  2. There should be no problem in mounting the partition on the SSD (/dev/sda1); in fact if you type the "mount" command, without any parameters, it should show that the partition is already mounted on "/".

    There should be no problem in mounting the partition on the SSD (/dev/sda1); in fact if you type the “mount” command, without any parameters, it should show that the partition is already mounted on “/”. As for the 1TB disk; until you partition it, and create file systems in the partitions that you create, you won’t be able to mount it.

    From the little research I’ve done this seems to be a common fault with these monitors and replacing the capacitors may not resolve the issue because the problem is in the inverter circuit. replacement of the entire controlboard is required. Repair by a qualified technician may be possible but would probably cost as much as a new monitor.

    First of all did he clean out all the places, vents, fans and CPU heatsink?

    If so, and the temperatures stay reasonable, then malware is likely. Run these three small freebies for starters (safe and widely used on forums):

    AdwCleaner:
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/dow…
    (blue Download button near top – not anything else on the page).
    Download and “Save” the file somewhere. Go to the saved file then double click it to run the program. Use the “Scan” button, followed by the “Cleaning” button.

    Junkware Removal Tool (JRT)
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/dow…
    (blue Download button near top – not anything else on the page).
    Download and “Save” the file somewhere. Go to the saved file then double click it to run JRT. It might appear to have stopped at times or flash the screen but sit tight until it has finished.

    MalwareBytes:
    http://filehippo.com/download_malwa…
    (green Download button top right – not anything else on the page)
    Install and Run the program but before doing its Scan go to “Settings > Detection and Protection” and put a checkmark in “Scan for rootkits”. Quarantine anything it finds.

    Please copy/paste the logs on here because, even if the symptoms are cured, further checks will be necessary to ensure your computer is properly cleaned.

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks
