I worked at Best Buy for awhile... Geek Squad's majority are lazy nerds who consider all of their customers "inferior" (after hearing a customer ask "Can you install myspace on my computer?" I don't blame them).

Best to seek computer advice from a reliable source: Friends, forums, or relatives (at your own discretion).

Considering the amount of money you spent, it may be worthwhile pursuing the possibility of a refund. After all, you paid them to fix your PC and they didn't. As to solving your problems, iceburn's advice looks sound.

A while back I got Geek Squad to install a video card on a computer because my dad gave me money (about $50 iirc) and insisted on it "just to be safe," even though I knew how to install one. I said "why not" because I was lazy and gave them my computer and the video card.

When I got it back, I opened up Team Fortress 2 to test it out. My screen went completely apeshit and wouldn't go back to normal.

I rebooted it and it fixed it, and after messing around a bit I found out they didn't uninstall the old drivers and just installed the new ones right on top of them. Fixed it by installing the new drivers properly.

Thanks Geek Squad, for taking my $50 and making me wait 2 days when I could have done it myself. I feel dumb looking back on this. T_T

Google pretty much solves all problems now And Geek Squad is terrible (but maybe it depends on which Best Buy you go to)
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.

How much did you buy your computer for?

I'm surprised people even think about using geeksquad. Helping you 'setup' for your ps3 for only $129.99? Hell of a deal there.

So since you brought it up, I am having a very similar problem set with my computer. Any luck getting it fixed yet, and if so how?

Geek Squad pays their employees $10 dollars a hour, what kind of talent can they get for $10 dollars a hour?

yeah google and all those tech help forums can practically solve anything now. if you don't want to reformat i recommend posting your problems on one of those forums.

geeks to go has saved my life a couple of times already.

Using geeksquad or any ot her service is a retarded thing to do.
1. Install Malwarebytes
2. Run
3. If that doesn't work, go the Hijackthis rout
4. If that still doesn't work, just reformat.
The best part is, all of that is entirely free.

Other than CO patching, is your computer still having some problems?

Also, I HIGHLY recommend asking for a refund from Geek Squad. They did a terrible job there.
