Solve : computer runs slowly.?

1.	Solve : computer runs slowly.?
Answer» Hello, I don't know if this is a Vista problem or a hardware problem. I recently purchased an AMD X64 Dual Core processor 6000+, a new motherboard, and 4 gb of ram. I am running it on an a 32 bit Vista operating system service pack 1. When I was installing the chip inside the motherboard, I accidentally forgot to connect the CPU fan to the motherboard. So during the process of installing Vista of course it would shut off all the time due to overheating. That WENT on for a day. Now the fan is connected and everything, but my computer runs slowly and get's frozen a lot. Would this be due to damage to the chip or the motherboard from overheating? Any help would be appreciated. ThanksI would first try re-installing Vista as any OS that had interruptions in the process however slight will give you issues... Was thermal paste used correctly ? ? InstructionsThe overheating issue could be a factor. But in your case it is best to get back to the company that sold you the machine. When you bought the computer from them, did you ask if it would have problems with the 32 bit Vista? There are known issues with dual-core and AMD CPU s. Please understand I am not trying to bad mouth AMD or dual-core design. The big part of the problem is with a very large company the SELLS Operating Systems to us users and does not say ENOUGH about how many patches it takes to get it to work right. Each package should have a message: Quote Warning: The product may not work right on older harware. And it has not been tested on new hardware. You may need to update this product daily. Not faor use by people with high-blood pressure. The people who sold him the machine had nothing to do with the OS install as he stated he did it himself and had issues... I doubt they would be much help under this circumstance. However if it turns out to be a hardware issue then that's another thing.I recently had the same problem when running windows vista , the best thing is to do is backup all infomation to a Spare hard drive or USB Sticks and Then do a full system restore so it will reset to the factory settings this will help your issueQuote from: Greggaz on January 01, 2009, 06:21:26 AM I recently had the same problem when running windows vista , the best thing is to do is backup all infomation to a Spare hard drive or USB Sticks and Then do a full system restore so it will reset to the factory settings this will help your issue You should mention that this will erase the Hard Drive.Quote from: Greggaz on January 01, 2009, 06:21:26 AM I recently had the same problem when running windows vista , the best thing is to do is backup all infomation to a Spare hard drive or USB Sticks and Then do a full system restore so it will reset to the factory settings this will help your issue This worked!!...THANKS alot
