simsim · 03-06-2007, 07:06 PM

Hi just looking for somone to help me out im having problems with my pc after a hour or so it begins to slow down or freeze i have no viruses or spyware and i have even rebooted it from scratch and still having this problem so i guess its a hardware problem but will it be the Ram? or motherboard? or what? could somone help me out please.

it souldent be going wrong in memory or speed because i have 2gb Ram and 3.4ghz processor so is something damaged?

i cant even run a antivirus without it crashing.

it is most likely a virus/trojan issue... go ahead and look at this security sticky thread and post a log: Essential Read!!!!

If you play games, load one up and see if the becomes slow much quicker. My guess is that since you have a 3.4Ghz processor (most likely a Pentium 4-based one), that it is overheating.

i have done a virus scan so i dont think it is that its a phillips Ls1500 if that helps but i dont think its spyware or a virus when i press control alt and delete and have a look at the process that are running the cpu is maxed out somtimes and im only running media player and somtimes when i boot up it. does a memory test so theres somthing wrong?

simsim · 03-06-2007, 07:53 PM

is it more of a overheating issue rather than a hardware problem? The pc is quite new 5 months i have had it some times it will be fine for 5 hours or so and then another time it would start going slow after 10mins really dont want to send it to the shop and charging me alot of money for a simple problem or the risk of loosing my data.

If overheating is the problem, you could (if you have enough expertise,) buy a new CPU cooler and install it yourself. If not or take it to a shop and tell them it's overheating and to install a new bigger better CPU cooler.
