Pc Processor Starts To Work Slow
Replies: 5 | Post Date: 3 months ago | User: Andr3y | Forums: answers.yahoo.comI had this problem before too, i reformatted the whole drive and all seemed to work just fine. But today it appeared again: i use winamp to listen music and when i start an application like ym, firefox or whatever uses the processor, the music slows down until the application is fully loaded. Also everything is being processed at a much slower rate than usual (like 5-6 times slower). My windows xp service pack 3 now starts in about more than 2 minutes. Before was like 30 seconds.computer specs are:
- Intel celeron processor at 2800 mhz
- 512 ddr 2 ram memory
- Nvidia geforce 8500gt (256mb)
- Intel 82801fb ich6 - high definition audio controller [b-2]
- 80 gb hard drive
As i told before i reformatted all of the hard drive completely thinking that it's a virus but now it's starts again after about 2 weeks of fresh installation. Is it a hardware problem? I have to mention i had this version of windows xp sp 3 installed before for more than 6 months working just fine.

Nothing Starts Up
When i push the power button on my computer they only think that comes on is the motherboard power indicator and the light on the front of the computer. This happened about a week ago when i was playing dod: source, i smelt buring electronics and my computer died. I also had installed 2gb of ram the day before. I've been told many times that it is the psu. I just bought a new one today, installed it and nothing. Although, the fans do jump when i turn it on. Good sign?

Pc No Longer Starts
I use to have a 754 socket asus board in my computer which i recieved from cyberpower systems. The old agp card it came with was unbearable so i ordered a giga-byte board model ga-k8ne and a pcie xfx 7600gt for the time being. Excited i started taking apart the mess cyberpowersystem had done to this case. Hundreds of useless wires eveywhere. So finally i get the new mother board in, to double check i followed the instructions on all the hook ups. Screw it all back in, plug it in, and the press the power button. Nothing. So i double check everything. Looks good. Try it again. Nothing.could this be a dead board? My only concern was that i have a 20 pin power supply rather then 24, but according to the instructions this shouldn't be a problem since i used the the right set for a 20 pin power supply.could anyone else think of what could be wrong? I have emailed giga-byte but new to them so im unsure how long it'll take for an answer.

Computer Starts But Display Does Not Come
I've got what i believe is a serious issue with my rig. Since this morning my rig does not boot properly. When i hit the power button to computer starts as normal, however the display never "unsleeps". Also my modem has a light that indicates pc activity, and this light remains out. This leads me to believe that there is nothing actually going on in the box, just fans/drives spinning. I have checked all the wire conections (internally, and externally) also all fans are spinning including vid card, and the hard drive is spinning also. The dvd drive will open and shut. On startup the machine still dual boots (as i have read is expected for my chipset) so i believe that the mobo is fine. If there is any othe info you need please ask. Rig in sig (q6600).

Computer Starts Up But Only Get To The Bios
Alright, computer was working fine went into the other room when i came back the computer screen was black and the desktop sounded like it was still running. Tried to turn the desktop off, but it wouldn't turn off. The computer screen said it was working fine and i needed to check the cable i hooked it up to my laptop and it works fine. When i unplugged the desktop or turned the switch off in the back the computer shuts down. When i plug it back in or switch the power switch on in the back the computer sounds like its turning on the fans and all the lights start and come on. Only thing that doesn't work is the cd drive doesn't open and nothing comes up on the screen. I have had a problem with the power supply before and replaced it. I thought it was the power supply again and just today replaced the power supply again. I still have the same problem. I've read some other posts about similar problems, but they all seemed to be fixed with power supplies. I have also read that i should be able to get to the bios when the computer starts up, but haven't been able to get anywhere. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Pc Starts Up With Black Screen And With No Beep
Every time i turn my computer on it starts up but the screens black and there is no beep. I push restart and it loads up fine. I used to have a faulty graphic card and that would beep twice and stay black. This is different. Anybody know what the problem is?

Mouse Is Not Found When The System Starts Up
I have an ibm ps/2 optical mouse. Once in while, when the system starts up, the mouse is not found. When i reboot, the problem goes away. I have win xp now, but i had the same problem with win 98. According to the control panel, i have no problem with the driver (from microsoft).

