seems like an ok computer right?! haha.. well, im having a problem here..
I recently reformatted my computer, roughly about a month ago, I erased everything completely.
After everything was erased i re-installed windows xp, direct x 9
then the drivers to my video card, and mobo, and so on.
my computers performance is soooo amazingly slow that i can click on a folder. and it will think for at least 15-30 seconds before opening the folder i clicked on.
this is driving me nuts.
i play counter-strike: source - when ever i change weapons / or if there is even a combination of too many sounds.. the computer will lock up for about 5-10 seconds then resume..
my computer, which isn't bad at all spec wise... is bottle necking.. and i can't figure out why?!
it sounds like its a ram problem to me.. but idk how the hell it can be a ram problem when i CTR + ALT + DEL all the programs i didnt need and i have 1 GIG!! 1 GIG!! of ram.. it's really odd..
i just need to know if anyone has had similar problems.. i know this is a tough one.. but im open to any ideas.. or any suggestions.. or a quick fix.. hell im open to anything..
thank you for taking the time out to hear about my problems..
