computer performance

When I right click in certain areas on my computer, I get a Not Responding error. This happens with my mouse and trackpad when I right click, so it's my computer and not mouse. For example: Applies to: - Desktop folders/icons/files. When my desktop stops responding, it flashes white, refreshes...

Hi, Recently, I got a new computer but I have been getting the blue screen of death (BSOD) almost since I got it. I thought that maybe it was related to a driver of one of the PCI cards connected to the computer but recently I removed all non-essential components (4 PCI cards and two extra...

Hi, A windows 7 machine does the following: There is 16 GB of physical memory in the computer. I put it in my self a few months ago. If you right click on the properties of "This Computer" you will actually see that there is 16 GB. But if you go through the task manager you will see that there...

I've had a black screen and working cursor for around a minute after entering my password at login. The desktop eventually comes up and everything appears normal. Is there anything that could be running such as the Malicious Software Removal Tool or other program? Would the Event Viewer be...

So i'm pretty sure that i had a virus so i did a factory reset but i have heard from numerous people that factory reset is a 50/50 chance it got rid of the virus even though my computer is 100x faster than before i just wan't to make sure i get rid of it. So my question is, If i reformat my HDD...

My sound is very scratchy, usually when i skype with multiple people, or skype with one person and play games at the same time, as if my computer cannot handle 2 sources of sound at the same time. This happens with my speaks and headphones so it is not a hardware problem. all drivers are up to...

I got this BSoD when clicking on Google Chrome (which was open) after exiting Guitar Hero 3. I also got another one the other day when panning in and out of GTA IV, also while trying to go to chrome. (The old dmp I don't have sadly...) And also the first one when watching a video on Windows...

Been having some problems with blue screens for a while now. I recently managed (I think) to deal with ones related to fwpkclnt.sys, thanks to some help on the web (probably from poking around in this very forum). But today I started having problems again. DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS THAN EQUAL and...

Which is better for the computer to get some life back into it. Should I reinstall windows 7 and start over and add the programs that I want or is it safe to uninstall the programs that I no longer use. Its been a while since I have had a fresh windows. The reason for this is that the PC has...

My wife's Windows 7 home premium on a HP desktop computer with IE 10 is unable to properly access web pages. The computer boots properly and quickly. All installed programs also work properly including Windows Live Mail. However, when launching IE 10, any page will take several minutes to load...

Hey there guys, I have recently started getting constant BSOD's, now to the point that I can't even use my computer. It started about a week or two ago, and has constantly gotten worse. I have gotten a variety of different codes. I really need my computer to go back to normal, as I am taking...

I frequently get a (Not Responding) message, especially when working in MS products (OFFICE 2013 is the worst). Usually the error will clear itself if I leave the computer alone for a few minutes. Is there any way to stop this??

For about two weeks or so the 31gb c drive on my HP Mini has kept on filling up, sometimes within 20mb of space. I have run disk cleanup and defrag and used CCleaner, but they only free up about 200mb of space at a time, and eventually that gets filled up again. Once I freed up 1gb by restarting...

First off, Hi :) I'm new here. My Problem: Yesterday my PC was working fine when I was using it for one of my classes. I shut it off when it was time to go and when I started it back up a few hours later. As soon as it got past the boot logo it went to BlueScreen and shut back off. Up until...

1) Would Windows 7 64-bit work faster, slower or exactly the same compared to 32-bit version on a computer with AMD Quad-Core A6-3420 64-bit CPU and 4 GB RAM (1333 MHz DDR3). I am mostly interested in its performance as an operating system, like opening My Computer, opening folders, staring...

I try to search them but nothing is coming up and then I saved/created again but the computer tells me "another file with that name already existed..." but I don't seem them anywhere in the folder. What is happening?

Okay, my computer is very clogged at the moment and I would like to do a complete restore, but I have some files that I need to keep. Is there a way I can do a complete restore but keep some of the files (no external hard drive).

I updated my windows and I have a custom built computer and my tech guy has the same computer like me and it does the same thing, on ocassion when I move my mouse arrows in certain areas (mostly over things that have typing as well as well as a web browser) my mouse turns into a group of...
