I cant figure out what it is, Iveran reg Cks, HDD checks, DefraDisk Cleanups, Scan every thing you can think of and still nothing
Running least background programmes i can and most memory consuming ones gett shut down
Hardrive loading light always stays on too

It also used to boot up in like 10seconds but in the past few weeks its gone to at least 20-30 seconds :/ before useable
So can anyone help me in this, as soon im just going to end up stripping the PC bare and flogging (which is not what i want)

ThanksLuke

Ok, what security software you running? Have you got SP3?

Service Pack 3 ? If so, Yes

Running KasperSky
Spyware Doctor
Registery mechanic
O&O Defrag
CC Cleaner

Thats all the programmes i use

Im good when building a PC but software just goes over my head

Print screen shot of start up programs.

Start > Run > msconfig > Startup

Ok here you go




Think i may be needing to switch to AVG this week, as our kaspersky runs out

Well most of those look unnecessary, myself I would untick all of them as they are not system processes, but that is upto you. Also I see you have AVG installed? Along with Kaspersky and SpyDoc?

2 - 3 Are Nvidia tools, so you could leave them.

1 - 2 Are Asus (Motherboard) tools, again optional I would say.

have got them, do have avg ready for switch come Tuesday

and spydoc = Spybot right (i got wrong one sorry)

Ok will restart and see what the difference is

Ok - start-up is so much quicker - still getting the sound problems though

Update all motherboard + GFX drivers.

Have you tried Tune Up Utilities 2010?

I used to run Tune up 2008 on my old machine but not on this as i dont have the codes

Still got the audio problem and have updated all drivers

Reckon its the lack of not having a dedicated soundcard?

Defo not should be fine. What you use to listen to music?

Don't say Media player.... pleeeeeeeeeeease don't say media player...

I would check what sort of processing the adobe and google programs are using up as well as your antivirus. I use Avira myself and it doesn't slow it down.

Have you tried playing music in winamp?

Winamp seems to be the same

No not Media Player - Itunes

With Winamp, you can go into the settings and set it's priority

I find that helps.. the more other programs try to leech resources from it.. the higher I put it's priority... nobody messes wiv my music!
