My pc slows down just like that by Exca on 03-05-2006 at 07:43 PM
Hey guys
I don't know, maybe it is because of the new msn build, because that's the only thing changed to my pc last days, but this morning my computer started off as slow as hell. Processes are normal: not too much processes and memory is used, that cannot be the problem as yesterday everything worked fine. Opening 'this computer' takes weigh too much time, the searchlight stays rowling for 30 seconds, opening an mp3 takes much time and i can't run as much things as i used to. I defragmentated my computer, but no effect. Navigating trough maps, internet, programs itself is no problem, that works normal...
anyone who sees what is going on?

have you scanned your pc for adware/spyware/viruses?
RE: My pc slows down just like that by Exca on 03-05-2006 at 08:54 PM
yes, i did.

Post your process screen. There might be something running in the background which you thinks normal but someone on the forums might be able to tell you whats wrong

I have one question: Are you using WindowBlinds 5?

Also try a defrag, and maybe a CHKDSK.

go to run and type in msconfig and then go to the startup tab and uncheck any uneccesary programs for start up.

I also mentioned CHKDSK, to make sure the drive is working correctly.

well i had a problem, about a month ago, that my laptop didn't found my harddisk anymore, so it didn't boot. If i kept trying, it eventually worked afterall. Some messing in the bios solved it and i didn't had a problem with my hdd since then, but i'm not sure whether that problem is fully away, and won't return. Anyways, i'll have a checkdisk, but how do i do that in XP 
. I'll post my processes in a moment.

I also have a similar problem with my PC. It is as slow as hell suddenly for a Celeron 2.6 with 512 RAM. Could you have a look at my shots and update me of what to get rid of cause I haven’t the least clue. Thanx a lot.

RE: My pc slows down just like that by Reaper on 03-06-2006 at 07:56 PM
could you post a screeny of your running processes. you may have a dodgy process in there
RE: My pc slows down just like that by lrac522 on 03-06-2006 at 08:24 PM

do you have the laptop in "always on" scheme?
when it is in power saving mode, cpu power is reduces so that less battery is used, however, when it is connected again, it doesnt change that..
ill add a screenie in a sec
Edit : see the screenie...
(btw, if someone knows how to make it seen on my post like in a preview, please tell me )

Yes, it's always on...
For your picture question: you have to upload your pictures here: www.imageshack.us, it's simple, free, stays online forever, and you get links you can copy paste, to let pictures appear in your post (that would be the option: 'thumbnail code > forum'

Well, yes. I must say that it works already faster now tough, i've deleted some of the startup processes, got only 10 now. Maybe it's just my hardware
I forgive you HP, i've got worse
