Well This Isnt Good

[AndrewBarker]

I'm thinking there may be nothing wrong, resource wise

certain programs do use all the available spare CPU when they are running, such as scanning your computer and playing complex games, but it does not necessarily mean your computer is struggling

edit:just to add, "System Idle Process" is basically spare CPU that isn't being used

download nortons system works (i think thats what its called) and use that...

it will fix heaps of problems

isnt system works a virus scanner, those are the biggers resource hogs on low power computers

it mad my comp so slow.

what will it do?

and is their a hardwarefix for this, like more ram or a new vid card. i cant make my processer and faster cuse it will just go up 2 933 and thats awaste of money.

would 512 mb of ram make it any better?

am I right in thinking that one game crashes occasionally, and everything else works fine

he wont reply for at least 6-8 hours...

hes gone to sleep

ahh, im up. my download of norton system works 2004 pro is complete and im burning the bin file as we speak.

bf1942 is the only thing that crashes, when i minimize it is taking 98-100 percent of cpu, which shouldnt bee happening. but stuff like winamp takes 50 percent of cpu to load. stuff like that, programs taking way more thann they need.

couple questions, whats system works gonna do? i dont think iv ever used it b4.

and will more ram fix this? cause ram is cheap and ill go out next week and buy some if it will fixcx the problem.

thanks

[Smith]

system works fixed a bunch of stuff, but i still have the problem.

and noone has awnsered my question. if i buy more ram, or a new vid card, or sound card, will it fix the problem?

May be as simple as your machine does&#39;nt meet the min. requirements. To pay that game.


Quote : # 800 MHz or faster Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon processor
# 256 MB or more RAM . Sorry these are recomended specs.
