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.

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
