Right I'm not sure if what I'm thinking of is diagnostic software. Basically I'm after a program that searches through your pc and checks that everything is working correctly and if it isn't it cures it for you. Does such a thing exist and if so is it any good?

Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

No, and if it did the majority of the IT industry would be out of a job overnight
...you do however get manufacturers of specific hardware profiding diagnostic/test software to verify certain partd of your PC are working as they should (eg hard drive, RAM etc)0 -

This is a great program, Acer use it to test all there laptops but its expensive and not practical to buy unless your testing loads of PC's. It tells you if you have any faults, hdd, memory, egs but will not fix them for you lol0 -

Firing programs at the computer to find faults is sort of futile, as theyll probably try to fix faults that arnt really faults
Back to basics. Check for malware and lets see whats running ~
Download MALWAREBYTES (Click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
UPDATE and FULL scan
Post the log here after its deleted everything
Download HIJACK THIS (Click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
reboot
SCAN and post the log so we can see whats running
It would also be a good time to let us know whats actually wrong with the computer and how much RAM it has:idea:0
