Hi,

For a few months now I've been having various problems with my computer and I'd appreciate it if someone could suggest how to fix them. Here are the main ones:

Computer is very slow to start up.
Once started clicking on items does nothing until I press Ctrl+Alt+Del and then cancel, then it works normally.
Computer frequently freezes, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes permanently so that a restart is necessary.
Computer occasionally restarts, especially if I'm burning a DVD.
Very few USB ports work; when I plug something into most of them nothing happens or I get a message saying the device is not recognized or has malfunctioned.
Device Manager reports an Unknown Device attached to a USB port, even when nothing is plugged in to any USB port.
The time in the corner of the screen is wrong when I first put my computer on in the morning, normally it says it's a couple of hours after a turned it off the night before.

Here are the components of my computer:
Processor - Intel Q8300 Core 2 Quad (2.50GHz/4M/1333/05A/Socket: 775)
Motherboard - ASUS P5N-E SLI
Graphics Card - nVidia GeForce 6500
Hard Drive 1 - 500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue
Hard Drive 2 - 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green
Hard Drive 3 - 2TB Seagate Barracuda
Optical Drive - Sony AD-7240S-0B 24x Internal DVDRWRAM SATA Black Bare
RAM - Kingston 2 x 2GB PC2-5300 DDR 667 240Pin; 2 x 2GB Unbranded
Floppy Drive - Alps Electric
Monitor - Proview MA-782K 700P
Router - Netgear DG834GT
PSU - Seasonic 500Watts

Here's what I've tried so far:
Running CHKDSK on C drive.
Running CHKDSK on D drive.
Removing each of my four sticks of RAM one at a time and restarting.
Disconnecting my E and G drives.
Virus scan with Microsoft Security Essentials.
Spyware scan with SUPERAntiSpyware.
Clean registry.
Clean up computer (with TuneUp Utilities)
Replacing CMOS battery.

All the scans came back clear and nothing helped the situation.

I did a scan with Hot CPU Tester Pro 4. Here are the results:

I would be very thankful of some assistance in correcting these problems.

Thank you,

It was hard to tell, but I tried resetting my BIOS and I'm now able to access all my hard drives. I had a couple of problems afterwards, but have sorted them out now, so everything's working correctly.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry it's been a while since I replied. I replaced the C drive but was still getting hangs and freezes, so I replaced the motherboard and CPU as well which stopped those problems, but the computer was still a little slow, so I reinstalled Windows 7.

The computer is working much better now, except that I can't get it to recognize my secondary hard drives which were my E (1TB WD Caviar Green) and F (2TB Seagate Barracuda) drives before. I've tried using a different power lead from my PSU and replacing the SATA cables, but I still can't get them to appear under My Computer or Disk Management.

Does anyone know how I can access them again?

Thanks,
Joe
