A little trouble with windows
I seem to have a slight problem with my PC lately. It seems to have happend since i installed GTA IV, but i've uninstalled that now. I've defragged, cleaned it with registry mechanic and booster, i've made sure all the drivers are upto date using driver scanner and they are but its just so slow. I restarted it earlier, and when it comes on the Windows XP screen, with the bar underneath that moves across, it stayed on that screen for well over a minute. It used to take about 10 15 seconds. Once its booted and loaded up fully, it seems to be fine but it takes about 10 minutes to boot up fully, and i know that ain't right. Also the sound has just started to sound really crackly now and again, only like every 2 minutes or so, but it gets annoying when listening to music and stuff. Here are my computer specs:
Windows XP Professional
Asrock Dual Series 4Coredual-VSTA Motherboard
Intel Core 2 quad CPU Q6600 2.40Ghz
2GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 9500GT Graphics card
I believe they are the main things? I have a quite high spec PC, but its running so slow. I use it as a gaming machine a lot, i have loads of games, big games like COD 4, COD 5, Hawx, Fear and the 2 add ons, mirrors edge and more, but there all installed on a different harddrive, so it shouldn't interfere with the system performance?
Ok i was exaggerating a bit with 10 minutes to boot up, it takes about 6 minutes, but its still not right...i know that!
