Hi, i did build my pc long time ago, (about 8 or 9 months ago, shortly after the core 2 dou's were released), and now all of a sudden a week or so i have begun to get weird things to happen, first off, i noticed that when I do turn the pc on(sometimes it happens sometimes it does not) the windows loads but not all the way(if i can say that) that is parts of the tray icons load up, and then notheing alse, and i cant click on the start menue, so basically the pc freesez at a certain pont in loading windows
second off, when i exit my internet browser (which is the msn one, and now it happens all the time lately) I see that it closed and the icon in the tray bar vanishes, but in the task manager msn.exe is still running, and i cant exit the messenger till i manually terminate the msn.exe
thirdly I had trillian installed which now also just stoped working, i reinstalled it but its the same result, as soon as i click on it it shows that litle icon in the tra, but the trillian.exe (when checkied in the task manager) just closes on itselfe about 1 or 2 seconds after i click on the icon to run it
another weird thing is that I noticed that a game :Medieval 2 just begun to run very very slugishly on me, everytime i run it, this happened overnight(i played the game in the ev ening, and next day in the morning i was unable to play it, because of the lagg), even the main menue, and the intro movies are choppy as heck, the weir thing is i can play other games such as titan quest, bf2 flatout 2 demo , and such without anny issues, or lagg, i just fdont get it
I think all these problems are related with one another, since it seems they all sstarted relatively in the same time(the booting issue actually came up first about a week before the medeival problem, after which i noticed the trillian, and later (couple days) the msn issue
I defragmented all drives, run norton's disk doctor, as well as nortons windoctor, the disk doc didnt find any errors, and i fixed many with windoc, but all issues still persist I have never seen such a thing happen
What might be the issue? the ram, the hd? the motherboard? Is the system becoming unstable?
Thank You for any thoughts on the issue, much obliged
