PC slower after a format :<

Cooto3s · 07-19-2008, 06:42 PM

Well, I just formated my PC today, or w/e its called, and it's running slower than it did before.. Is this normal? does it run slower in the beginning? It's also making alot more sound then before.

Did you update all your drivers?

Cooto3s · 07-19-2008, 08:06 PM

Yeah, I did all that. installed SP1 too etc

Cooto3s · 07-19-2008, 08:20 PM

The reason why I formated is because I removed some important files from my computer which caused it to freeze every 10 mins and run slowly, can that be why its slower than usual?

Exactly how did you format it...Through DOS or recovery disk?

Did you install updated chipset drivers for your motherboard?

did u install the video card drivers n maybe try lower resolution. Sometimes it lags abit if video drivers arnt installed and resolution isnt lowered.

usually it should be much faster after reformatting, especially if you havent done it for a while (reformatted i mean, not the other meaning).
as others have said, if you havent installed your video drivers then often it can lag alot.
