Dell OptiPlex GX 260 computer problems – Won’t boot from HD?

November 24, 2009

I have a dell optiplex gx 260 – new hd 500gb, 2gb memory. 2 cd/dvd writers. This was working fine. I reloaded the os and then restored the data 2 months ago. 9 days ago turned on the computer, saw the dell splash screen with options of F2/12 then splash screen went off like normal and all I had was a blinking prompt in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Booted to diagnostics – all passed. Swapped power supplies. same result wouldn’t boot from hd. Reformatted hd, reloaded windows and minimum software – office, anti-virus, adobe stuff, firefox. Added users. Worked great.
Next day wouldn’t boot again. Followed same process of reformatting hd and loading os and sw. This time made ghost image. I have reloaded the ghost image 5 times and the computer runs great for a day. But it will not boot again after a day. I have even swapped hard drives.
Any idea what the problem is?
Running Windows XP SP3

Why do my computers suddenly run slow?

November 22, 2009

I have a laptop and a desktop PC (vista and XP respectively). In the past 1 – 2 months, they both seem to run significantly slower. In particular, surfing the internet is very slow; loading pages can take minutes or not load at all. Reloading a page sometimes helps. This occurs regardless of the browser used ( I have used IE, firefox and chrome, all with the same result).

I have done the following and nothing has helped:
– run a registry cleaner
– run AVG and Adaware anti-virus and anti-malware programs
– cleaned the hard drives and defrag’d them
– ensured I have more than 500 mb space on the "C" drives (I have plenty of space)
– removed non-essential programs from auto start up
– verified the speed of my internet connection

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Plz help! extremely slow broadband!!?

November 13, 2009

My broadband speed is 2Mbps but my download speed rarely goes above 4 KBps(yes it’s "KBps"-kilobytes per second
not kbps) on downloading simple softwares from net. Can u help in some pc tweaks or a software which will speed up my broadband???
It took me more than half hour to download Google toolbar.This Yahoo! answers page itself took more than 13 mins to open in mozilla firefox with fasterfox extension. I have done defragmentation with Auslogics disk defrag, i have cleaned my registry and junk file also but nothin helps. my computer completely free of Viruses and spyware as I’ve scanned with NOD 32 Antivirus & SuperAntispyware and also Spyware doctor & cleaned all malware but still no change.

how can i make my windows vista pc run faster?

November 2, 2009

ok. so i did some looking around. and downloaded some programs. and so far i have tried avast antivirus, avira antivirus, and avg antivirus and have come up with no virus results. i have also tried some spyware programs and have not had any spyware threats on my comp. i have tried to use glary utilities to clean my registry and remove junk files . this makes it worse. i have used ccleaner and that did absolutely nothing. have defragged my system even tho it said it didnt need defragged. and have advanced windows care installed.

some people have told me that the problem with my computer is that i download and install too many programs and have too many things running in the background. i have since uninstalled a lot of programs and have had no improvement.

is there anything short of reinstalling the OS, that i can do with my computer to clean up junk files, or find what the problem is? right now it takes 5 min to open a new tab in firefox. and i have maxed at 3,000 page faults/s
