Hi,
I hope you can help me. I have performance related issues. My Windows XP
seems to be in some slow mode and I think it might be related to one of my
two processors or some indexation. That cpu always shows more usage than
the other does. When it peaks my system becomes unusable for few seconds.
When I am using the mousepad or the pointing stick my system seems to lock
for a moment and then I am able to continue my work for few moments and then
it locks again and the same story repeats.
This has been an issue for few weeks now but I can't recall when it started
or what I was doing when it happened. It is possible that it has happened
while my son was playing online (he is seven years old and is playing on
sites like Cartoon network and Disney).
I have scanned the computer with Trend Micro and AVG without finding a
virus. I ran Spybot and Ad-Aware also with minimal findings (MRU object,
DoubleClick, disable.MicrosoftSystemRestore and Zedo). I have updated the
system, used Diskeeper, TuneUp Utilities and Ccleaner for tuning up the
system. I ran e.g. defragment and tuned up the registry. I ran CHKDSK /I
/C /F and got following from CHKDSK /c:
CHKDSK is recovering lost files
Correcting errors in the master file table's (MFT) BI
Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.
Specs:
Dell Precision M65 (oct 2007)
T7400, 2.16 GHz
3,25 (4,0) GB RAM, 2.16 GHz
NVIDIA Quadro FX 350M 512M
HD Hitachi 100 GB, 25 GB of used space
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Thanks in advance,
Arnar
