I am having a bunch of little things occurring with my computer and believe that there is a virus or two causing these problems.
It's tme to make another donation!
Could someone please help me clean up my system?
Computer is running a bit slow, and i was wondering if anybody could help me clean it up and maybe get rid of some registry entries or startup tasks that could be the problem. it takes a long time to load, and im sure that theres a lot of junk that doesnt need to open on startup and a lot of dead ends and run arounds in the registry, if anybody wants to help i'd appriciate it. maybe take a look at a hijackthis log?

How to fix my my computer along to speed it up - it's super slow! I've had this laptop for a while now and I realize it is significantly slower now than originally. I feel it is "clogged" it up with junk. I need to do something to bring it back to where it was when I got it. Right now, it takes a long time to start up, open folders (ie: my computer, my pictures, etc), and programs (esp firefox or explorer)

I have a eMachines T1840
Intel Celeron 1.8GHz
640 MB RAM
XP Home 2002 SP3
It has grown increasingly slower in response time (ie. IE "churns" for 20-30 seconds before opening). I suspect that I have a lot of garbage loaded at start and other processes running that I don't need. How can cleaning this up?
What are the early signs of a Motherboard going bad?
If it is the motherboard (Am I correct in assuming that I will need to shell out $200 or more for a full xp sp2 retail).
When the comp is first turned on, everything powers up as normal then it stops at the first boot screen prior to the memory test and powers off the monitor. The computer stays on but does nothing.
The system specs are as follows:
Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1
Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 (IE 6.0 SP1)
DirectX 4.09.00.0902 (DirectX 9.0b)
CPU Type AMD Athlon XP, 2000 MHz (15 x 133) 2400+
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-7VT600(-L)
Motherboard Chipset VIA VT8377 Apollo KT600
System Memory 512 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
BIOS Type Award Modular (07/03/03)
Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X (64 MB)
Monitor Benq FP547 [15" LCD] (1336662)
The problem is intermittent and sometimes the computer will randomly shut down.
I initially thought this was video card problem so I have swapped out the video card for a known good one with no success.
Next thing I thought was overheating, I checked the system temps in the bios after a good boot and noticed the CPU temp was on 90 degrees Celsius, I thought this was extremely hot so I cleaned the heat sink and fan and the temp has dropped to the figures below:
Motherboard 38 �C (100 �F)
CPU 73 �C (163 �F)
Aux 45 �C (113 �F)
Seagate ST380011A 43 �C (109 �F)
The CPU temp still seems hot, however the system will run for days without a problem then out of the blue fail to start.
I then suspected a power supply problem and still suspect that this may be the culprit.
Once the computer has failed to boot, it will not boot fully again until the PSU power lead has been removed briefly.
If I unplug the power cable momentarily the system boots fine on the next boot, which seems to indicate something is being reset when the power is shut off totally.
Voltage Values:
350w PSU
CPU Core 1.68 V
+3.3 V 3.25 V
+5 V 4.73 V
+12 V 12.80 V
+5 V Standby 4.89 V
DIMM VTT 1.33 V
I have also run sea-tools which has detected errors on the hard drive, but I believe the problem is occurring before the system checks the hard drive.
I am receiving no bios beep error codes.
I am leaning toward PSU replacement,
Sometimes my sound is ok , but somtimes my sound sounds really bad , even the normal "click" sound of opening a folder or closing a file sound like a broken spring , like a sound in slow motion twauonnnng and the music just very laggy and cant understand the lirics or even the music itself Now this is reflecting in the performance of my computer , its appears to in my games , suddenly the sounds of my steps or my sword swing or the shot of my gun , starts sounding as mentioned above in slow motion.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Toshiba Tecra M2V-S310 laptop PC with Windows XP. A week ago I inserted flash drive into my USB port to drag something from his drive. My laptop choked a bit, slowed down and I got an error sound, so I pulled the drive out immediately. A few days later, I started getting the random Blue Screen Of Death with the message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, at which point I am forced to restart. I see an Unknown Device in my Device Manager, and after doing some reading up online about this problem I see that it is sometimes caused by something to do with not fully installing new hardware, I assume this has a lot to do with the problem. As a temporary fix I always uninstall the Unknown Device every time the Blue Screen Of Death forces me to restart, which buys me an extra 45 minutes or so of laptop time, but every time I am eventually but inevitably forced to restart, I got back to the Device Manager and lo and behold the Unknown Device has returned, along with a prompt on my desktop to Install New Hardware.
I am not able to plug in the flash drive that supposedly started this problem to uninstall it properly, so that's not an option.Someone suggested I delete all the icons in my Universal Serial Bus section of Device Manager, so that the necessary ones would automatically reinstall themselves and the erroneous one wouldn't. Only problem is, everything reinstalled - the valid icons and the erroneous one as well. Back to square one. Someone else suggested that my USB port might be fried, and that the only recourse is to get a new one. If that's the case I'm willing and ready to get a new one, but I'd like to exhaust all other options before I go there,

As a temporary fix I always uninstall the Unknown Device every time the Blue Screen Of Death forces me to restart, which buys me an extra 45 minutes or so of laptop time, but every time I am eventually but inevitably forced to restart, I got back to the Device Manager and lo and behold the Unknown Device has returned, along with a prompt on my desktop to Install New Hardware.
I am not able to plug in the flash drive that supposedly started this problem to uninstall it properly, so that's not an option.Someone suggested I delete all the icons in my Universal Serial Bus section of Device Manager, so that the necessary ones would automatically reinstall themselves and the erroneous one wouldn't. Only problem is, everything reinstalled - the valid icons and the erroneous one as well. Back to square one. Someone else suggested that my USB port might be fried, and that the only recourse is to get a new one. If that's the case I'm willing and ready to get a new one, but I'd like to exhaust all other options before I go there,
Computer is running a lot slower these days which i suspect is because of some virus or other.
have used the various software to try cleaning it up but does not really help.
The thing is i am planning to buy a new pc and intend to give this one to a family member, so i want to clean all the crap from it. I have visited the odd porn site or two so really want to clean it properly
Is formatting the drive the best way to clean this up?
How do I clean up my HD to free up more space? Where do I look?

I moved a hd (with xp, programs, settings, etc) from my old pc to a new one that already has xp pro. This old hd is going to be used for archiving only,but it has a lot of files, xp os and settings that I want to get rid off.
How to accomplish it? Cleaning the whole stuff isn't the case as some files/programs will be kept as is.
I want to ask how I am suppose to blow the inside components of my pc using compressed air, because wouldn't the dust go in the pc even more when I blow it? How am I suppose to blow it out? Blow behind the dust so the air would
repel and blow it out?
Is this a good method for ESD precautions (without a gounding strap):
- Not working on a carpet
- Not wearing footwear
- Working on a wooden table
- Touch the back of the computer before opening it
- Touch the Metal Case of the Power Supply (inside) frequently while the
computer is open
- Not moving on the floor too much

I was wondering if it is safe to delete the system file in the Registry? or if something bad would happen?
I have several registry cleaning tools on my PC like registry mechanic,WinASO registry Optimizer and those included in my programs ASMW PC-Optimizer,Tune-up utilities and WinTools.net Professional.One thing I am puzzled is that all the registry cleaning tools have found certain problems when I run one after another.Once i completed my registry scan using all above tools and fix all problems,I can't understand why a number of registry problems still exist the next day.I did not carry out any important task other than just spend the most 1 hr of web surfing.
Recommend a more powerful registry cleaning tool to curb such problem.
