Still having problems with Windows 7 running slow almost new computer.
The other night my computer locked up then restarted for no reason and when it restarted I got a boot manger is missing error so I put the Windows DVD in to run a clean install I was able it get to the expanding files and about 5 to 10 minutes at 0% I got this error
Install Windows
Windows cannot install required files. The file maybe corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation
Error Code: 0x80070017
I tried to install windows 6 times and I got this error the first 5 times and the sixth time Windows 7 loaded. I find Windows is running slow at random times and I still get random lockups. I tried running Windows XP and had no problems same with Windows Vista. Firefox takes about 20 to 30 seconds to load my home page that's 1 example of the slow speeds. I found out that when my computer is running slow the CPU is close to being maxed out but there is nothing running in the background that is maxing the CPU out. Also the Memory does the same thing at random. Something is maxing out the CPU and using about 70 to 80% of the memory but there is nothing running in the background doing this. I have a clean install with all the updates.
I had my computer in the shop to have a hardware Diagnostic done and was told there's nothing wrong. All I was told is the CPU should not be maxing out like it is and the memory shouldn't be used up like it is. Any help you can give me would be a big help thanks.
