View 6 Replies View RelatedCould someone please take a look at my HJT log. My CPU went up to 100% about ten minutes ago and hasn't dropped since. I didn't see any odd processes and I just restarted and it just jumped right back up to 100.
View 14 Replies View Relatedmy computer has been running abnormally slow, and I don't mean 5-10 seconds for a program to load, more minutes. Once, it took, from turning the computer on, to arriving on desktop a total of 12 minutes, that was without half the stuff even loading by then!
The slow speed usually occurs when rebooting, I left my computer on for serveral days and eventually it worked good as ever.
I'm not sure if it matters, but soon before loading the desktop, there's a weird grinding type noise coming from the computer, this lasts for about 5-6 seconds, and happens several times.
computer is running extremely slow during all aplications. takes a long time load settings or open any program.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently got my computer back from the computer fixing guy (because I killed the master boot record and I had no idea how to fix it) and it's a lot slower than it was before. It was a clean install of XP, and the only difference I can see is that the computer magician installed PC-cillin on it. It's not any specific program that's slow now either. Firefox, IE, Unreal Tournament, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Civilization 4, all the stuff I usually use is equally slow

View 1 Replies View Relatedit takes forever to do anything. It's like it can only do one thing at a time its so slow. When I turn it on and log into my profile, it takes about 5 mins for it to load the desktop and about another 5 mins to load the antivirus software (Norton Security Suite 2010). The same goes for everything I do on this computer, it takes a while for the internet browser (IE 8 and FireFox), opening any program on this computer takes a while to load up. I have run Norton and it doesn't come up with anything. I have done a system restore a couple of times but it doesn't seem to help any

View 14 Replies View RelatedMy girlfriend's computer is extremely slow, and I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions. She has a Dell Dimension 2350, (I believe) with a celeron processor. It's not that old (maybe 4-5 years old?).
I am always running her ad-aware and spybot. I just updated her Norton Anti Virus and ran that last night. At this point, I'm not thinking it's any spyware or viruses since they've all been deleted and cleaned out. She used to have spyware, and a lot. Does anyone think that even though it's been cleaned out, perhaps some kind of "permanent" damage has been done to her registry as a result of the spyware I deleted from her computer several months ago?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running a 3 year old version of XP pro and it has gotten progressively slower booting up. Seems like about two to three minutes or so ( I should time it). I've run msconfig and there doesn't seem to be anything too obvious and I don't want to screw with things I'm not sure of as well. Also, when launching Outlook Express ,any browser and Word are really slow also. Excel is fine. Seems really odd. I've run antivirus, antispyware, defrag all to no avail
View 9 Replies View RelatedExtremely slow when installed XP. It also lists many boxes across the top in the blue part instead of listing the site, place and Windows Internet Explorer. It also lists boxes in the tabs at the bottom and before anything pops up after you click on a site in Explorer it says About Blank in the tabs. Is this because the RAM in his computer doesn't support this version of Windows?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron 4150 running Windiws XP Home Edition.
I ripped some music off of some CDs. Approximately 10 albums I think. Everything worked fine. I closed the laptop screen (did not shut down the computer). When I tried to login yesterday, the process was ''extremely slow''. It takes normal time to get to the login screen upon boot-up but then its like a freeze. I can move the mouse but the rest of the process is taking way too long. I noticed the hard drive light continously lit and some kind of noise coming like something is going on. I tried starting the computer in safe mode and it works
I've got a P III that is crawling from window to window. It was very fragmented and had some viruses. I have since defraged and run the latest spybot to clear everything but the system is still very slow. Does anyone know of any free tools that could run diagnostics and maybe point me in the right direction to catch some speed ?
