AAAHHHH, my computer has all of a sudden decided to go kinda haywire on me. It plays the music files iv'e downloaded but really jittery, kinda really kind of choppy. The hard drive has also slowed up a lot, it takes forever to shut off and is really slow at things like burning cd's whereas it use to be mega fast. I've tried using different media programs to play the music files but they all give the same effect, but i can burn them to cd and they work ok. What the hell is going on?, i took my hard drive to my school to fix it and all the "technician" did was install some korean media player which was total shite.
Anyone have any ideas?, ive scanned the whole thing twice with the latest spyware things and it's come up clean so i'm all out of tricks. Should i get them to send it back to the company?[/code] |

Need more info.......did you change anything? It could be a million things...a bios setting, a windows setting.. stupid software.
Did you drop the computer or hard drive? Could be bad sectors....try running scan disk on it. |

Ok...easy enough. Do the following.
ScanDisk
Disk Defragmenter
Run anti-virus software (the latest ones).
Delete programs that you never use from your computer
Delete all of the crap that is on your computer that you don't need
But....if you ask me...the best solution would be:
REFORMAT THE COMPUTER if it has been close to or over a year since you have done so. Everything will be up and running again in a jiffy.
Just back up your information that you need onto the slave drive. |
