Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / October 2006WinXP slow performance
I have a HP AMD Turion ML-34 1.8ghz laptop and everything has been running top notch until I recieved an error one day saying "Operating System not found." I decided to reformat and ever since then everything has been loading slow. It takes a good 25 secs for a window or a program to load (used to load almost instantly). I have a 100gb hard drive and 1gb of RAM. I am pretty sure its not a matter of memory or space because I have way more space and resources than before I reformatted (had a lot more programs then). I am running sp2 on fat32. My guess the HDD is failing but i am not sure.

Please help Not necessarily the HD. Did you install ALL drivers, mobo/chipset, videa, audio, nic?..... And don't get them from WinUpdate, get them from HP Can't give address, as you didn't specify which model......  SignatureTumppi ================================= A lot learned from these newsgroups Helsinki, FINLAND (translations from/to FI not always accurate ================================= the model is dv8315ca... and I dont know if all the drivers were installed. I assume they were because I sent it in to the place I bought the laptop to fix it and told them to restore it to its original condition as when i bought it (when it was working properly). > > I have a HP AMD Turion ML-34 1.8ghz laptop and everything has been > > running top notch until I recieved an error one day saying "Operating [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > And don't get them from WinUpdate, get them from HP > Can't give address, as you didn't specify which model...... Try Start, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Delete all but the most recent Restore Point ( Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup, More options). Run Disk Defragmenter in Safe Mode. SignatureHope this helps.

This problem had occured right when I got the system back, which was before any clutter pile up. > Try Start, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to > Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files.

You beter > use NTFS Although I agree that NTFS is a better choice, it's not "too big" for FAT32 and FAT32 is not the reason for poor performaance.

Please help It's highly unlikely that the hard drive is failing. The first thing anyone experiencing such problems these days should do is investigate the possibility of malware infestation. This is the most common cause of such problems. I recommend that you go to Malke's Malware Removal site at http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware and follow the instructions there.
