Computer won't stay on after trying install D-Link

[rita2]

Windows operating system - Shut down the computer, plugged in D-Link. Error message said problem shutting down, it tried to do a system repair - cannot get through it without shutting off. Unplugged the D-Link and tried to start the computer and now won't even stay on long enough to boot up even in safe-mode. Suggestions please?

Sounds like you plugged into a malware infested network and got something. I don't recall the exact name of the malware but Microsoft is aware of it...

The results of this damage might include messages appearing unexpectedly, programs starting or closing automatically, or Windows shutting down suddenly.

It might be something else but I'd start with the malware possibility. Since this is an Ubuntu forum I feel it's appropriate to say, why are you using Windows?

Suggest you post your concern on a Windows 7 forum -- recommend sevenforums.com -- as that is one of the best Windows 7 forums.
