hi everyone. hope someone could help with my slow pc.

this is my specs:

- Window XP Professional SP2.

- Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13GHz.

- Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-945P-S3. LGA775.

- RAM Corsair 667 (DDR II 512MBx2) Dual Layer.

- Harddisk Maxtor 160GB.

- power supply 400 Watt with 20 pin.

the problems are:

- slow loading on startup.

- take more times when installing program.

- shortly describe is its take too long to loading and installing any application.

could anyone help me on this? its really give me hard time when doing some work n programming something. one more thing...my startup show me only 30-35 process when i check on task manager>processes.. i already makes some standard tweaks to increase the performance. still doesn't work.

is my hardware problem or my window installation problem? thanks in advance

You say it´s slow, but compared to what? Was it faster before?

I would start to reinstall the SATA/PATA controllers first.

That drive, is it PATA? And does it use it´s own channel?

compare to nothing. it just taking too long to load any program. for example....i open winamp program...then open office word....then open web browser....its really taking too long to load each one of them.

i dont know how to reinstall the SATA/PATA controllers? and how to recognize is it PATA and does it use it's own channel? could u help me on that ?

okay, so first download the new drivers of your motherboard and install them.

EDIT: The drivers can be found here.

The Chipset drivers is what you need...

already download it and install it. but still the same. its take around 3-4 minutes to load window. running process only 30 process. is it software problem or hardware problem?

The fast way to check that is to reinstall Windows first... I wish I could help you faster but there is no other way...
