Solve : Slow or freezing on a Vista Gateway Machine....? |
|
Answer» Here's the gist of the problem. I restart computer and turn on World of Warcraft and play for awhile. Turn it off and try to start a web browser. It either takes forever for it to load or when it does the it just says connecting and never brings up a web page. Now I have this same problem when I turn on a P2P program, Vuze. Its like something gets turned on in the background that is sucking all my memory. But I've used a few memory freeing programs and it doesn't seem to help. The only thing that helps is to restart the computer. Even when I restart it it will take 5 minutes or more to log off just to restart. I'm wondering if this is something in Vista I don't know how to fix. I'm running..... You're destroying your connection with Vuze. Ok but this happens even when I haven't had Vuze on. It happens when I'm playing WoW and even when I've just reset the computer. AND I just swapped out my modem today to see if that is it. So far its not. Its frustrating because I can't TELL if its a processor/memory thing or a net connection thing. Hm... is this the only computer in the house doing this? I fear you may be the victim of a botnet. That botnet might be doing the same thing I thought Vuze was doing. Head over to the Virus section here and see if they can't help you.Download Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx Unzip ProcessExplorer.zip, and double click on procexp.exe to RUN the program. Click on View > Select Colunms. In addition to already pre-selected options, make sure, the Command Line is selected, and press OK. Go File>Save As, and save the report as Procexp.txt. Attach the file to your next reply. Take two snapshots. One with freshly started computer, and another one after playing WoW for a while.Each one is named for each time. i.e. Fresh start, right after a fresh start and so on. [ATTACHMENT deleted by admin]So, we're not dealing with CPU usage here. The lowest, System Idle Process goes is 87.69%. Let's see couple more things... 1. Download, and install SpeedFan: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php Post your computer TEMPERATURES: Provide processor info (hold Windows logo key, and hit Pause/Break key to find out). Post two snapshots, one right after fresh computer start, another one after playing WoW for a while. 2. Download HijackThis: http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download by clicking on Download HijackThis Installer Install, and run it. Post HijackTHis log. Do NOT attempt to fix anything! NOTE. If you're using Vista, right click on HijackThis, and click Run as Administrator |
