Answer» Okay!. First I would like to mention how embarrassing this for me. I used to be the head of the IT section only 2 years ago. You should tackle your overheating issues 1st... well .. it has been like this since day 1 .. the overheating issue started a week ago .. that's why I thought to change to an advanced processor or somethin .. I'm using the same internet connection like my friend's PC and he's getting much faster flash games .. actually now I'm using his PC to watch on line movies cause mine can't .. and this is not the only internet connection or network card I used .. I used wireless and wired LAN .. different brand .. same same and yeah .. even when I try to play some HD AVI Videos from my hard drive i get a low buffering process. tell me that's not sucksSomething is slowing that machine down... DLoad and run MemTest...let it run at least 2 hours...any errors at all and you have a bad stik of RAM DLoad and run the HDD diagnostics from your HDD manuf. site. Swap another borrowed vid card in there to see if anything changes... I doubt moving from a 3.2 D to a 2.4 Duo would be much of an improvement ...but i'll need to research that...Quote from: patio on March 22, 2010, 10:02:29 AM Something is slowing that machine down... u know what .. that's a great Idea to start with .. I'm gonna run a memory test but regarding the HDD .. I have 2 separated HDD's and I think the primary "Western digital 80GB" HDD is having a small problem that i've noticed about 3 weeks ago .. I'm waiting for a good time to back up my data and formate it into NTSC instead of FAT32 and yeah .. the OS .. I've changed it like a 100 times "XP PRO - XP PRO SP1 - SP2 - SP3" .. same!! Run Data Lifeguard FREE on the WD drive...so here's what I did I ran a memory test .. my BIOS doesn't have one so I had to use a third party program .. "Memtest86 v3.5" and my memory chips passed clean I ran HDD test .. the one you recommended ... and surprisingly my HDDs passed clean too hmm .. what's left .. I changed the OS the other day .. what I did .. I used this OS that I use on all the other computer and it runs perfectly .. it's a clean version with no scratches on the CD .. after installing WIN I downloaded the drivers only so there'll be no interference or anything .. downloaded Firefox .. installed the latest flash player and opened facebook- farmville ... it's a flash game, right? .. well ... it was a sad sight .. it's like trying to move the cursor arrow through .. mud or something .. and the whole PC went slow .. refreshing desktop took time this should not happen right? .. I have a good specs for a computer, right? I don't feel good!! Are you positive ALL drivers were installed ? ? OPEN Device Manager and see if there's any Yellow !! or ??'sall drivers r perfectly installed. I used the original drivers Cd's once and now I'm downloading the latest driver from the main websites of my PC parts everything is good on this front |
