Solve : Slow Computer..? |
|
Answer» Hey, Describe what is slow. Also, what is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)? Slow as in when I try OPENING windows live messenger from the system tray it takes about 10-15 seconds to pop up. No new hardware no new software and no viruses whatsoever.Open msconfig and choose selective startup (disable everything from loading) and reboot. Does the problem still occur? If not, start adding items back to msconfig one or two at a time, rebooting after each change, until the problem reappears and you'll have identified the offending process. However, if the problem continues even with the first selective startup we'll LOOK elsewhereQuote from: Allan on March 05, 2011, 02:59:51 PM Open msconfig and choose selective startup (disable everything from loading) and reboot.

However, if the problem continues even with the first selective startup we'll look elsewhere Ok i did that when i first unticked all of them and that made my computer fast but aero was gone, no wifi, and so on. Then i ticked load system services and that made everything fast with all the start-ups. But still not as fast as it used to. Btw is my Ram working just fine because its supposed to run at 667mhz stock but looking at CPU-Z it shows that its running at 400mhz. Is that normal?That suggests that either you are using memory slower than expected, or a motherboard that doesn't even try to run it at its full speed. CPUs, memory, and hard drives very SELDOM wear down. They're more likely to fail rather QUICKLY and more thoroughly. With Windows 7, 2 GB of memory is not enough to run some of the larger programs. I've found that Crucial tend to offer new types of memory faster than the other sources I've tried. http://www.crucial.com/ You may want to check with your computer's maker to find out just how much memory it can hold. You may also want to check the power settings of your computer - some computers have settings there that can slow down the computer to keep it from overheating - ESPECIALLY laptops.Please ignore the above post - it makes absolutely no sense at all.Quote from: Allan on March 06, 2011, 03:38:10 PM Please ignore the above post - it makes absolutely no sense at all. He's gettin good at that...Quote from: Allan on March 06, 2011, 03:38:10 PM Please ignore the above post - it makes absolutely no sense at all. I kinda get this guy's point. Because my board has overclocking issues and so on. But i dont really know if i do have any wrong settings.. If you guy's need me to post my bios setting ill do thatQuote from: milesrf on March 06, 2011, 03:30:42 PM That suggests that either you are using memory slower than expected, or a motherboard that doesn't even try to run it at its full speed. Yeah true I am thinking about buying sli ready memory for my 780i lie two more 1g's with will sum up to 4G's in total. But i do think that as of rightnow my motherboard isnt using the full potential of the RAM CPU and HDD, which I am not entirely sure of.Maybe your computer's fan is in the wall.Quote from: maxum on March 07, 2011, 12:40:22 PM in the wall. In the wall? What does that mean? You know... in the wall.Quote from: Allan on March 07, 2011, 02:00:17 PM You know... in the wall. Oh! Right! Like in the movie? Quote In the Wall (2007)I mean your computer may be hoverheating because the wall blocks the aeration fan... |