Pc Starts To Boot And Freezes Before Windows
I turned on the pc and the "intel desktop boards" screen appears. And that is it! Usually that would flash and the next screen would be detecting my ide card and recognizing the hard drives but it doesnt even get there. The screen that it is stuck on shows the processor speed, how much ram, and that the keyboard, mouse, and the usb legacy is enabled. The bottom says hit f2 to run set up and f12 if you want to boot from network. I can not get into the bios. The most i made it do was get it to say "entering setup" by hitting f2 as soon as the page came up. But it never goes anywhere after that. Frozen! Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I am not a computer wiz, just a long time tinkerer. I have built 2 or 3 in my lifetime and have just basic knowledge.

What If Nvidia Starts Manufacturing Cpus?
What will the scenario if the nvidia starts manufacturing cpu's? Nvidia has been manufacturing cpus for a long time. Of course, they call them gpus. But gpus perform a similar function and are much more powerful than cpus. Many experts predict that gpus will eventually perform the function of cpus, making the "cpu", as we know it today, obsolete. Intel has already taken a step in that direction. Some of their "cpus" now are actually intel gpus that you install in a cpu socket. http://www.Intel.com/consumer/products/processors/corei3.htm
The performance is a bit under-whelming, doing neither graphics nor cpu functions very well. But it's a good first try! Especially considering intel has never been a major player in gpu hardware.amd knew a long time ago that hardware was going to go in the direction of having the gpu perform all the functions of the cpu. While amd could have created a gpu capable of operating as a cpu and being competitive with intel or any other player.amd decided to take a short-cut by buying ati. Now you know why amd bought ati.amd wanted ati gpu technology that they could "tweak" to perform as future amd/ati gpu / cpus. The killer combination would be if intel bought or merged with nvidia. Then intel could tweak nvidia gpus to behave like intel cpus. Awesome!
But there is nothing stopping nvidia from integrating cpu functions into nvidia's line-up of gpus, with or without help from either of the two major cpu hardware vendors. It's not a matter of if nvidia will start manufacturing cpus, it's a matter of, when nvidia starts incorporating cpu functions into their gpus, will nvidia be able to gain the support of the major motherboard manufacturers? A gpu/cpu combination is useless without a good selection of motherboards to support it. My prediction is that within 10 or 15 years maximum. We won't be buying cpus and video cards. We'll be buying chips that function as both. They will be (mostly) gpu designs, but function as cpus also. I think the best description of such a beast would be "gpu". But if the market follows intel's lead (like it usually does), the combo chip that has multiple gpu cores and functions as a cpu will likely be called a cpu. Which is a bit misleading.

Mouse And Keyboard Freeze When Windows Xp Starts Up
Sometimes when windows xp professional starts up on my computer, the mouse will not work properly. It is just frozen at the welcome screen. However, i can still use the keyboard to login. The mouse is a ps/2 mouse. After windows finishes login in and shows the desktop, the mouse is still frozen. Sometimes the mouse will function properly on the welcome screen. However when my computer enters standby mode the mouse and keyboard are both usually frozen when i try to bring the computer out of standby mode and the computer is unresponsive. I think this has also happened after a few minutes of not using the computer while the computer was running.

Hsf Volcano 9 Cause Hdd Starts Spinning
I went to the computer shop and picked up a new led fan, fan grill, cathode light, and a new hsf (volcano 9). I hooked everything up and when i go to turn it on my hdd starts spinning then stops then starts then stops. Etc (in 1 second intervals), it sounds like its the computer is in a never ending cycle. When i was trying to take off my old hsf i slipped on brackets a few times and hit the mobo, i looked carefully and it doesnt appear to be any damage. Now the new volcano 9 is a little weird cause the three pin connector for the power/sensor are split up. Instead of all three cables on the same connector the 2 power and one sensor are connected to seperate connectors. I have the sensor one connected to the 3 pin connector where is normally goes and the other one has a molex adapter which is also connected. Im thinking that maybe cause all three cables arnt connected to the primary 3 pin connector that the computer isnt reckognizing that theres a hsf there so its preventing it from turning on.

Dvd Drive Works Until Windows Starts
Recently i connected my hd into other pc then i connected it back on my pc but now i'm having a hard time to make my dvd drive work, i never had problems before and it was working fine. This is what happens: when i turn on the pc, the dvd led flashes and everything, i can open and close the tray without problems. The dvd drive is showed in the bios too. But as soon as windows xp starts loading the dvd drive wont work, with this i mean it wont even open the tray. Once windows has started its the same. It looks like the drive is detected because under device manager it shows this: "dvd-rom scsi cdrom device", and my other cd drive is listed too. But when i try to access it, i get a "please insert a disk into drive e:" eventho i already have a disc there. If i try to eject it using windows nothing happens. This is how i have my connections:
(Got primary and secundary ide enabled in bios)
Primary ide: master is my hd
Primary ide: slave is cd-rom drive
Secundary ide: master is dvd drive (the one with problems)
Secundary ide: slave = nothing
Already tried swapping the dvd-drive to primary ide as slave but it happens exactly the same. Im so confused, why would it work before windows starts to load, but wont work after? What do you recommend me to do? Im out of ideas, do you think its the drive jumpers? Or something related to windows? Should i reinstall?

