ragdoll Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Ok ever since ive had this mother board things have begun to downgrade and become slower, windows takes about 20-30 seconds on the plash screen and it wont shut down or restart...i know this could be windows corrupted..but the first time i loaded windows up everything was fine then when i load the bios and drivers for the mobo...windows loads slow as molasses i can only beleive that this is the mobo causing these crappy load times...

stone_cold_Jimi Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Have you run anti-virus and anti-spyware yet? Defragged your partition? Regular reasons for slowdowns there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrettward Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 tried a fresh Windows install? kicking it? disconnect external drives, usb devices, etc? - I've seen conneted ipods slow down boot times to a crawl. how come the sig police have not attacked yet? lucky bas$#@ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Um, is adaware antiviral software now? Last I checked it just got spybots, you might want to download avast or something if you don't have true antivirus software... Edit: Just a few other notes, is that just a 1GB stickk you have in there or 2x512? That power supply might be straining a bit with that board. It's probably okay since the rest of your system isn't all that power hungry, but its a thought especially since there were some Antecs that just weren't running well anyways. I doubt its the cause of your problems, I'm still leaning towards a defrag and antivirus, but its a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

solgae1784 Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 The title seems misleading.....every computer, no matter what kind, would be slowed down slightly or significantly as you use it. It's sad, but true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
