[help] i'm in desperate need of computer help please [help]

[fitness]

hi
my computer is really, really messed up. i can't figure out what it is, i got diskeeper like ghost and janus said, it worked very well but my trialware ran out of time... my computer is just spiking. my actually cpu is spiking on the graph in performance. it goes from 0 to 100% then it will go back down. i tried spyware, i tried defragmenting.. i don't know what it is.. i also lag out at times. i will be playing and then ill just lagout. i even bought a new modem but it didnt change anything. i have the side of my computer off, the removable part.. could that be part of the problem?

any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

1. what a/v software are you using
2. is windows up to date
3. what is your cpu temp(get speedfan)
4. system specs or link to specs would help
5. hijack this + logs = good

thats all i can think of now

[Maf]

Yup, get us that info and we should beable to recomend some fixes for your pc. Without more detailed info we can't do to much.

--edit--

1. whats a/v? audio/visual?
2. no because i have an illegal copy so i can't update. is that a problem?
3. i'm not sure how to check my cpu temperature.
4. system specs, here's what i know:
Pentium 4 cpu 2.20 ghz 2.19 ghz 512 mb

5. k i'm gonna go download high jack this.

also, i get 10-30 fps in half life now when i used to get 70-100

2. no because i have an illegal copy so i can't update. is that a problem?


definitely a problem

[q]

you might have to reformat

[spin]

a/v = antivirus, and yes, having an illegal copy of windows that isnt up-to-date is a pretty substantial problem.

[fitness]

ok. i'm not sure if this is going to help but here's what's running in my processes when boot my computer:

i was ending most of the tasks because they look suspicious but i think that might be my problem.. i think maybe the guy who installed the windows on my computer had to install those so that windows would think i had a legal copy. i ran auto update and it worked this time but my power went out so i'm going to try again later.

lol.. sigh.

*smacks forehead*

[thrash_head]

First of all, get a legit copy of XP. Then get a good anti-virus and don't go to pron sites so much.

[fitness]

thanks for the input nine and janus...fucking idiots. i like porn.
thansk for the help all, really i appreciated it.

[Nine]

thanks for the input nine and janus...fucking idiots. i like porn.
thansk for the help all, really i appreciated it.this is what it's all about. right here.

[fitness]

shit, alright well thanks i wasn't trying to be an ass i just wanted some constructive input.
then what can i do?i have no a/v.. is there anything i can do for free i'm broke right now?

[Maf]

If you want a free AV for now. You can use AVG. I don't honnestly like recomending it but it's alot better then nothing. Download Me! (http://free.grisoft.com/softw/70free/setup/avg71free_407a808.exe)

But get a LEGIT copy of windows and a better AV when possible. You can normaly buy an OEM of WinXP Home online for like $90 at NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16832116056)

2. no because i have an illegal copy so i can't update. is that a problem?

Anyone else find it really odd that his system idle is at 75 but his CPU usage is at 70%
Yer gettin jacked brother :D pick yer pron wisely..

A/V protection
Ad-Aware (http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html)
Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) < I like this, it seems to work OK. Its more of a guard against it rather than a cleaner.

And like said above, get a good copy of XP, if you can't afford it, find someone with an old win2k disk they will give you. A legit version of 2k is better than a non-updated version of xp. I'll prolly get bitched at for this, but some will agree...

ok...now go to http://hijackthis.de/ and copy/paste your log file into the analyzer. note all the Nasty! Possibly Nasty? and Unknown?'s you have...you've got a lot of shit on your pc.

[Maf]

MySpace has a took bar? wtf. lol

[fitness]

all of the programs have helped but im still getting moments where my fps goes to like 5-7.. i don't get it.
also i can't run winamp and hl because it freezes every 3 seconds for about 1 second.
i ran everything and i'm using a trialware version of norton.
anything else i can do to help my computer run at optimum speed?
any help would be very appreciated

[spin]

trendmicro has a fantastic online virus scanner, and it is much better than norton will ever be.
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

i also suggest getting rid of limewire and bearshare, and pretty much anyother p2p programs you may have (those are the only 2 i saw when i quickly browsed your log). also, do away with stylexp. it will help your performance out a lot.

[N4P4LM]

honestly, you've been trouble-shooting this long enough IMO. you might as well just just a format/reinstall and only install the essentials this time.

[public_slots_free.mL]

if you know how to get a hacked version of XP, you should know how to update it as well.

[Janus]

truth. this would be all done (including backup and reinstall).

[fitness]

well i want to reformat but i can't i don't have an os on cd.

naplam ill try that scanner now, and i'm getting rid of style xp right now.

[fitness]

also i have a file called windows xp key.rtf , could that help in updating? i dont know how to open it

[Nine]

are you serious

[N4P4LM]

this can help you with your reformatting: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16832116056

[Nine]

[20:33] nin3z: lol do you always take rejection so gracefully?
[20:33] *** Error while sending IM: This user is currently not logged on

[fitness]

nine youre seriously pathetic. i'm glad you're cool on this forum though you have to get some sort of happiness out of life.

anyways, i have that winxp.rtf file if someone could help me figure out how to update my windows using that or something it would be great.

i'm asking(according to nine i look like a faggot for doing it) because i don't know about this stuff, i didn't install the illegal copy, my dad had someone do it. HENCE THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING.

[N4P4LM]

dude.... rtf is rich text format. it's like a word document. all you're gonna find in there is some xp cd-key that isnt gonna be validated by MS anyway. just spend $90 on a legal copy of xp home edition, format your pc, and be done with it.

[Janus]

closing this thread.

it is getting way too out of hand.
