I'm fairly sure this is *not* normal. Recently one of my computers has been responding very, very slowly. I've run Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Hijack This, and TrojanHunter. In addition to that, I've run SystemSuite All-in-One (disk checker, reg checker, defrag, virus scan) and I've come up with nothing*. I also ran MemTest86 for over 2 hours with no errors. (2x512MB DDR333 running @ DDR266.)
The CPU is an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (of the A variety) and isn't OC'd. For the life of me I can't figure out why it's running so dang slow!! I mean, it's where it should be in Sandra but programs are sluggish.
Any ideas? Also, if I run a Windows Repair Install through the XP CD, will I lose any data? I think I'll just need to update it but I'm better off askign first than goign Rambo. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I wasn't quite sure where I should turn.
*Sometimes when I run this, the computer will reboot itself. I was getting a really low 3.3V (while playing a game) and it made the Asus Probe software start beeping but I swapped out the PSU and I'm not doing anything to stress the system. The computer was sluggish for days before I got the warning beeps anyhow. I've run CHKDSK /f also...
P.S. I've been told errors have popped up at various times, although I don't know exactly what the operation was that was taking place.
