Yes, i am a bit biased.
But, as i said, it might be something totally different than virus/malware/such, so it's impossible to know that formatting+installing all your usual software, would get rid of the problem since MA isn't telling what exactly is causing it.
Unless you are suggesting that you shouldn't install anything else but EU into the computer, even disable ALL of window's services/updates (yeah that's a bit long strech).
And yes, you could get rid of it by reformating your HD and installing everything again and be fine with it. What then when this same thing starts to happen to other people? No one still doesn't have a clue what is causing it, and i would really much like to know what it was to be able to avoid it in the future.
Yes i know, but if we exclude the "normal" programs pretty much everyone else claims to run without problems in this thread whats left is either:
a) Him running some dodgy shit and being aware of it, which would mean he is lying.
b) Something got onto his computer by mistake (him or someone else DLing something infected or similar) That wasnt identified so far, even if he claims to have done all he can to find it.
If we accept his story that only leaves b), and since it apparently is very hard to find, has caused problems ALOT of times (the 6 locks) i cant really see any way out of it besides reformatting?
My point isnt that
"you should just format if something is wrong", its more of a
"nothing else works, i keep getting locked and i cant figure out wtf is going on, neither can MA apparently besides something isnt 100% ok, so i guess i have to format or take a break from EU until i find out wth is going on"...
