hey im new to these forums, im just wondering if someone can help me out. ive searched around the internet about the solution to my problem except im not sure what it is.
My problem is ever since i moved my computer it seems to be going very very slowly. I have an Intel Celeron 2.8ghz (yes i know crappy) with 768mb of ram and Windows XP SP2 Pro installed. I had to de-dust my computers guts basicly as it was full of dust, now i did this all carefully and i have broken anything. The whole problem started about 3 days ago when i was playing this game and my computer just turned of suddenly, no shutdown message kinda like if u pull the power plug. So i started it back up again and after the tab screen ( mobo bios screen ) it shutdown again. so i powered it up once more and once again it did the same thing. so i left the computer for about 10 minutes to see if that helped, so basicly after the 10 mintues i turned it back on and it all booted well. i went into the device manager to make sure it was all there and it was, nothign was fried . anyhow i went on to install this music program when i noticed a major lag in my system. i checked all the programs running and it was usual, nothign chewing up to much ram or cpu but i dont know what the problem is. now everything i do my whole computer comes to a freeze. so i reinstalled windows after backing up thinking maybe it was my windows that was corrupt. windows took longer than average to install, bout 45 mins or so. after that i thought it fixed it, but then it came back.
i seriously dont know what is causing the lag, either ive nearly killed my graphics card ( ATI Radeon 9250 Pro 128mb ) nothing flash but yeah. ( i also checked the minimum requirements for the game and im surely above it ) i dont know what else it is, and also if i play ne games i get real choppy performance which i never used to get, thats whats giving me the impression its my graphics card. im not sure of this so hopefully someone nice here can help me out as this is very frustrating.
Thanks,
Regards
Jeremy
