    Ran a virus removal tool and it came up with 3 kaspersky files that were trojan.
    I cant understand how it will show a boot screen but not load a linux distro.

    Stripping as we speak, reset cmos,1 stick of ram, cpu,usb flash and go from there.

    Ok so make a bootable Mint usb Boot menu then reboot to blank screen.

    Make a bootable Ubuntu usb Boot screen then reboot and blank screen.

    What next?

    Cougar,
    I believe it to be the White screen ransomware virus as it appeared on a couple of occasions which lead to a reboot and then it became apparent that it was something nasty when the screen went white shortly after log on and the drive was then locked on reboot.I assume there was a countdown until lockout.

    Machine is 3 years old based on an Asus P8Z77-vlx MoBo which is UEFI

    Loading OS via genuine W7 64bit DVD then MS W10 download.

    Just sorting a bootable Ubuntu usb.

    Both running PC’s scanned with MWB last night and no issues,PHEW!

    No worries, the only part I have not cracked is erasing the ssd. Cheers for your help thus far!

    So if I,

    Flash the Bios

    Erase the SSD

    Load windows

    I should be in a virus free state?

    GFS,
    Sorry no files are needed from the new SSD as it is a replacement for the original and only has a windows install, I have 3 more HDD’s in the machine with a lot of files I would love to save! All 3 are disconnected form the MB.

    So I can abuse the new SSD in the name of research if it gets the job done.

    Yes,I am self employed so all of my recent bookwork etc plus family pics etc. I have always built my own PC’s so am happy to adapt but where to look?
    I have cold booted and flashed the BIOS but am unable to erase the SSD, the other PC’s have shown no ill effects so am led to think it is just the 1 machine and not the router/other outside influence.
    I dont have a lot of free time at the mo so am looking to cut my losses and get a stable machine back up and running.

    Cheers GFS, the virus I have started as a white screen and now will go through the boot screen until windows logo then just goes to a black screen then hangs. I have installed the fresh SSD loaded win7 then upgraded to 10 then game over.Twice. The SSD is the only drive connected and if I attempt to secure erase it it shows as frozen.

    A Bandsaw is the best for cutting thick timber accurately,use a hand held metal detector to find rogue ironwork.

    There is an agency on a trade Facebook forum currently asking for Engineer’s to home survey,service appliances and fit a co alarm within London for £27, why are they not lasting hmmmm…

    Best not to use the boiler without having an engineer check it out,corrosion is never a plus.

    divenwob

    If the boiler is installed as per the manufacturer’s instruction’s and maintained correctly it will give good service,unfortunately it seems that many installers are not doing this hence the diabolic lifespan.Poor installation followed by poor water quality are the two biggest killers I would say.Feel for you OP.

    Easier to battle it out on here as usual than be pro active and get a demo. 🙄

    I had a result and got Nextie’s but the 710’s are supposed to be a doddle to get tubeless, I had based my fears on a set of BR2250’s which had failed to remain inflated after several attempt’s over several week’s.
