amdphr3@kXP Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 Ur partition(s) may hav been corrupted by a virus, I had the same prob with my machine recently and fixed it by repartitioning. Try repartitioning ur drive

amdphr3@kXP Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 yeh just to be sure, write down the sizes and that so u can recreate em how u want them
MSNwar Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 If that does not solve the problem give us more information. Specificaly, PC Specs, Did you do a clean installation or an overwrite?
Flash Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 Aye, re-partiting them would be your best idea... Then re-install etc...If you do something for a first time like in stall a OS and stuff don't work, always re-do as sometimes files can get lost.
reubend Posted June 16, 2003 Author Posted June 16, 2003 well, i didnt do it because i think its fixed. now thigns are fine. i just restarted and thigns were faster. hopefully after i reboot things wont be slow again.
reubend Posted June 16, 2003 Author Posted June 16, 2003 well, so far so good. ive robooted a few times and thigns have been fine.

reubend Posted June 18, 2003 Author Posted June 18, 2003 looks like when one proble is solved another one starts,i had some ram lying so i decided to stick it in, once i booted into windows, after about 10 min. it restarted by itself.it kept doing this so i switched the stick of ram for another one, and it restarted again after a while.i took it out and left in the ram i had in the begining and everythign is fine.does this mean both sticks of ram are bad? or that my last ram slot is bad?
