Having some problems with my pc

[Sniper33]

Hello, recently I've had some issues with my computer. For the most part it works just fine, but some times it runs real bad so I reboot it to clean it up some. Bu now when the pc restarts it stays on the windows screen for a longer period of time. Then sometimes after that it goe into a blue screen to check the files. That usually lasts awhile. When doing it last night before bed it seemed alright, but when I checked it on the morning before work it was stuckat 8 percent.

I restarted it and got it to the desktop, tried to defrag it but it said it couldn't do to a shedueled chk disk. So I restarted it to have it scan while I was at work, well I got back and it was stuck at zero percent this time. Not really wanting to lose my pc, but bit sure how to get it to stop this every reboot.

Hopefully, he'll be able to lend some help. (I don't know enough about computers unfortunately.)

download CCleaner and do an advanced clean up... you'll be suprised at how much Crap it will Clean up...

I got this from the SockNom himself...

How long has it been since Windows was installed?

You know you can skip those check disc operations when it starts up right?

I'll try that out when I get back home. I can get to the desktop if o push a key within a time frame before it starts scanning.

 

[mr.thrifty]

Don't forget to remember all your passwords and the like. it will clear it all out.

I'd try reinstalling windows after CCleaner, if that doesn't work your harddrive will need replacing most probably.

If you get a new harddrive partition it to a C and D:drive, put all your programs on C, and movies, music, games and all other downloads on D. That way you can reformat your C: drive and keep everything on the D:drive untouched and in place.

CCleaner is da shat. Sometimes I like to go a few weeks to a month without using it just to see how much junk it will find.

I've never used it. I'm afraid CCleaner will clean out something I don't want it to clean out.

Is this what I want?

Skiman should tell him to buy a Mac.

Your hard disk may be on the verge of failing. I would suggest running a disk diagnostic utility. Most disk vendors have these for free.

BTW, is it a notebook??? If it is, there could have been physical damage to the drive that caused the bad sectors

Flashing the BIOS could cause this too, if you just did this, reFlash put the original BIOS settings on.

Also, if you wanted to get another drive, put this current drive as slave and the new drive as the master so the master drive is used for booting the computer

Macs eat his dumb muscles alive and he knows it. Then when macs are done with them I pee on his guns.

I use Ace Utilities.

I've read a lot about "peeing on his guns" in recent posts here lately. Ski must have really shaken things up here since I've been gone.

Yep, it's free. I've done the advanced one a couple times and it will clear all your cookies, passwords, user names, favorites order but not the names or links. if you've never done it before it will take a bit but you'll be happy in the end.

 

[Sniper33]

Just wondering, does the ccleaner erse bookmarks as well?

If you mean "favorites" then no. it did put them all in alphabetical order though and I had to rearrange them again.

You can choose what to clean and not clean with CCleaner. It will also clean up registry stuff. Used it for years now, never had a problem.
