Today I downloaded microsoft visual studio 2009, for free thanks to being a student in some kind of alliance of universities. Once it was on my computer I realized I had gotten an ISO file. Not having any burner software or even a cd-burner I decided to dig out my old copy of daemon tools.

For some reason, my old copy didn't work this time, though I have been using it for years. So, I went to the daemon homepage and got the latest lite version. I start up the installation and about halfway through it tells me I need to restart my system before I can proceed.

"That's unnerving," I thought.

Since I shut down my system at that time, I have been unable to boot it back up. It freezes when it tries to access the bios. I tried every trick in the book that has saved me before, but this time it seems my bios is well and truly fried.

Getting a new bios or even a new motherboard wont be that much of a stretch, but I'm still pretty annoyed that a piece of software downloaded from what is supposed to be a legit website so thoroughly killed my computer.

Furthermore, although the new version of Daemon Tools is known to cause problems with Windows booting, I seriously doubt it's responsible for any problems with your BIOS.

VS 2008 then -_-

The reason I was suspecting Daemon is because I had been working with my computer for two days or so doing nothing but watching movies and listening to music, and then its death occurred so conspicuously close to the daemon install. And I remember hearing stories about computer deaths related to daemon before. I've used it for years, but then I always stuck with the very old version. I install new version and BAM, herpes. Goes to show change is bad.

Um, yeah, I don't think daemon tools did a thing to your bios. Getting herpes from daemon tools is probably only slightly less likely...
