Computer Crashed / Running Slow
Sep 28, 2007
I expected the whole thing to be shot considering what the case looked like. I ended replacing the case and basically rebuilding it to see what all didn't work. Well, it ended up booting up just fine! Thing is, for some reason it seems to be running very slow. It seemed too coincidental that RAM was suddenly getting chewed up, but I upgraded to 1G anyhow, as it really needed it. It's still very slow, and seems to get hung a lot. Upon doing almost anything, the CPU gets pinned at 100%. I ran a little CPU test utility, and it comes back that it is running at that right speed, but it shows CPU to memory transfer rate at 340M/sec., which seems really slow! I'm not sure where to go from here. Is it possible that the mobo is damaged but is still working, only slowly?

Last night after the computer was running really slow i decided to close a few processes! Being my usual, carefree self i managed to make the system go into one of those 60 seconds til shutdown. I opened cmd and aborted the shut down. I then saved what i was doing and shut it down. Turning it on this morning, all of the services are disabled and there is no option to re-enabe them, and everything seeems broken!

Lately my computer has been extremely slow, not just internet slow but onboard slow. For example, if I click on an application from the desktop it will sit there for 10-20 seconds before anything happens. Occasionally I'll click multiple times on something and nothing will happen then 30 seconds later it will open multiple instances of things. This delay has been happening with just about anything I click on, acting like the computer's busy doing something else when nothing else should be going on. I've looked in the task manager and the applications column will be blank

We run Comcast high speed, two computers running though a router setup. My son "opened a port" to speed up his game play. My computer now crawls. Pages take too long to load, and I now sometimes get the server error message here, server not responding. Any idea what I can do. My son seems baffled, but I know he doesn't want to sacrifice his warp speed game play.

Someone told me that my computer is running slow because I have too many programs running in the background. Could this be true and if so, how do I delete the unnecessary programs and more to the point, how do I recognize which programs are necessary and which are not?

Why is it taking my computer 3 minutes to boot to the desktop? As you can see from my signature below, I don't have exactly a slow poke machine. All drives are defragged weekly, the BIOS is set to boot off of the hard disk, and I only have the one OS installed.This thing use to boot to the desktop in 20 seconds.

I'm running XP, my laptop has just really slowed down. Norton runs a clean virus check and I run Cleanup from time to time. I probably do not have the latest version of hijack this or I would have posted that is with this thread. Any ideas where to start?

I am running Windows XP on a Quad core with 3 Gigs of RAM. I am a musician and use the computer for recirding and mixing. My computer was upgraded a mere 6 months ago and has not had performance issues.However, in the last month I have noticed it slowing down with the hard drive working very hard. Now things are even worse. I cannot load sound samples such as drums as the computer keeps claiming that it is out of memory.I have run adaware and Spybot for spyware. I have defragged, virus checked all to no avail. One thing I should mention is that my two data drives are very low in memory.

I have heaps of space on my hard drive, have defragged etc. Got windows XP and SP2. In system info it says I have about 30MB available memory out of 256MB. This doesn't change much if I disable start up stuff in msconfig. In task manager I have 29 processes running leaving 62144 available physical memory out of 196080. From other messages here this doesn't seem like too many processes running.

Ive been having troubles with my comp Programs are opening up slowly and generaly most thing are slow.The main thing that i notice is when trying to attached a item to a emil in outlook i will click insert/file/cdrive/this file/ that file, it takes somewhere between 1-2 min to open cdrive and each click.
Another thing that i noticed was that when i remove the usb keyboard and mouse 1-2 min later i will get the soud of being removed.I get alot of programs not responding but after a while they do, eg when shutting down a associated program with the printer almost allways pops up not resonding but does after a while.
