Vassili Zaitsev Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 It is not slow, it is more slow than a P 150 MHz... Booting up and all the stuff, and asking me my login and password to enter windows, is perfect, very fast. But the problem is when it starts loading the task bar, the messenger icon is there, the banshee alarm too (its the first loaded), the Daemon tools is there, ATi tray is there, but then I've to wait from 20 seconds to unknown (sometimes i had to reset that piece _____) What can be going wrong? The PC doesn't hang on games or any intense activity... maybe a corrupted system file or something? ***I've ubuntu 5.10 on another partition of the disk. Thanks guys!

red930 Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 What all do you have installed? Are you sure it isn't something with an incompatibility with x64? Have you checked for stability (both memory and cpu)? It is possible a sector is bad on your hard drive, or just a system file as you said.

Trix.rox Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 We need more information, x64 works snappy and fine for me. What drivers did you install and what programs. From the time of format till now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vassili Zaitsev Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 ok I found something interesting: The last thing loaded are the two network monitors. My internet comes from a router, and i receive it with the "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller", not with the Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller... Maybe there is a problem with the connections, im gonna try to disable both and see what happens... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassili Zaitsev Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Problem "solved". I think it is the network monitor for the Marvell NIC, dont know why, but it seems that it is trying to get a connection, but there is no cable for it (cable unpluged), and it seems like if the explorer waits for the monitor stablish connection... VERY strange, any opinion about it? Ô_O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trix.rox Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 I would like comment... I wish NIC manufactures and soundcard manufactures would quit bundling crappy monitors/control panels with horrible GUIs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-man Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 while ur on x64 & hanging. ive been getting a hang on catalyst about 15-20s, and as a result get the new hardware window until catalyst wakes up. then everythings fine. ive only just set it all up ,and had this setup with XP32bit all worked fine. i loaded programs in this order. chipset .net framework catalyst also ive moved doc & settings to my second partition changed target for 32bit programs to third partition moved virtual memory to third partition as well, also upped it from 3gb -5gb and bought the initnal down from 1536k to 512k. if eney of that helps. all the same as my xp32bit setup so none of that should matter :confused:??

Kal-El Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 sounds like it was a memory leak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centy Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 click start>>control panel>> adminstrative tool>>event viewer. I would expect any errors to be listed in there. It should make it easier to fix any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
