Author Topic: computer troubles. youtube videos goofing off. images not loading. steam loving  (Read 1633 times)

i've been having computer troubles for the last week. steam won't load. youtube videos replay themselves sometimes, or just end randomly in the middle, as if they were uploaded for a shorter time period than what they were supposed to, or they start getting video errors, such as pixelation or green screen errors. some images won't load, they'll stop half-way down before turning to static then a grey spot. like a corrupted jpg file. it also screwed up blockland, therefore i have to constantly re-enter my key, but i don't have it anymore so i can't, so i haven't played in 3 months. my anti-virus (malwarebytes) says it hasn't been updated since 22 days ago, but it said that as soon as i downloaded it to try and fix the issue. i ran a scan it came up with nothing. my mother downloaded all these other useless anti-virus programs like windows defender or whatever and it came up with nothing. we tried to reformat but we can't. (or my mother doesn't remember how to) we can only restore back to april 26th, but that's work either.
can i get some help please, like how to reformat so i can try it myself, or something to fix this stuff without reformatting.
i'm going to run another scan, then go to bed.

steam will close for absolutely no reason at all on me, even in games
youtube has also been doing the same thing for me
images will sometimes corrupt

you're not alone, everything's breaking :(

found 8 objects. they're all PUP Software or something. i deleted/quarantined them, steam however is still goofing up.

what computer brand

It sounds like you are having internet connection problems. :o

nope its still somewhat forgeted. steam is trying to update twice in a row for no reason. the date said april 22nd, and youtube videos keep loving up. images are also still going blank or corrupted. so ready to pull a magnet over the harddrive.

what computer brand

bump.
Like I said earlier, sounds like internet connectivity problems. Are you connected through a wired connection to a modem or router?
