OK, I know this is a little not welcome or w/e but I have a comp i put together a while ago, AMD Athlon XP 2500, Nvidia Geforce 4200, 512 RAM, Chaintech motherboard, some other shit. At first I had no problems with it, then after about a year I got a new power supply and stuff (that's about the only alteration i made to it) a little while after that my comp started to run really slow every once in a while. I formatted multiple times, about 2/3 times and it starts working fine and then once again shit starts to go as slow as a 200 mhz computer. Shit is getting very annoying. I defrag'd it, ran virus protection, got windows SP2 and everything but keeps happening after a while. Help?

Dresden used a knife. When that knife turned out to be too blunt, Dresden used a sharper knife to slice the penis off. Gabriel apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis..but could not because it was too..."chewy". Dresden then sautéed the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic.

ok, i have to break it to you, but we're pulling your leg with the keyboard shit.

hmmm, so it's running slowly eh? do you ever clean up your hard drive from temp files etc? and..i'm not sure what else, i have trouble assigning a diagnosis without actually seeing the comp and using it

Yeah i figured that was a joke, i know a little something about comps as well. i did the clean up files thing. When I look at the Windows Task Manager my performance is 100% when i'm really not running shit.

do you run slowly in safe mode?

is your cpu fan operating properly?

have you tried removing hardware to isolate the problem?

u say you run 100%... what app is hogging the cpu power?

have you checked all your bios settings?

safe mode doesn't change anything

not much hardware to remove...come to think of it, i got a DVD burner a lil while ago that doesn't read CDs (reads DVD-rs and DVDs only) and it might have happaned after that not too sure

no app is really HOGGING the cpu power, just normal shit, explorer, TA.com and aim and it still runs slow. my Commit Charge could be like 120 and still slow as fuck

don't really know what it could be in the bios
