What could be wrong with my pc?? freezing a lot?
 

Lately my pc has been weird for the past few days. For example if I want to cut and paste a folder from one folder to another the thing will just freeze when I'm in the middle of pasting and I have to control/alt/delete or close the program and start anew.

Is this most likely to be a hard drive problem or what could it be??

Check your ram first -- run a program called Memtest86 on it for at least two complete passes (should take 30-45 minutes). That's what I would check first.

Defrag your hard drive over night. Also, you should check the temperature your process and motherboard are running at. Lots of utilities for this, probably one included on your motherboard driver CD. I personally had similiar problems, except my computer would just shut off from time to time too. What happens is as everything heats up, the motherboard begins to claw back performance from the CPU, and things start to run very slowly.

virtual memory, do what the guy above said, and try deleting some of your unwanted files.

scan your system...I use http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/

Ok, thanks, I'm gonna check out all the suggestions right now and see if that helps.

it's your virtual memory (it builds up and never dumps itself, decrease it.

experiencing a same problem as well whit one of my computer :(

What do I set it too? It'sr at total paging for all devices at" 1536mb right now,
its set at "set the best performance for programs" instead of devices.

I ran Ewido already multiple times, I did have a ton of viruses, I got rid of some of them but my pc is still freezing.

I ran a memory test and had no errors so far.

I'm going to have the temp check next.

Oh and it's still freezing. It's only been like that for a few days. Usually my pc behaves and is pretty fast.

LOOL!!!

Also I did defrag all my drives already. for some reason my pc is fast, it defrags really fast so I can't leave it to defrag overnight. It completes the job earlier than that.

I don't seem to have any memory probs.

As for virtual memory, What do I set it too? It'sr at total paging for all devices at" 1536mb right now, its set at "set the best performance for programs" instead of devices. Is that too high?? Too low??

i very much doubt your gfy account has been hacked, its not in your sig or anything. i think you have a trojan on your pc.

2 things I usually do if my computer starts getting all slow and fucked up.

1: run spybot and adaware
2: check the registry and make sure it's not bloated. I use Free Registry Fix.

After doing these 2 things my computer usually runs smooth again. If these 2 don't work, try some of the other ideas listed above. :2 cents:

Yeah, check my quote above..

My guess is You've got Your Windows infected with something,
scan all Your disks with appropiate scan+removal tools once
You've booted up Windows in "(error) safe mode"..

LOOL!!!

No, it's not in my sig, it's the first line before my post and right after it. It will say "lol visit here for bestnetpostcards.exe!

How would the spyware know to only enter that line my posts only and no one else's. I only see it my post... lol

i would check out the memory but it could also be that you have spyware on your machine which is using resources such as your memory.
you wanna check what applications are running as soon as you start up your machine.
on windows xp and 2000 you click on CTRL & ALT as well as DELETE key at the same time. proceed to click on processes and you will see what and how many programs are running at that time but do it as soon as the machine boots up so you know it's a fresh boot up with no other programs that you started to run during the day while using the machine.
if you see something you don't know or recognize then it could be spyware running in the backround which needs to be removed.

because its coming from your computer, not the forum. i see it on your posts too, its a way to spread the infection.

The .exe link you keep posting is a virus that you possibly received via e-mail. It does not automatically leap into posts made on a bulletin board such as this. I hope I am wrong, but I have a hunch that you (or someone that has hacked into your computer) are deliberately and maliciously trying to get unsuspecting GFY members to click on the link, thereby infecting their computers.

Quit posting, and send an e-mail to the mods and have them delete your posts containing the executable virus.

Here is more info on the virus:

ADG Webmaster

you have definite issues and should probably reformat