Wd Aaks Drive Stops And Starts Spinning
When i'm doing random tasks on the pc the system will stop responding until the drive spins up. Sometimes i will attempt to open an image or video file (even on different drives), the entire system hangs, then you hear the drive click/spin up and then everything is back to normal. The drive also does this when the pc is idle. If the drive is dying, is it worth it to rma? I bought it back in november 2008.

Keyboard Does Not Respond When Computer Starts Booting
When i boot the lights on the keyboard flash, but once the computer starts booting, the keyboard does not respond. It often just gets cut of in the windows as well. When this happens i just unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. It usually works within few attempts but at times it does not work at all. So i have to restart few times and play around until it does. I tried a different keyboard and everything, but nothing helps.

Cpu 2.93ghz Seen As 2.2ghz On Computer Starts
I am building a testing server, and i installed a soyo p4vte socket 478 motherboard and intel celeron d 340 2. 93ghz processor - when i start the computer the cpu is read at 2. 20ghz. I'm not sure why it say this. I looked in the motherboard manual and it speaks of cpu clock frequency. I believe its currently set at 100, but it can be 133 or 200m. Is this why i'm having this problem?
The memory is 512mb pc3200 ddr 400mhz cl3. If someone know whats going on, please let me know.

Laptop Reboot Itself - Vista Starts Shutting Down
I have valuable pictures and videos on my compaq laptop and now it wont turn on! Its starts to boot windows vista home basic and it even goes to the advanced boot options page, but no matter what i pick from the menu it goes to start up and right as windows vista starts booting it says "shutting down"! After that is just keeps making the start up jingle and it keeps attempting to reboot in its own, i dont know what else to do but i have lost so much sleep over this because this computer has very priceless pictures and videos on it. I have a new laptop now and i want to throw this one away i just want my pictures!

Computer Just Shuts Off And Green Led Starts To Blink
Ive built a computer with an athlon64 3200 processor, everything works perfectly however from time to time the computer just shuts off all of the sudden and the green led starts to blink, i have to unplug the power cable for about 10 seconds from the bank of the computer and then i can start the computer again. My power supply is an antec 350w i believe.

Cpu Fan Starts To Spin For A Split Second And Then Cuts Out
I just put together a new workstation, and when i press the power button on the front of the case, the cpu fan starts to spin for a split second and then cuts out and nothing else happens, no beeps, no post, nothing. Bad power supply or is something hooked up incorrectly?

Lose My Dsl Internet After Screen Saver Starts
I am still having a problem with winxp and dsl-internet connection being lost after being away from my computer for any period of time!
I've gone into the power management and turned off the option to power down the nic card when winxp enters screen saver mode. I also have turned off hibernation
Everytime i come back to the computer (say 30-60mins) i have no internet connectivity or very slow connectivity.

Install New Ram, Computer Starts Loading Up Very Slowly
My computer has one stick pc2700 512mb and one stick pc2100 256mb. Total of two slots for memory. Today i bought a stick of pc2700 512mb ram to replace the pc2100 256mb one with. I installed it in my computer, and switched it on. For about thirty seconds after booting, everything was fine. The memory showed up under the "my computer" information window and everything. Then, everything went haywire. The computer started loading things up very slowly, taking several seconds to open/close windows, call up the start menu, and so on. Eventually it simply froze (mouse still moving, but no clicks having any effect). I switched it off then back on, and it got through the windows xp loading screen then before the login menu just froze to a black screen. Switched off then back on again, started in safe mode, and got to the login screen, but upon logging in, was told explorer.exe had encountered an error and was being closed, so, no desktop. I was looking in the ctrl-alt-delete window for the "run programs" button (i thought i remembered there being one there) when the computer spontaneously reset itself. After the winxp login screen, it flashed a bunch of text for a split second and spontaneously reset itself again. At this point i shut it off, took the new ram out, put the old ram back in, literally shaking with nervous tension as i switched it back on. Well, i'm now typing this email from the computer i'm talking about, so as you can see, everything turned out okay. What do you think the problem was? I suspect it was a wattage problem. Does this sound accurate to you guys? (Old computer. 250 watt power supply. )
Taking a look, installation of a new power supply looks actually kind of complicated. It looks like i"m going to have to unhook everything inside my machine. I am not at all mechanically inclined, so this is not an inviting prospect. So if there are any other theories/suggestions how to fix this, i would be quite grateful.could it just be the fact that i'm mismatching brands of ram? Someone told me that's not ideal-but it's not that bad to do so, is it?
(Also, btw, do you think i'll see any performance gain in games by (as i tried to do) moving my ram from pc2100 (266mhz) to pc2700 (333mhz) and adding 256mb? Or would it be undetectable?)
Configurations:-
Amd athlon 2000+
Geforce fx5700le
768mb pc2100 ram

