donggo Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hey all. I just tried to install Vista on my axp 1600+, gf3 ti200, 768mb ddr, epox 8kha+, pioneer 106 dvdrw system and it's running like a dog. After booting from the DVD to the install menu the mouse moves at what seems to be like 1 fps.. you move the mouse and itl skip across the screen instead of moving smoothly. after moving the mouse around a bit to navigate to Install Now, it takes about 4 or 5 hours to install fully. after booting into Vista the problem doesnt go away- mouse skipping all over the place, running EXTREMELY slow, like it's a celeron 266 or something this computer previously had XP running fine on a seperate drive. for the Vista installation i'm using a formatted 20G IBM drive i've tried disabling some stuff and resetting to defaults in the BIOS, and taking out network and tv tuner cards, but its still no go Any ideas?

ev0| Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 you probably have a memory leak in one of the svchost processes and cpu will be at 100 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donggo Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 But it was still running sketchy at the install screen, just like it does once booted into Vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejsl23 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 does your clock run slow too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donggo Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 when i was shutting down it said something like "shutting down in 30 seconds" ... 5 seconds later 29 seconds ....5 seconds later 28 ....5 seconds later 27 thats how slow it was what could be causing it?

dacbo Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 i'm getting the same thing inside windows installed it fine and it runs ok but everything is really jerky (as if inside a game set to too high settings) task manager reports no strange CPU usage, there is no strange disc usage and my memory is reported as having 500mb+ free athlon xp 1800+, 768mb ram, geforce 4 ti 4200 128mb, via mobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I leave it open for a while it does drop down. I think the slow down is from it going in and adding the little thumbs to everything. Just my guess. dk2463 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilledts Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Yep Real slow mouse. No sound soundblaster pci card. And clock runs 10-15 minutes slow. Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejsl23 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 yup sounds like the same thing here.. i did find a way (on accident) to make things run smoother in windows though.. i thought it could be my video card driver, so downloaded this: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_77.72.html If you download that and open it and leave it at the first screen, things will run fine (at least they did for me). This is very weird, though. I'm also running an Athlon XP +1xxx(forgot for the moment). VIA mobo as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+StevoFC MVC Posted August 1, 2005 MVC Share Posted August 1, 2005 those computers are pretty bad to be running it. that could be the problem. remember this doesn't come out till atleast the end of next year. so it is made for the newest hardware out now.

donggo Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 very unusual imo while sitting there trying to move the mouse around properly a baloon popped up from the systemtray saying "your pc is not protected against viruses" or something (no network card so i'm not getting any viruses from anywhere) as soon as the baloon popped up the mouse movement was 100% smooth like it should be.. until i right clicked on the baloon tip to make it go away then once again it ran just how dacbo said.. like a game with the settings up too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem I have is that I had 3 NIC cards laying around and Vista doesnt have drivers for any of them (Kingston, 3Com and Intel) :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejohnnyq Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I have seen the same thing, P4-2.2 1 gig ram, Toshiba Sat-1955. Ran XP great, Vista runs good for a while then slows down, 2-3 hours. I filed a bug report on this this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzen Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hi all I'm having the same problem. I think its in a debugging mode. To test this, after its loaded the desktop and background services etc. If you dont move the mouse or touch the keyboard, does the hard-drive stop ??? And then when you move the mouse, the hard-drive should start writing data. This is because, it might be writing every detail to a debug file, including mouse position movements etc. Its just a thought. There is a checked/debug version out. Do you have this version? Anyone know how to disable this mode?? Any help ----- BTW, if you boot in safe mode, is it muchh much faster??? Its only a theory I have :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacbo Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 my computer will hapily run most modern games at medium settings so i cant see why that should be the problem for windows being so jerky i tried updating video drivers but that didnt work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveMasterT Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 report the problems to MS. it's probably driver related, or something of that sort. you might wanna wanna try another install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticktron Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I am getting one of my svchost processes tying up 100% CPU. I kill it, but it starts leaking again. I looked at the list of tasks and there are quite a few services packed in their, so it's hard to pick out the root cause. I suspect it might be the AudioServ (Windows Audio) service.
