My computer's been really playing up lately. When the windows XP screen appears when loading Windows, it takes, up to 5 minutes sometimes before it has loaded to the desktop screen. Then it takes an ion to load everything else, and the computer is generally slow at everything.
I have nothing that is running in the background that is slowing it down, also I don't have many things in my startup tray. Also done virus check, spyware, etc Then defragged my harddrive. Also updated drivers etc... I think it could be a motherboard or CPU problem, but don't wanna upgrade until im sure. Can anybody tell me what the problem could be? Would really appreciate it ![]() Many thanks PSR |

System slowdowns can also be attributed to an overheating problem. Some free monitoring programs like SpeedFan can be a help in alerting you when temps are climbing or voltages are incorrect. http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php Have you updated the bios at all? |
