hi, i had my GF's computer working all fine until she started messing with it. i have all the updates installed. it normally froze when i tried to run the Windows Update Site. next i had a svchost.exe processor giving 50% to 99% CPU Usage. now that doesn't happen i don't believe but for some reason when i was talking to her through Yahoo messenger the computer just froze and she had to restart the computer again.

idk... the issue maybe Drivers or Hardware. heck... maybe even OS.

Specs. on her computer

Windows Xp Professional Sp2 (All updates Installed)

Intel Celeron 500mhz

320MB SDRAM Slot one:64MB Slot two:256MB

Western Digital 28.6GB HDD

Onboard Intel 810 11MB but the current latest drivers say 32MB Onboard??!!! weird and odd :huh:

please help me somebody

Note: right before we headed to her house with the computer i tested it one more time and it took a long time for the Windows Update site to detect or scan the hardware but it never finished and it didn't freeze up. normally as i seen the computer freeze with a matter of 10min. or so. also i think this freezing up issue started when i installed FireFox :hmmm:

Golemn, i installed Xp because i knew it would contain the drivers for everything and that including Sound, Graphics, Etc.

i know FireFox is a Memory hog and i may go with Maxthon which is a step-up to IE7 and IE6. Maxthon in my days of using that browser had good low system memory usage. i've seen people in these forums and i know people who have Xp on low end system such as my GF's and all seem to run fine they say. i am going to upgrade to 512MB later and there ius nothing wrong with 320MB of RAM on Xp. runs fine. just an issue with the IDE cables or some other cable touching or moving around in the case. that can be fixed with me easily going over there and moving them around.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
