Some guy actually hopped on TeamViewer to try and help me out, but he ended up giving up too. Basically, when Windows boots up, I hear this constant "beep beep beep" sound until it finally loads. Once it's up, if I try to open Firefox or even just a folder, like ten identical windows pop up at once. Or if I try to run a program installer, the window just flickers and disappears instantly. Weirdly enough, if I open a folder or Firefox and just search for something random on Google, then switch away from the browser without restarting, the computer seems to act normally for a bit. I've tried pretty much every antivirus out there and nothing finds a single thing. I even swapped out the mouse and keyboard, but no luck. Maybe I messed something up in the BIOS? Does anyone know how to update a BIOS, or maybe what kind of tool I should use to check if all my components are actually running okay? Please, don't be mean about it—I’m definitely not a pro, though I think I know my way around a computer well enough. This has never happened to me before. Also, the motherboard temp is hitting 123 degrees, which sounds sketchy, and my keyboard is typing letters wrong. If anyone has any ideas, thanks so much. Here is the log:😵🙂👎
