hey guys, havn't posted in a while but having a problem with my pc and not sure what it is. First, here's my specs:
1.Foxconn A74MX-K AM2+/AM2 AMD
2.AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor 3.0GHz
3.WINTEC AMPX 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
4.XFX HD-465X-ZDF2 Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0
5.Thermaltake Silent Purepower W0014RU 480W ATX12V(bought in 2004)
6.Western Digital 80 gig IDE hardrive(I'm sure it's older then dirt to)
7.Windows xp sp3
While back, turned my computer on and I noticed it was taking forever to do..well..anything. When ever i turn it on and makes it to the first windows screen it takes for ever for to get anywhere. Once it makes it to the Preparing to start Windows xp screen it sits and says it's loading FOREVER. Then it finally makes it to the main windows desktop and takes forever for anything to load as well. When i click to open any program or just to get on the internet it takes for ever and when it does there are often problems.
When i go on Youtube, or put in a movie or TRY(key word TRY) to play a game the games and the video or whatever has serious lags in WHATEVER I'm doing. My computer is just having problems doing anhyting that requires loading or something. While trying to watch a live feed of a church service or listen to a podcast it freezes and lags up. Basically my computer is having serious lag issues and Loading times.
I've run Different tests to see if i could find the problem. I ran memtest 86 and memory diagnostic and my memory checked good. I've ran prime95 and no problems came up after running the test for 24 hours. I ran Seatools for windows to check my hard drive but everything checked okay there. I unplugged my video card and hooked up my on-board video thinking maybe it was something with the video card which was why i was getting lagging in games and stuff, but still had the same problem with onboard video.
I havn't had any blue screens of death yet which is wierd considering all it's dong. Even though I ran Seatools to check my hard drive i still get the feeling that it's my hard drive because of all the bad loading times and stuff. I've checked for viruses and spyware but don't feel it's that due to the Game issues and other issues that don't use internet hook up.
Now, the only thing i can come up with is that a while back I noticed either my cpu temps or my mobo temps seem to have had an issue or something. I was playing a game and All of a sudden i heard my computer warning sound go off to warn me that my temps were getting into the 50's and shocked me. First of all, I don't overclock. I just have my mobo set to warn me if the temps get into the 50's and my computer shuts down when it get's 65. after that my computer for some unknown reason got hotter then normal when i played a few games or heavy stuff or just was hotter then normal in other uses. My normal CPU temps and mobo temps were usually 32- 34 degrees at idle. They started to stay more at 38 degrees. Now i know 38 degrees isn't hot by my point is that they were hotter then they normaly are and there wasnt anything i did to the computer to cause it to get warmer. Right now my system temp is 38 degrees and cpu temp is 34 degrees.
Now like i said I know those temps are fine but how they acted and the little spike they did have weren't normal. I don't know if that has anything to do with what is wrong with it now but never the less the random heat ups and warm temps still meant that something went wrong somewhere. I'm not sure what my other options are. I think it's the Hardrive but not sure. I need some advise from others out there on what you think and what i can do to deduce the problem further. Any help would be great appreciated.