Computer Becoming Very Slow
Just posting to say that my computer has been acting awfully slow in the last few days, this happened to me on my last windows installation until it became almost unusable it was that slow and required me to back everything up and reinstall windows. What i mean by "slow" is its just generally becoming slow, msn will hang and take about 3 or 4 mins literally to reopen sometimes when minimized, which then freezes ie 7, wmp 10 if im listening to music. All i see is white bits on the screen where that active window was and the hourglass symbol. And just a sidenote - my cpu usage goes right up to 100%.

Slow Server
I'm having trouble with a server where it sometimes slows down. I've attached a screen shot of the top command (linux). The iowait is at 87. 1%. I've found in the past that putting the os onto one harddrive and data on another reduces io wait. Is this the right solution to this problem or is there possible something else?

Slow Drive
I have a asus p6t se mobo/i7 920 processor, with wd5000aaks 500 gig drive running on windows 7 64bit and i am getting 101 mb/sec average speed. I was initially running on ide in the bios and i've updated that to ahci. Ran the hd tune test again and don't see any change in hard drive speed. My questions is that shouldn't it be closer to 300mb/sec since its a sata 2 drive. Why is my drive so slow? Would really appreciate some help since this is a 1 week old pc and i feel the hard drive issue is really causing my pc to be not performing as it should.

Router So Slow
We're on shaw high speed and even pay a little more for extreme high speed. It was quite good for sometime and then it started to bog down. Now it takes forever for even simple webpages to load (eg: facebook). I am running my internet through my linksys wireless n router and yes its secured. No matter which computer (2 laptops, 2 towers and an ipod touch) i use in the house its slow. But if i bypass the router (which is new by the way) and hardwire my pc into the modem directly then its very fast and responsive again. What the. Edit: i am not talking about my wireless connection, i'm talking about the hardwired connection
- The weather is not a factor, it's been nothing but sun for the last while
- I have restarted my router and modem. - I am going to call my internet provider tomorrow, just if you have any settings i might be able to change or something along those lines and could save me time would be wonderful

Why Is My Internet Slow?
I have a problem with my internet speed. It was fine, then became slower and slower as time went on. I have done numerous virus scans with many top rated anti-virus soft ware. I tried malwarebytes and it found nothing. I tried changing my router setting. Then i tried ccleaner, and it seemed to have worked amazingly well. My internet was back and running like new, but then i went on to facebook and now my internet is slower than its ever been. Sometimes it wont even load the page. I'm sick of throwing money at this with no results. I've spent nearly $1000 on software that promises to "speed up your internet" only to be back at the same problem. Recently i received a phone call from someone with a thick accent that told me he found malware on my computer and that if i didn't pay $109 to his company my windows would stop working altogether. I have never given out my phone number at all! It's a private line! I don't know how this person got my number but to say the least i was mad and told him to stay out of my computer then i hung up. Sure enough the next mourning my laptop was not able to start up windows and i'm in the process of completely wiping it (including the partion witch was also corrupted) and installing windows from scratch. How can i prevent this from happening to my other computers? My laptop was running anti-virus software with a url scanner.

Why Is My Internet So Slow?
Im had 50mb virgin installed and at first it was quick but now realy slow. Browsing and downloading is pants. Had this prop before but thought it was isp being crap but now im starting to think its my laptop. If i try and download and browse its a nightmare. Was getting good download speeds for a day. Also things that may interfere, like would a stereo with radio interfere with the signal. Also for some reason my disk drive no longer shows up. Any help on that would be great too.
