Hi,
My specs: PIV 2.66Ghz, 768mB Ram, 120Gig HD Seagate, GeForce 4200
MSI mobo, SiS-chipset
Running: Windows XP Professional
Everything ran smoothly, but last week something changed.
It takes longer to boot (screen where the little bar is running and the
MSlogo is showing), after that I get a blue screen (not BSOD, just the
background blue ), after a couple of secs i get my login dialog. This has
never ran so slowly.
Finally logged in, everything looks normal.But when i start any application,
it takes up to 80% CPU while starting, then dropping back to a normal level.
When I'm playing music, the music start stuttering even when opening an
application like notepad. After the app has started, everything goes back to
normal. While writing a cd, Nero stays at a high (tho not impossible highÃ
level.
I know i've had this problem on another pc of mine and i fixed it by getting
the latest chipset drivers. On this pc the latest chipset (AGP, IDE) or
installed, the latest videodrivers (NVidia), I ran some adawarescans, ran an
antivirusscan, all without any result. I defragmented the disk, no result. I
checked my memory (with mem86), passed without anyremarks. I check my cpu and
mobo temperature, all normal (30-50°C).
It all occured after installing MSOffice2003 and doing the latest batch of
updates.
But I uinstalled both Office2003 and the latest updates, again without result.
There's no systemrestore i can go back to.
So i'm out of inspiaration now, anyone can suggest something else to try?
Thx in advance
Kindest regards.
