Help Plzzz Lol I Got Problems

[MattOrr]

Hello-

I am running a Custom built w/WinXP, hard drive is pritty old and i think its going bad. the whole system freezes to where Cont/Alt/Del won't respond. I did get into Task Manager once and it shows performance CPU Useage is 100%, MEM Usage is 26% with no applications running.

Thanks!

could it be the hdd or bad cpu

[JDoors]

The hard drive would be one of the last things I'd check, so it makes me wonder if you have ANY other reason to suspect the drive?

Malware would be the first thing to check.

[shanenin]

my gut says that is a software problem, either the OS or misbehaving application. I would test it by running knoppix, if that runs without those problems, that would at least rule out a hardware problem. just use the 'top' command from the terminal, it will show memory and cpu usage.

[MattOrr]

Okay yeah but i have reinstalled windows 3 times on the same drive and it keeps happeing i have been completely Whiiping the drive.... how would i check for mal ware

Iam not computer stupid i built the pc the procceseor runs fine and never over heats and if it was to mess up the system would shut down thats why i am thinking its the hdd

MattOrr, I moved your HJT log post to the HJT section. I created a post for it with your username in it. Any HJT analysis replies will be posted in that thread. I left this thread here as this may or may not be a malware infection.

Matt

[MattOrr]

Oh shoot i thought my internet was messing up sorry man

Thank You

[shanenin]

as to test for a hardware problem, I would try one stick of memory at a time, assuming you have more then one stick in it.

[MattOrr]

Yes i already did that and they were fine

and i had the cpu oc'd but i put it back to normal it runs cool at 40-42 c running and 43-49 under laod

[shanenin]

do you have a copy of any live linux disk, like knoppix. That is a great tool to have.

edit added later//

looking at your hijack this log, you seem to have quite a few programs already installed. Do you get this problem just after installing winodws, before installing any of the extra stuff?

Edited September 20, 2005 by shanenin

[MattOrr]

Yeah i do somewhere god noes i got to many things burned to disk

[MattOrr]

But see if it was the cpu the computer would shut its self down or restart or blue screen... thats why iam going with the hdd

[MattOrr]

kinda i got it this problem when i jsut installed windows nothing ealse no drivers no nothing.... also i have done a copy without sp2 and with sp2 same problem

[spazmich]

What happens when you run chkdsk? Or any manufacturer supplied HDD integrity diagnostics?

[JDoors]

kinda i got it this problem when i jsut installed windows nothing ealse no drivers no nothing.... also i have done a copy without sp2 and with sp2 same problem

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If a clean copy of the OS freezes it sure does indicate a hardware problem ... All I can say is to follow previous advice regarding temps and RAM. Perhaps I'd use the generic VGA driver to eliminate the video driver as a possible choke-point.

Okay yeah but i have reinstalled windows 3 times on the same drive and it keeps happeing i have been completely Whiiping the drive.... how would i check for mal ware

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

When you say you installed it 3 times, was that a clean install where the drive was wiped clean by formatting? I always repartition and format to make certain of a good install. Is the drive making any noise. Does a chkdsk show any bad sectors? That 100 percent usage at least for me, has always meant a virus / malware problem. Do a clean install if you havn't and get all the updates before you load anything else. Then check the cpu usage. I would also try a memtest first before any of this just to see if your sticks pass all test.
