Tel Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 It could also be a hardware problem. If it only happens when you are writing data, then it could be the hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Is your drive properly defragmented?Have you enabled DMA for it?Or have the drivers for the MoBo chipset got corrupted in anyway?Also, see in System Properties whether windows is accessing your HDD in LBA mode (which is _extremely_ slow).I'm new hereWelcome here Stanislavs!

Stanislavs Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 I defragemented drive, put in another one. But still same problem.I think it has something to do with the CPU, it hangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Sounds simular to something i had a while back!Norton Antivirus 2004 on a system with not too much resources free caused that.It kept scanning everything what was accessed or moved/copied, and when you have a ...let's say.. light configuration of hardware it's really lagging the whole system!Removed NAV2004 and voila! no probs anymore, went back to nav2003.Hope it helps.But if it's the CPU you can check on your temps...How about an new clean install on that other disk of you? What happens then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanislavs Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 I had Norton Ant-Virus 2 years ago.Maybe the processor burned up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanislavs Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 Maybe it's processor? Maybe it burned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 It could be some kind of overheating, check that fans work ok and have a look at task manager what you have running.I had a friend with same kind of problems that had a virus that used tftp.exe to download itself, once downloaded the antivirus cleared it, but it started again tftp.exe.....thus stalling system.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanislavs Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 I checked, i dont have tftp.exe and my fan works.The problem is even when i started Windows for a min. In my CTRL-ALT-DELETE window i have only 5 progs running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I am sorry to say that, but if you are positive that:1) Hardware is OK(no overheating)2) NO VIRUS/SPYWARE/ETC is installed3) NO memory/processor hungry processes are running in background4) NO conflicts between devicesyour next option is to re-install from scratch.One last possibility before taking the suggestion above is trying to see if there is some "non-due" activity on the PC by means of these tools:Filemon and Regmonhttp://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtmljaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
