Hello everyone!

PC don't work good with network cable pluged in socket. It restarts at the
moment cable touches socket. Then at start it don't load windows and
monitor
turns off.

I see after line "NVRAM Ok" screen with dush-pointer blincking and then it
drops few clear lines and again blinck. Is it normal?

But sometimes it loading system. I disconnected some hardware like
CD/DVD-Rom and Floppy Disk and i got connection to internet normal for one
day. Problem is that I don't know is it right on wrong but windows in My
Computer shows device Floppy Disk as present. Is it emulation from some
virus, rootkit?

I loaded HDD utility from CD to format drive and made new partitions but
after windows installation the network cable troubles. One thing that
confused me is that programm shows partitions or one partition after
format
that shouldn't present. All the time they are not more than 1mb space or
3mb, and impossible to delete. Even one time Vista installation menu
showed
it. I think it boot virus.

How to locate harmfull programm and to remove it?
