My Computer Is So Annoying

938 Views 11 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  rude
Its a brilliant spec computer, but it becomes so annoying sometimes... When I load it for the first time that day, it firstly takes a century to start up, then when I try to move the mouse it moved very jagged, it will stop then start again etc. And programs take forever to load. Then I reset the computer and everything works great, and I can keep on resetting it for the rest of the day and it will be fine, but the next day it will do the same. Also, sometimes when the computer is running normally all of a sudden the screen will go black and I will have to restart, loosing all of my work from the last save point (this has only started haoppening recently, and ive got a feeling its because I updated my Videos cards driver to the latest version, my video card is an ATI Hercules Radeon 3D Prophet 9700.

Pkease help, this is annoying the hell out of me!

First thing I would try is a virus scan, then run your spyware removal programme. If everything is ok and your running xp try a system restore to an time when you new your pc was running ok.


good luck
How about checking your video card settings, go to start>run>then type "dxdiag" without the quotes, then go to the display tab and run the tests.
may help.
Also if you can reduce the number of programmes you have starting up when you boot the pc. Strart>run>then type msconfig>go to the startup tag and uncheck all unecessary programmes, I only have 2 items active, antivirus and firewall.

may help.
