HJT for Speedy if possible.

**SP8's** · 16-08-2010, 11:11 AM

Something strange happening with my comp over the last week or so. Very slow to load (like 3 or 4 times what it usually takes) Primary HD (Maxtor 50gig) seems to be working overtime when not being asked to do anything like load programs etc.

I've used CClenaer, scanned with MSE, Malwarebytes, Spybot and done a defrag with defraggler. Defrag showed up some fragmented files associated with Google Earth but not much else.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kill indexing on the hdd/s

Whats the specs of the system?? Besides XP SP3?

Check and see if anything is running in PIO mode

**IanS** · 16-08-2010, 01:12 PM

I have had similar problems during the last week. It would take the computer from 5 to 15 minutes to get its act together, then it would work normally. I presume that the protection programs [Avast and Advanced System Care] had done their job. The trouble recurred next day, then I turned off System Restore and no further problems.
Computer: Sempron CPU 1.5Ghz
Ram 512
XP Home
BB over phone line

**Speedy Gonzales** · 16-08-2010, 02:22 PM

I would remove advanced system care, you don't need it

**SP8's** · 16-08-2010, 07:09 PM

Hi Speedy, the comp seems to have settled down a bit and loading faster than it was, but not as fast as it used to be. Just wondering whether it may be because of the 14 or so updates last week.

Comp specs are :-

Pentium 4 @ 2.4MHz
Gigabyte GA8SIML Mobo SIS650 on-board Graphics
1 GB DDR SDRAM
Drives Primary Maxtor 50GB Secondary 250GB Seagate

No thoroughbred ... but plods along to the finish line .... eventually

**Speedy Gonzales** · 16-08-2010, 07:55 PM

Hmm could be because its a SIS based mobo. I had one a few yrs ago. It was crap lol..Nearly everything it did took at least 30 secs.. it wasn't funny. In the end I biffed it

**SP8's** · 16-08-2010, 09:05 PM

It is getting on a bit Speedy ... looking at upgrading soon but not sure what to get yet. Don't do gaming, video editing or the like, so probably don't need anything off the "top shelf".

When the time comes, I'll be asking a few more questions on the forum !!

**Speedy Gonzales** · 16-08-2010, 09:19 PM

No probs. I've still got a P4 here in the bedroom same speed, same amt of ram, and same OS, 120 GB hdd, but an Intel chipset. Only reinstalled XP on it last night. Might replace it soon as well. With an MATX mobo
