Continued BSOD, Computer Running Very Slowly
Nov 5, 2008
I bought my dell M4300 only in July of this year off the internet!Since then i have had approx 20 BSOD, i have installed off the internet normal registry checks and i seemed to be on top of things. This is a little over my head though!Last week after a BSOD my computer started to run incrediably slowly. On loading, turning off, opening progs and even simple comands. Sometimes it runs smoother (like now) but that it worse case which is approx 80% of the time.Also sometimes on starting up it opens to a blank desktop with no icons or task bar so i have to restart.

I'm not sure what's wrong. When I use the internet, the pages take a really long time to load. I can't watch videos without it buffering every 15 seconds. This started a couple of days ago after I downloaded spybot search and destroy. I used it on my computer for the first time and I guess it messed something up with my configurations?I also keep getting a popup that says "Connect SVCamera" while I'm trying to access different sites.

My computer is running very slowly, and I cannot figure out why. I defragmented, ran a virus scan, etc. I also use adaware and spybot regularly to check for spyware. Nothing seems to help. I am confused because this computer has run well up until recently. It is older we purchased it in about 2002-2003.In case this is important--it is a Dell and I'm running Windows XP.

My computer has been running very slowly lately. I have 67 free gigs of space, so I wouldn't think that's the problem. It's slow in the following ways:programs seem to lag pretty badly when I have more than one open. Sometimes even when I only have one open. Could this be due to my computer's amount of RAM

OK, my computer has been running very slowly over the last couple of years. I took it to someone to fix but the computer is still running rather slowly. I'm not sure if there is a virus, or if any programs that are installed on it are conflicting.

slow internet connection coupled with this "freedom hidden window" not responding message appearing - whether the two are connected I don't know

My laptop has just decided to run very slowly of late.So much so that I am unable to run certain programs. Some will load up but if you try and navigate through any screens etc the program will stop working (comes up with not responding in windows task manager).This is even happening with windows explorer.I've got Norton 360, which although it should automatically boot up at start up is failing to do so.I can't even get it to run to perfom a system scan.This leads me to think I may have a nasty virus or worse still failing hardware

My computer has been working slowly lately, as well as programs becoming so slow they are non-functional watching movies halfway through. This has never happened before. My OS is XP. I have run a virus scan (McAffee), as well as Ad Aware 6, trying to fix the problem, but it has not gone away.

Running Windows XP. When starting up it takes about 20 minutes before I can use the computer - everything is like swimming through treacle. There is a lot of activity noise from 'the box'. When this has finished whirring away the computer is OK to use.

Recently I have noticed that my PC has been loading things really slowly. When I start my computer, there is a black screen with a loading bar at the bottom, which takes atleast five minutes to load. When I launch a game, it takes ages for it to start up and it also takes ages to join a server. I tried reformating, but it didn't help. When I was installing one of my games, I found that it took about 10 times as long to install. And while it was installing, I couldn't do anything else because it slowed everything down. It's like my RAM has been lowered or something. I am guessing it may be a hardware problem.

Recently my computer has been freezing and moving very slowly, my pc fan runs for an unusually long time, a lot more then it used to, and i get a black screen before my administration sign in page to log into the desktop, and then, the desktop takes another 2 minutes to fully load. I've tried uniblue registrybooster 2 and that didnt really help much even though it seemed to "fix" 630 errors i had on my computer. i posted a hijack log a week or so back and never got any replies or help so i tried to take matters into my own hand and now i seem to have made it worse.

have just installed sp2 and things are running slowly. one of the main problems is that when i try to open "my computer" i get the flashlight and it takes a few minute to open. i have looked thru ms knowledge articles relating to sp2 but nothing fits the bill.

Ignore the siggie info; the problem is on a separate computer, a Compax laptop. There is 256MB physical memory and 2GB virtual memory. The C: disk has heaps of room on it.
It has Avast AV, Spybot, Adaware and Spyware Blaster and uses the XP firewall. All are up to date and all come up clean when checked. I do a monthly defrag and have Easy Cleaner and empty unnecessary files and surplus registry entries monthly. Despite all this it seems to run abnormally slowly, particularly when bringing up onboard stuff like OE, IE and other programs. Downloading internet sites seem pretty reasonable.

I have found that i am frequently running into BSOD.I have been trying to use windb to determine the cause of the problems and while i'm pretty sure there is a driver somewhere that is at fault i have no idea how to determine which one. In the last month and a bit i have updated every driver i could think of, but the BSOD keep occuring.i have run memtest 86 for 24hrs without any problem being detected, but i've heard that some problems can be missed so i havent ruled out a faulty memory stick.I have attached a copy of the crash dumps generated by the BSOD and i am wondering if it was possible for someone to have a look and see if there is anything obvious that may be causing the problem. there are 41 mini dumps ranging from september last year until 8.30 pm tonight.

