Hi everyone i have this weird problem that only started to occur yesterday every time i browse the internet for more than 5 minutes on normal windows my computer locks up and i have to hard shut it down. However if i don't browse the internet it works perfectly fine no locking up i even played games like skyrim and starcraft 2 and nothing.

If i go to safe mode of windows the internet works fine and i can browse the internet without a problem. I have tested my memory, checked my hard drive to see if it was fragmented it wasnt, also rolled back to a previous driver and same thing,tried repairing windows nothing. I am about to just reinstall windows and see if that works unless someone can help me, also it is my wireless internet since im on a laptop and dont have ethernet connections.

I have tried all of the browsers available booted to safe mode scanned for viruses nothing uninstalled firefox downgraded nothing opera does same thing.

I used the windows disk to try and repair the installation that didnt work tried to test my ram thats fine used driversweeper to get rid of all traces of drivers to see if something was conflicting same problem. It looks like i will have to reinstall windows and see if the problem persists after that i hope it is something that a reinstall will fix as my laptop isnt under warranty anymore.

Edit okay im just going to reinstall windows

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
