Boot up process is slower than normal and when XP is up and running,
performance is incredibly slow and the signal to the LCD display that I have
comes and goes while the desktop periodically freezes.
I have tried restoring to 1 and 2 weeks ago when performance was previously
fine, however this fails to rectify the problem.
I have done virus scans and run spybot - both are clean.
Computer runs ok in safe mode so I have been able to back up files.
Any pointers anyone - should I just go for a full reformat - it has been 2
years since I have done so.
I have 1GB ram, AMD 3500 CPU and gigabyte motherboard.
I have tried connecting another monitor (CRT) that I have and the problem
remains - so evidently it is not the LCD.
Any ideas anyone - I have been unable to find anything on the net or in the
XP knowledge base to date.
