product: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1005G1 CPU @ 1.20GHzBtw which processor is it?
This is also going far behind my knowledge.
And you're welcome.
Thank you for informing me. From what I posted on the capabilities of the cpu is it possible to tell if mine has that feature? My son built his own gaming system and his opinion is to throw it in the trash and get another one but I dislike giving up on something. As far as someone exploiting the vulnerabilities I know something has been exploited whether its those specific ones or not.Spectre is a class of vulnerablies that rely on a CPU feature called speculative execution and not malware itself. Attacks relying on these vulnerabilities have not been seen in the wild as of yet and you would not likely be able to detect them even if someone exploited these flaws. There are some mitigations for some types of spectre class CVEs but it's a tricky class of bugs to patch and probably won't be fully fixed for quite some time.
Hi. I never ran or used any kind of bit coin anything myself. The bitcoin services being blocked by my firewall are not mine so I do not want them sending anything.I would love to know how they have remained on my system considering the extent and multitude of means I have attempted. Correct on the November 2020 update (or clever programming) . The Windows bootmgr along with the other things I mentioned were reported to be corrupt by the log files. I do believe it is possible that someone hacked my system and did all of this just to downgrade my system, allow them control and prevent me from making changes. Can I prove that? Not me personally but I did make copies of the entire drive on USB sticks when this got serious back in April so I have discussed handing it over to some IT and Govt people I know through church and rarely seen family. I just have not decided that its that important for them to invest time in yet.Let's see where we are and what I (mis)understood:
- You did run 4 bitcoin services, miners make extensive use of the computing power of graphic cards, so either your miner or some intruder is using that card
- Your servers are blocked from sending data
- Your bootmanager is corrupt, from the November 2020 update?
- You did run Bitlocker on that machine
- It behaves like Spectre virus has taken over
What else can be done than trying a new and clean install, avoiding all previous obstacles, hence using a new MS account, and clean installation media.
I did not read that you got new media, only a new license.
One option would be:
- create from a different PC a new MS account;
- if you don't have a clean and bootable USB stick with Windows installation media, create one on a different and clean PC (ask your son?), see here for instructions;
- Back to your crippled PC, you have to push, during power up, a specific key several times, or keep it pushed down, look in the manual page, it is often F2, to get into BIOS, find Bootoptions, and select your USB stick.
Or is this a 'bridge to far'?
Thanks. I guess it really does not matter if the update did it or not. Its not like I can get them to reimburse me but I did think they would at least be interested in helping me solve the problem or determine that its was not the problem. I had heard they were upset with the HP partners in China for hardware and software issues regarding these computers and had taken steps to mitigate the issues but i only read that once so who nows if its correct. Have a good day everyone. Thanks to all for trying.Pretty much every CPU uses speculative execution and most certainly all Intel CPUs do. Can an update screw up a system sure, but it's not that common. An incompatibility or degraded hardware is more likely but still somewhat uncommon.
Hi. My bad about voicing my frustrations. I do not get out much. Please dont think I expect anyone to do anything about those service issues. I am either relieving pressure or relating the story when I do that. I will try to pay more attention and not rehash them again but if I do please overlook it. I have done many re-installs they just never worked until I got rid of Windows. The logs would always show where the incoming setup was either fooled or delayed and I could index the entire drive and find where programs or something had actually given command to other components to do just that. I guess that brings me to another reason that makes me think it was a hack. During that time I had found several pages that referred to arch installs and I had never used a linux style product on this system until last week. Maybe its normal to find that or to find logging info where the computer uses odd phrases or seems pissed that another component was discovered to be tampered with. My favorites were: DISM queried and failed to give commanded response to incoming setup!!! Correctly identified itself and other components as corrupt!! Destroy all past logs and begin fallback procedure!!!. and the best one: That was unexpected!!! Attempted to log-in by impersonating built in account only to find account logged in and aware of the attempt. Now I dont know if they were programmed like this or if this was people but I would like to know if it is normal. I doubt it is.We can help you with technical questions, trying to sorting out the maze you got in.
But your main frustration seems to be your contacts with service providers. We can't help with that, but we can listen.
It is difficult to read through these frustrations and select the technical details of your computer. From here it looks like it needs a reinstall, can't you do it yourself, bring it to a repair shop.
I will have to think this over.
