There's your problem. Seriously, Vista is balls. I have the same thing with mine getting super slow over time, it isn't so bad right now but my laptop still has 2184192889 annoying problems. Get a new computer.I'm using windows vista.
I have AVG(free version), Anti-malware.
Last time I scan was abt 1 month ago.
I restart my system just a while ago for software update.
I have abt 5-6 programs start with system but tones are services.
Is there any cleaning software that is effective and free?
I usually use my laptop for web browsing.
What model is your laptop Sinister? Perhaps there is a bad connection where your battery should be connected to, assuming that your battery is perfectly fine of course. While the chances are extremely unlikely, do you know anyone with the same model laptop? You could always try switching your battery with a friend's if you have the same laptop. It sounds like a hardware issue to me, which I think you would have to call the manufacturer for in order to get it fixed.P.S. Sole, would you be able to help me out? My Vista's beefing me too. As soon as it's unplugged, it dies. It doesn't even read the battery anymore, and I know my battery itself is fine.
Were you able to perform a virus scan at all? If your computer keeps freezing up, you could always try booting into safe mode. If you aren't able to regular boot, try running your anti-virus program in safe mode. To get into safe mode, hold F8 on your keyboard after the BIOS screen goes away. The BIOS screen is just the very very first screen you see when you restart (or power on) your machine. You will get a list of options, black screen with white text. Find the option that says "safe mode with networking" because you will still have connectivity to the network if you need to download programs to help in repairing your computer while still being in safe mode.ammie said:I checked my hard drive and restarted the system, but when I tried to turn it off, it just semi frozed. I can move my mouse but I can't do any activities. It does that alot recently and everytime I have to force it to turn off in the end coz I don't have a reboot button on my laptop.
That's actually a really good idea that I forgot to mention. I just recently dusted out my machine because I noticed my GPU was running a little hotter than it should be. While gaming, pre-dusting it was running near 85 degrees Celsius but now it runs at a much cooler 65 degrees Celsius post-dusting.Oh, and dust out the physical box, too. I've seen computers that overheat b/c fans are stuck, and slow down cpu operations to compensate.
