Unknown new installed program change my laptop performance
Hi all..
This is my 2nd post in here. Before i start, pardon me for my poor English and non-high tech brain.
I really need help. Ok, this going to be a long post. But let me inform of my laptop first, my laptop is Compaq Presario CQ40-538TU, 32 bit, using Windows 7 Ultimate. I'm a heavy laptop user. i use it around 6-7 hours in workdays, and it could reach to 24 hours non-stop in weekend, sometimes even to 1,5 days (36 hours) to 48 hours in weekend. i mostly use my laptop to browse some websites i visit often and to watched movies/dramas i downloaded.
Few days ago (on July 22nd) when i started my laptop i got this message :
"Checking file system on C: The type of the file system is NTFS. One of your disk needs to be checked for consistency. You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue. To skip disk checking, press any key within(10)seconds."
it happened before,and usually it completed the checking to all the 3 stages. but now it shows this :
"Cannot open volume for direct access. Autochk cannot run due to an error caused by a recently installed software package. Use the system restore feature from the control panel to restore the system to a point prior to the recent software package installation.
An unspecified error occured (766f6c756d652e63 3f1)"
The problem is, i didnt remember what new software in installed, as i'm not high tech savvy, i never installed software that i'm not really sure if it save to install. i usually look for the software information from google before i downloaded n always from it's official page. But this time, as far as i rememmber i just updating some plug in softwares which were Java, Adobe Reader and flash player (i confirmed it by checked Program and Features). The error message suggested to do System Restore. And System Restore did mention the System restore Point was on Jul 22nd. But here's my next problem is. I cant do System Restore as it said "Windows has detected file system corruption on Local disk (C). You must check the disk for errors before it can be restored"
it asked me if i want to check my disk the next time i start my computer. i click yes and turn off my laptop. when i turn it on, it did the "Checking file system on C:", but the problem is, the same message shown that told me it cant run the chkdsk and told me to do system restore (which i cant coz i need to check my disk). So basically, it just ping pong-ed me back and forth with no solution as i cant even do both, check the disk or did the system restore. I run fsutil dirty query C: and the result is Volume - C: is dirty. I cant run all the checkdisk command (chkntfs /c C: or chkdsk /f /r C or chkdsk /r)
But a day after (July 23rd), the "Checking file system on C:" never show up again. But even until now, i still cant check my disk nor do System Restore. And this become the beginning of so many of my computer performance problems.
As i can access my files in drive C and D just fine. i thought everything would be ok. But the i notice changes that happened one by one and it happened almost each day.
1. First, i think it was on July 23rd, i've just realised that suddenly NoScript block so many websites i often visit. I got so many "Script partially blocked" that i've never seen before.
2. Then around 3 days ago, i uninstalled some programs (Eset, Hero DVD player -> my cd rom seems to be broken since it cant read any CD i inserted, Blue Screen View and AVS player, tried to uninstalled Nero9, but it keep cant be uninstalled), and a day after that, my built in (Altec Lansing) speakers suddenly broken, as in the sound-broken. The sound came from the speakers now isnt as clear as before. It sounds like it came from a low quality speakers. I always set my speakers in level 37.
3. Yesterday i just realised that i have Missing Base System which turned out it was driver JMB38X Card Reader for Memory Cards. As far as i remember i have used a memory card reader before several times to move files from my Cellphone memory card to this laptop. So kinda not really sure if i didnt have this driver from the beginning or it was missing suddenly, and
4. just now when i connected my battery, i realise that when i turn my laptop, the battery percentage was on 51% and suddenly drop to critical percentage in just around 15 minutes (and i was just open mozilla to check emails). When i plug in the charger, in 5 minutes, it come up to 48%. I disconnect the charger, and just used the battery, the percentage went down 1% each minute or so, and when it reached 28% suddenly it drop to 11% and told me to charge my battery. I shut down my laptop, take off the battery and put it back again and turn on my laptop. It back showing 41%. i used it until it reached 26% and suddenly it went up by itself to 34%, and when it reached to 23%, suddenly it told me to charged it coz the percentage its in critical stage (11%). Right now i'm charging it, and as before, in less than 15 minutes, it reached 50% and it didnt show the battery bar being charged (the bar just didnt go up and down to show it charging), it just shown the plug in icon, but when i check it, it does says it charging n showing the percentage. and in less than an hour (around 40 minutes i think), it charged to 100%. Just now i use just the battery and in 22 minutes while i just typing and edit this post, it went down from 100% to 76% (almost 1% for 1 minute). I didnt open any program, just typing this post. I mostly use my laptop with it connected to the power electricity. Just occasionally i use my battery (maybe around 4-5 times a month). And before this system problems happened, my battery was just fine and never shown anything like this. I still can use my battery for around 1,5-2,5 hours before it told me to charged it (it would be faster when i used it for watching movies/dramas i downloaded).
So, my question is, what should i do? does this problems really as result of the disk errors? or just a simple explanation as the speakers broken because its time to change to new one (i use my laptop for 5 years and it still worked very well before and never even have any problem until now)? that the battery simply just need to be change to new one? and NoScript blockings happened because i havent updated Mozilla to its latest version (i'm afraid to update anything at the moment). Can this problem fix? or should i buy a new one?
Please help, and pardon for a very long post.
