if it ran like this when you got it its all prob normal O>o deleteing programs might speed it up but not to much i use that EZ anti virys program it works so its not that hmm i donno lol what exactly do you mean a bit slow? whats it doin? i have a athlon xp3000 and it runs great <sep for the memory error i think caused by sp2!>
well what I can tell you is that it runs slower than my old pc.Which was an Athlon 800mhz system with less memory. You know programs are slow to load, running more that one aplication causes things to slow down more. Is seems like I could do more with my old system. Now just for comparison sake.... my buddy has a P4 2.5ghz, with 512mhz and his runs so much smoother than mine? Is there anyway to test the speed of your system? I can try to test mine a compare it to my freinds system and maybe narrow down my options....
I tthink I nix the slow PC issue... Beleive it or not my DVD-ROM was acting up so I replaced it. Once I did that the systems seems to run alot better. But I have one more question for you guys... Sometimes when I power on my computer it just hangs before anything boots. I can here the fan kick in but it just sits there. I usually have to disconnect the power cable from the power supply and wait a few seconds, reconnect and then I am fine. I have 250wt (Compaq part# 5187-1098,14A @ 12V) power supply which came with the system. Could it be my problem? I checked the watts needed on one of those configurator websites and it says that I need 270wt minimum(add 30wts = 300wts). Do you feel this is a serious issue?
EASY MONEY PPL GO TO: *No credit card or any payments required* Really easy, all you do is sign up and enter where you want them to send your check. -Next, log in and go to the "earn money" tab. Click where it says "Click here to start the Surf Junky Browser". -Your web browser window will pop up and rotate ads. -Leave it on overnight or something, and you make money for all the time you leave it on. -It's 45 cents per hour if you just leave it alone and dont sign up for anything, but it adds up if you just leave it running whenever you aren't at your computer. Ive already gotten 2 checks from them, they send out a check every month, as long as you have made 25 dollars.
What the heck is this supposed to mean? Hey if there is a MOD out there check the prior post? I need real help so anyone with knoledge on power supplies please jump in!!
I'm no pc guru but personally I would never have less than a 350 watt ps especially if you have more than one dvd/cd drive or hdd. 400 or 450 watt would be even better. For some of the best prices anywhere look here. http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=58 Mort
I kinda figure that. The thing is the computer is in a Micro ATX case, which only Micro ATX power supplies fit into. All the MATX power supplies I have seen don't go any higher than 350 wt. I am leaning towards buying a new case (ATX) but I have never really swaped an entire system before... Would any one know of any ATX power supplies that are small enough to fit in a MATX??
