PC Problem
« on: 11-09-2012, 11:09:53 »
So since yesterday my PC starts lagging all the time. During FH2 when I press Enter or Page up ect it does nothing for the next 30 secs.
Also alt Tab ect is slow.
When starting the pc up it also takes long, and when destop is here it says "windows now uses normal mod as there is not enough memory".(instead of aero)

Specifiactions:
AMDFX6100sixcore 3.GHz
6GB Ram
A;3+AUsUs M5a99x Evo Mainboard
ARX500Watt Basiq BP500 bulk
Sapphire Radeon HD 6790 Lite retail 1GB

Also Internet makes problem as it cant connect the last 2 starts ups automatic. needed to do the "search for problem" and then it was fixed.

Whats broken? I hope its the mainboard and not the Ram as I could bring the mainboard back to shop

Or you got yourself visitors. Did you disable Java due to the latest security breach on their end? ^^

Run memtest86 or some other RAM diagnostic software to see whether the RAM is at fault. My older comp crashed to black screen and did not respond to power key for a while after that, refused to recognize that a display card was plugged (beeping on POST), crashed to BSOD with a random driver as the obvious culprit, and all these symptoms were due to a failing memory module.

Just in case, also do a full system scan for malware, preferably using a bootable read-only media. IIRC F-Secure offers for free a self-booting CD image that contains a minimal Linux implementation and a non-graphical Linux version of their software, that should be able to detect even "stealthing" viruses, rootkits, and boot sector viruses (because you never boot from the hard disk or start Windows at all), provided the program itself can recognize the infected files.

You mean 2Gb of memory used on desktop ? Without any "heavy" program started ? Dude, that's nearly 800Mb too much.

Either you're the kind of guy that installs a billion of shit programs that start with the computer, or you're babysitting a litter of trojans/malwares.  :P

A faulty motherboard isn't likely to just make a computer slow. The computer would be either running fine with a "dead" component you could identify (for example, a SATA port, or the audio chip not working) or  just crashing with reboots, BSOD, that sort of things.

18 Mb/s is indeed not normal for a USB 3.0 port, but did you install the proper drivers for it ?

30% of memory used out of 6 Gb is quite strange too on desktop with Windows 7. CTRL+ALT+SUPPR -> look for a process using a lot of memory or a lot of unknown processes.

Only 10% of normal internet speed ? Then, either there is a problem with your modem/line and your computer has nothing, OR your computer is infected and 90% of the bandwidth used by the malwares (and that would tally with the abnormal memory use).

What if your modem and/our router is actually infected by malware and your computer is not? There have been a few virii that have been able to infect certain types of routers and routing modems.

Yes, I remember I had a modem/router catch something that announced itself by blocking connections to facebook.  Didn't affect me, but my housemates were pissed.  Kept coming back until a hard reset I think.

mh that sounds interresting, as I could not access Facebook too for a while -but that is 3 months ago.

Internetspeed is normal again.

USB 3 port was installed as I had speeds with 50mb/s iirc.
