imm0rt41 Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Getting a new mobo and processor WILL NOT solve the problem you are having since it is virus related and not hardware related. Get AVG antivirus and get rid of that DSO exploit, then get HijackThis! and remove the registry entry that will make it come up when you reboot.

ogwaffle2 Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 the exploit is gone and that bloodhound virus is also gone, i cleared the entry for the dso exploit also, still having problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoArmistead Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 I've been through that before, it sucks. In the end i gave up and did a destructive system recovery and it was all better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindDrive Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 i notice lil skips when my temps get too hot - make sure your graphix card - (the 5200 runs pretty hot - put ram heatsinks on it) make sure your chipset has enough cooling - if its just a heatsink without a fan then get a chipset heatsink with a fan! - make sure your case has enough airflow about the DSO Exploit - that COMES WITH WINDOWS!!! sadly enough - try it - install a fresh install of xp - and then nothing else but spybot search & destroy - the first thing it finds is that dso exploit - and everytime you reboot - you will get it right back - its "part of windows" as for your 13% of system being used - the slower your processor the more % is going to be used - on a P3 800 with windows xp just "sitting there" anywhere from 8% to 24% of the processor is being used - i had xp on a 233mhz pentium and it always ran 48% - on my p4 2.6HT it bounces upto 7% but usually stays around 1-2% try a good defrag and make sure you dont have a bunch of "scheduled tasks" that are running for nothing - make sure you dont have unecessary "auto" tasks waiting to run IE- screensavers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paco785 Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Im glad I can help. Well I think I can. I had the same problem you did. Seems to me its your video card. I had that same exact vid card and it did the samething to me. Heres a link to the lastest nvidia drivers try reinstalling them and check it out. This worked for me for a few days then it went back to the samething. If this doesnt fix it try getting a new vid card :-D. I got a gf4 ti 4800 now. But im in the process of building a new comp but my 6800 GT should be arriving soon. still getting more info from you guys for my other parts. http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_61.77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogwaffle2 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Ok, i cleared both my hard drives and reinstalled windows.. still, it says 13% cpu usage and im getting that skip every 2 seconds. I have a new theory on why its doing this cause i now know its not a software issue. Maybe 1 gig of ram is too much for my pretty dated mobo/processor.

bandido Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 i dont think its your cpu, mobo maybe but i would guess ram or vid ram, oh you daid 1 g of ram ? I hope its not 133, with a older 1.6 its possible you may have sd and not ddr , if this being the case......stupid question xp right?? if its millinium or 98 than its os/ram but if xp I would say bad ram, intel board I hope you do not mean asrock, but 1.6"s rock best processor I ever had, like em a lot, still take one over any amd ,and I do not care what anyone says , as I been there done that .. sorry short attention span Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worker Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 might be spay ware or virus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSternMystic Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 I doubt it's something to do with bad hardware. I have a P4 1.6ghz and I have never had any such problems. Also have a FX5200, Dell OEM (Wonderful card - not) and it doesn't have any skipping problems either. I think it's software...How do you reformat your drive? Because virus's easily survive High level formats (Windows XP startup disk). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
