    My cpu is 64bit compatible and the other parts too. But i got vista 32bit in it. A week after i bought it win 7 came. And i do t have hope for that computer longer. I am using my new laptop and im also planning to build a real thing. And no i wont buy win 7 just to get the computer faster. I am only using it for a mknecraft server anyway. But lkke i said here i just whanted too se if there here a hardware problem. And one thing to mention. When i re installed vista and the computer where like new in software. When i went to youtube my hdd went crazy and worked like shit.. Thats was one of the reasons why i hated it. But thoos tips will be useful if my computer is going to be useful again. Like give it to my brother

    So you are not working on the machine in your specs. or are you?
    You asked for help and you may get suggestions you "know that isn't the problem". We see it a lot. Just for the hell of it try
    Some hardware tests to run.


    Hard drive(s):
    Pick one for your HDD brand or use Seatools.
    7 Free Hard Drive Testing Software Tools


    RAM (memory):
    This will require memtest on a bootable CD or USB stick.
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    This will show if theres problem with all of the parts or just the gpu? I am a bit carefull of overloading the gpu. And the gpu is almost new so if it dont recognize hdd and cpu and ram problems i dont think i have to do it? Maybe. If you think im to afraid. Go look on the gpu XD ENGT430 now with a ultra patetetic fan....

    Run the hard-drive tests, it is not stressing the hard-drive, but checking for any errors and bad sectors.

    Run some hard-drive diagnostics and follow these steps:

    Find your hard-drive manufacturer and run their tests.

    Additional Tests:

    • SSD firmware
    • BIOS Version
    • Chipset Drivers
    • Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
    • If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.
    Check for any file system errors and bad sectors using Option #2 of:

    Use this command with Disk Check:
