My Computer Is Being Super Twattish

Oh my god!!!!

There is something seriously wrong with my comp. It quite literally takes about 10 minutes to open up any sort of program, be it the start menu, or My computer and stuff like that. Once the window is opened, everything works at normal speed. Until i want to use another program or something

So right now i'm running Ad-Aware (that took its time to come up omfg :whip

once i've done that i'm gonna run Spybot.

funny thing is, Task manager says that i'm only using 25% of my RAM and the CPU is hardly even working, which is what is flummoxing me!

Next i'm gonna run Norton Antivirus, as i think that may be whats up

Might be to do with a corrupted partion table on your hard drive .. try running norton disk doctor or an equivalent ..

computers are annoying.

Get rid of all the Midget Porn and pictures of laydeees with strange vegetables sticking out of them

Will work a dream then

i've got exact same problem lam so if u find a cure please do tell mate

Aye i got a similar problem, it takes ages for my xp to start up and shit. i went thru the task manager and checked all the running processes but they were ok, and emptied my prefetch folder and ran Ad-Aware and norton and got rid of all my temp files but its still slow.

Fk knows wots wrong with it, but i can't be arsed to reformat it.

i don't think so, cos i have no partitions on my HD.
If there was a faulty sector, something on the comp wouldn't work at all, but i do think it has something to with the HD. Gonna defrag it a few times next.

if when u defrag it it gets slower, you've got the same problem as me, which i can't solve.

Only 4 months until SP2

Not partions as in hdd partions splitting the space up but the actual boot partion that exists on the hdd .. if u get what I mean .. anyhow just a guess probably wrong ..

i love my computer, its a pii350 and it runs better thanmost other peoples i know, part from maybe harriets coz hers is new.



even before i reformatted it it ran well, just gotta keep ontop of viruses, adware and shite on ya hard drive i reckon.

my computer goes at the speed of lightning! it is a truely marvelous being!

my computer SHOULD be fast

i'm thinking i need 256mb more ram, and another HD

my comp here at werk rules all of ur computers to the deathz0r.

its a p4 gazillion Mhz with 1Gb RAM and a bitch mama of a graphics card that's got its own hardcore fan, altho not as hardcore as the fan on my processor, which is hardercore than any other ever, and its dual monitor, 22" and 19" and i've had it for 2 months already and there's not one temp file on it anywhere.

and i have a partition on my hard drive just for a photoshop scratch disk. that is 10Gb.

yeah...my bitch of a computer has been running fucking slow for awhile lately...it has to do with something odd called my "lack of virtual space"..cept no idea where the fuck that is located on my xp and cannot find it when i do search...

hehe. that'd be the x.386 files that are hidden files. windows uses it as virtual memory, where it can store information out of the memory buffer to perform its everyday calculations. pc's need lots of spare hard drive space to run, and whichever drive your v.memory is set to should have at least 500Mb - 1Gb space free on it at any one time.

sounds to me as if your harddrive needs de fragmentating, or the actual drive is just geting old, you got any info onthe harddrive?

well i did a massive cleanup on the drive on the 19th, and everything worked a treat, only this week has it been playing up.

I've been cutting loads of movies on to CD and defragging everytime, but its still slow, i think it may be the hard drive on its way out, i've only had this comp for just over a year

any idea what make harddrive it is?

my harddrive is a 1.6gig quantum scirocco 9 years old and still going strong

ok i've finally managed to sort of solve the problem, there is some bad sectors on the HD, so i will have to run chkdsk to solve it, but i have to link the hd to my old computer and turn it into a slave...my uncle tells me its on the way to failure, so...i can get my mother to buy a 120gb one

fooking computers. The fan on my laptop is fucked i think because it doesn't extract any heat so it crashes after about half an hour. The poor little bugger got picked up by the computer men today to be fixed. Gonna miss it and i need it grrr

toni
i hope you didn't try and use the computer too many times when the fan was fucked...doing that can fry the processor

i did use the bastard because i got so angry with it i wanted to throw it out the window. I was determined it wouldm't beat me. But it did, so it prolly fried. Good. The computer company can pick up the tab


Grrrrr