Noticing that a few PCs are getting down to 1 GB empty space on the drive, I need to find space. I have removed all programs that we don't need for classes, but there seems to still be too much space taken up somewhere.I found huge files named "hiberfil.sys" and "pagefile.sys" on two machines. By disengaging hibernation (thanks to archived posts) I gain lots of space on one machine (both aforementioned files disappeared), however the "pagefile" file remained on the other machine.Can I delete this file another way? Also, are there any other space-robbing files that I can look for?

Computer boots to blue screen after showing Windows splash screen and then immediately restarts. Windows Stop code 0X0000007E (0X80000003, 0X805C370C, 0XBACCB2B4, 0XBACCAFB0). Computer will not boot in safe mode or last known good configuration. I have decided that I will need to reload windows but have several very important files on hard drive that I need to get off first. As it stands, I have 2.5" drive loaded into external hard drive enclosure. Only problem is that 2.5" drive has drive letter of C: like every other computer I have in my house. Is there anyway to change this letter to view files via usb enclosure? Any way to change drive path of C: volume on any other computer?

I have Windows XP and SP2 installed on a computer. I didn't use it for a couple of months. Today, I turned it on, the Windows started to load (3 blue dots made about 20 runs), but after that the screen went dark, while Windows continued to load (I could hear all the sounds associated with starting different programs). Moreover, when I started Windows in a Safe mode, the screen was fine and I was able to use computer. The same monitor I used with another computer and it worked fine, too. May someone please tell me what could be wrong? Keep in mind, when screen goes dark, the Windows continue to load and works. I just cannot see it. So, I presume, the computer is OK. The monitor is OK too: it works in the Safe mode and with another computer. Why this monitor became incompatible with this computer? They worked fine before.

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?

The subject thread refers to the pop-up advisory during Start-Up:Windows-No Disk There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive.[Cancel] [Try Again][Continue]This infection affects one or more of a legion of Start-Up programs currently burdening Windows-XP causing an annoying distraction. It does not appear in Safe Mode boot and subsequent Start-Up. I have appended a Logfile from a System Scan produced by HijackThis. Advice your experts offer will, I am sure, aid in keeping me out of trouble while rummaging in the Registry.

where do i start.I don't know if this is a virus or hardware/software issues or what, but when i start up my computer, it works for a varied length of time, before i get a BSoD(i will post the error when i get the comp to turn on). When i try to restart, it will either freeze at a random point or i will get a message saying to insert proper boot disk and restart the computer. This continues to happen unless i wait about half an hour before turning it on. but of course when it boots up, the cycle continues. I'll post a dxdiag and error messages/ screenshots when i get it to turn on again

A few weeks ago I decided to try messing around with the RAM. I took out the last stick and the computer, yet again, seemed to work perfectly… for a week at least (enough time for me to assume it was fixed). The problems persisted. Note that by now not only did I have bsod problems but simple problems like browsers not being able to open, programs crashing at a very high rate,windows unable to shut down, etc. (these reasons made me decide to start experimenting with the RAM) After RAM stick #4 did not work, I started switching out ram (to no avail) And just yesterday I took them all out and put only two in, so I am running 2 gigs memory
Last night, my computer seemed to run fine, I got my hopes up yet again. This morning my comp bsod’d. After waiting an hour, I turned my computer back on and now I have a constant “Microsoft windows, the system has recovered from a serious error” error report sending thing, which no matter how many times I click don’t send or send it will pop up again. I have moved it to the corner of my screen to write this. I believe I may have had this problem before and just restarted to fix it, but I am not sure.

For the past week my computer has been locking up at random times, now I am pretty dang sure I know the general cause, which would be my own fault -.- I just moved to a new place, long story short, mixed up my surge protector with my standard power bar, rolling power outage hit, turned my computer back on and wham, it randomly locks up...I restored it back to about a week ago, and it seems to work fine (sans a few random freezes upon booting up) Of all the times it has frozen, it only gave me one BSOD

Ive been getting a Windows XP Pro BSOD with the following technical information:
STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF495FED The computer resets before any more information is displayed.This error has been occurring for a few months, but it occurs occasionally, i usually just let the comp reboot and choose "Start Windows Normally" and it will boot fine. However, today i did that over 10 times and it kept giving me the bsod. Then i gave up, but tried again after 15 mins or so, it booted up.I only started getting the error after i replaced my comp's PSU (the old one died - i tested the old one on another comp) a few months ago. At the same time I decided to replace my graphics card (Leadtek Winfast A6600GT TDH replacing a Radeon 9200SE), and install a new sound card (SB Audigy 2 Value) and new hdd (Western Digital SATA 200G

I got a Blue screen of death error code - 0x0000000F4 (0x00000003, 0x82D9FDA0, 0x82D9FF14, 0x805Fa7A8) which states that a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated. I can't reboot after the BSOD as the laptop will just freeze at the windows diskc check area. How do i find out what process was terminated?Furthermore i tried using my laptops recovery disc but the system won't let me run the program.
