| 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 . 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 starts to go as slow as a 200 mhz computer. is getting very annoying. I defrag'd it, ran virus protection, got windows SP2 and everything but keeps happening after a while. Help? :p |

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

| 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 . |

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 , explorer, TA.com and aim and it still runs slow. my Commit Charge could be like 120 and still slow as
don't really know what it could be in the bios |
