Various performance drops

[patrickmorris]

I have an ATI card which gets the grey screen of death fair enough that crashes my computer when ever i play a game or leave my computer idle or basicly do anything else,so thanks to a ****ing lazy bunch of ****s over at ATI who've known about this problem for 3 months and no fix as of yet.

Performance goes -
-good
-crashing becuase of ati card
-various blue screens (made another thread,with no solution)

now,i've reformatted last week,computer getting worse by the 'crash
now im getting crashes which windows says are performance crashes

-Bootmgr image is corrupt,system cannot boot

-"The file is possibly corrupt,the file header checksum does not match the computer ed checksum"

-Windows failed to load becuase of a critical system driver is missing or corrupt

-Stop c00000221 unknown hard error, \systemRoot\system32\ntdll.dll

-many,many differnt blue screen codes.

So...pretty much on the verge of ****ing this peice of shit out the window,as ive no money becuase i work from home on computer.

Patrick,
Well lad, with all of the problems you've described, then my recommendatation is: Clean Install.

If immediately after the clean install everything is working, then run Windows 7's Backup and Restore to perform a System Image backup and also after that, go back there and make yourself a System Repair CD.

Now create a System Restore point an create a System Restore point BEFORE each and every piece of software or hardware you add to your system. This a lots of work but at least then you will be able to get back to a stable point.

To create a System Restore point:
WIN + Pause/Break combination of keys
Choose System Protection in the left-hand task pane.
Click on the Create button

WIN is that key with the funny looking wavy flag on it.

Patrick,
That's your call. I consider Win7 to be the best OS that MS has ever produced.

And to be honest, If I was a betting man I'd give a 100 to 1 odds that we have a case of operator malfunction.

I'd take your word on it,as you can imagine me not being able to make any more money im just running out of choices..

Whats operator malfunction ?

Sounds like a hard drive with problems to me ever issue you listed could be from Hard disk getting bad clusters. Run check disk and report the results.

open up your case and re-seat memory then try again.

Next remove 1 stick at a time to isolate the bad stick. Buy new.

How can i tell if a sticks bad tho,just i've 3 at the moment leave 2 in if it crashes still try another arrangement of the sticks i.e take out one put another in

 

[Lens Pirate]

Yeah you need to isolate which stick is the bad one. or worse it could be a bad slot in the system board.

If it has memory errors and its a new PC consider making the Company you bought it from deal with it.
