1199677 2011-05-06 10:45:00 Okay, I ran all tests in bios and no errors were found. I will probably get a Pentium 4 950 or similar. sahilcc7 (15483)
1199678 2011-05-06 11:14:00 I'd say the CPU is not the issue, previously I have found the HDD to be slow causing problems. If you can get a spare or somthing and install a test OS to compare performance. Had the same problem with an Asus notebook.

Check the CPU and RAM load in the task manager or similar, if its like the Asus the thing was slow as hell yes resource usage was low as was memory usage. HDD was the slow part.

Forget in-BIOS tests.

Download and run Memtest86+ to check RAM and SpeedFan to check your HDD

1199680 2011-05-07 07:39:00 The performance for general browsing and using is alright, but its just when opening programs like Roxio Media Manager for Blackberry to transfer songs to his phone. It really slows down and can easily freeze if you click too many times on something. I installed 1GB ram up from 512mb and it didn't do too much of a difference - (Only boot time) . I will do MemTest86+ and SpeedFan soon. Thanks for the replies :) sahilcc7 (15483)
1199681 2011-05-07 07:42:00 See if there are other programs that can transfer whatever to the blackberry. It maybe the program thats the cause not windows. This may or may do the same thing

us.blackberry.com its 114 mb tho

1199682 2011-05-08 03:53:00 That's the only software that works and can't get the phone to work as mass storage. What should I look out for in speedfan.

It will show the SMART data, if nothing makes much sense to you, click "Perform an in-depth online analysis of this hard disk" and see what it says.

Post a screenshot of the results here too if you like.
