Sounds like that could be the problem. Explain what you mean by slowing...

The last time I experienced slowing was when I suspected that my computer was infested with adware...download and run (if you haven't already) adaware.

You can download a free version: here (http://www.lavasoftusa.com)

You may be infected with a computer virus too, you never know...do you have any virus protection and is your OS up to date?

Let us know ;)

You make it sounds as though the system is slow only when playing games. If so what type of video card are you using? If you are using a older model card on the newer games it's possible to have this issue.

Or is the entire system just running slow?

also, make sure your cpu isnt running hot, nothing really to do with your symtom i dotn think. but just the fact you mention its for a slower cpu,

for video card i have geforce 4 ti 4200 and the temperature is like 27 and the

maxium is 60. also when i turn it on after i put my pass it takes too long to begin

and i think it only charges the anti virus.


ps. sorry for my english. :blink:

try going to PC Pitstop (http://www.pcpitstop.com) and run the test there.

it should give you a rough idea if there's anything wrong with your system

also, when was the last time you defragmented your hard drive?
this might be adding to the problem

p.s. don't worry about your english. it's pretty good in the context of this board.
anyway, your sig makes up for any problems in language :)

Thanks, i already went to PC Pitstop and just told me that my internet was slow

and something about windows and that i had to defrag the hard disk, and i did like

an hour before the test that. maybe i should buy a new fan and hard hard disk.
