Well guys I recently had win 7 ult and liunx ubuntu 9.10 installed, dual booting with grub loader. Then I removed linux and did a fresh install of win 7 to the same drive. It was on with the same stuff that was installed and installed the same apps I had, but now the thing is that it runs fine for about an hour, then I get slow download speeds no matter were I download from. If I close an app like Windows Media Player, it will close, but the process will stay in task manager using about 45% cpu. It will not let me end this process, so I have to reboot. Then it just goes to the shut down screen and stays there for as long as it likes, until I hold the power button and restart it that way. Then it will be nice and smooth once again, but after an hour(?). So I ask if anyone can help me. Anything welcome, and I will try anything. Apart from a repair install (I have already done that two times), thanks.

Much better.

Ok, so it sounds like you just have a bad install. Try NOT a repair install, but another clean install. Format the drive first, then do a new install.

hey i just got back online after trying a new clean install, but sadly still the same what can it be ? all the hardware is the same still along with apps,files and drives.

It is evident that either it is a bad install, or an appl. is slowing down the system. You reinstalled and that did not solve the problem. Next time you have the problem check the event viewer see if there were any problems.

If you start off ok but then as time progresses you begin to slow down, something is using too much memory.

Try uninstalling your programs one at a time and try, if you still have the problem, uninstall the next program so on and so on. This may work.

Once you solve the problem, make a system image of the OS without any programs installed. A little more work now, but it will save you a lot of hassles if the problem returns in the future.

Good Luck

If you have done a clean install, have you also gone to Microsoft Update to pick up patches and drivers?

Each install I have done has found an updated or necessary driver for critical elements. In your situation, there may be a driver for your network card.

Let us know.

Seems that you are using an SCSI HDD...
Do you have a Sata or IDE one you can try?

~Lordbob

 

[F17ZY]

yes i have them all i have just uninstalled,my storage driver for ide hdd's now seems ok no slow down yet and i have over 30 firefox windows open, as that is the only app i have right now, i have both sata as my main drive with windows on, and ide as my date drive with my files on, and my network card it upto date from windows update.

Upon re-reading your observations, some further thoughts.

In Firefox, under Tools > Options > Tabs, there is a checkbox to warn you if opening more tabs will cause Firefox to slow down. Is that box checked?

Take a look at Task Manager > Performance to see how you're doing on CPU and memory utilization. If CPU utilization is high, check Processes to see what is grabbing cycles.

Is the power mangement on your system slowing the CPU because of overheating? If so, maybe a little vacuuming will help. Maybe someone forgot the thermal paste on the CPU-cooler interface.

hey sorry guys but i have fixed it now, it was down to having win xp drivers for my ata hdd it was not leting things work, as they should i have the drivers if any body wants them and it was notthing to do with heat or dust as my pc gets cleaned, every week and heat well if my 7 fans aint doing ther jobs then i don't think anything will lol, but thanks for the help.
