Off Topic / Re: Help - Entire computer is lagging. New harddrive possibly the cause.

« on: November 12, 2013, 07:15:56 PM »

So someone who knows better than me can say if it's the power supply not being strong enough, the motherboard not being adaptable, etc.

Although I've had two other drives attached and this problem didn't occur. I had another of this current harddrive, and the only problems only affected the drive itself and not the entire system. Same with the last harddrive. I have to get both replaced, and right now I'm using the first's replacement, which seems to be slowing me.

I'm sure there isn't special harddrive connections on the motherboard. As for BIOs settings, anything in specific to look for? I'd rather not leave the forum just to stare at information I don't understand and possibly break the computer settings somehow, preventing me from returning to ask more questions.

Edit: Avast just finished. The only infected file was a false-positive. Took it an hour for just the quick scan.

Since this is also lagging my entire computer (The only reasons I was considering network is 1: The internet was coming in slow, but process monitor was registering higher. 2: I've had lag due to routers doing crazy stuff before.), it is probably my new harddrive, right? It started up slow when we first put it in, yesterday I was getting pretty slow, and now it is utterly unbareable. I have 4GB of RAM, my main drive is 1TB, and this new one is 2TB.

I've been running a virus scan. I want a program that specifically finds what is using my connection, because clearly something is. It could be a broken service or something which all I need to do is toggle. Besides that, I'm having other issues that a full virus scan would make trouble.

This started at a random time and I doubt it has to do with a virus. In any case, a program to specifically identify network and general system issues would likely find any software causing it. Otherwise it's hardware. I need help to check.

The past two days my internet has been horrible, and I've also noticed lagging in general with my mouth, visuals, etc. Meanwhile in Process Monitor, I'm apparently getting over 1MB/s when all my programs can barely get to 180kb/s at the very best (Downloading on Steam, playing a simple online game, and three messengers I'd estimate at 700kb/s or something). I also noticed in Task Manager, "System" would max CPU for one of my cores at random (25% of overall CPU). Something is up, and I need a tool to diagnose what's slowing me down.

Edit: I had a new harddrive installed yesterday. We noticed the computer was running pretty slowly after. Today it is unbearable. The mouse lags around, programs barely start. I tried using Windows' Event Viewer and it failed to work. I also tried checking the main directory of my C: drive, and it said no files were there until I clicked away and back in. Everything is lagging out, bugging out, and while the harddrive is the easy solution, I need specifics.

That's the problem with petition websites. Something happens, 50 petitions for the same thing come up, and if you want to take it the same way as legal matters, you can't just go merging votes. Wordings could be different, lending to slightly different ideas, and everyone would have to agree again. Then you could have dumb reasons like hating the original person to submit or something. And simply removing petitions and redirecting to revote is also a conflict, especially since people aren't as likely to return to place their voice.

well excuse me for not replying after 2 hours of the post

Just saying, you gave a screenshot, and it didn't come to mind the screamers would be local to YouTube, so I didn't consider the most obvious. xD Sorry.

There wasn't this before?

You had to be JUST smart enough to figure out how to fix the URLs. The spam was limited in space and down to spambots which we all came to know and hate. Now we have giant ASCII pictures, limited by those expand buttons, yes, but then those are even traps.

Oh wow, I spent like... wow, an hour and 10 minutes trying to figure that out because all you gave was the screenshot. It's 10x simpler than I thought it was:

I knew about YouTube Video Links becoming the video title, but it didn't hit me to just name videos that text. I'm stupid, although it'd have helped to have an example. x-x I mean, I didn't expect the screamers to be local to YouTube - I expected off-site.

Another Blocklander showed me this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRZvF42uTAc

Go to the comments and sort by newest. My first time seeing this, but Google+ shares show up as comments now. Literally appears the same way as a comment, but no text. That dumb. And that was a share from last month, too... Well, comments were in beta back then probably.

Guys people are getting evil:

"expand this comment" leads to a screamer

Can you link that comment for us? I want to test the page code and see how. You're saying that is literally a screamer link? That would need some url formatting, and I'm interested to figure that out.

Edit2: As the new title says: Are "diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma" and "diffuse pontine glioma" the same? Just want to make sure before I go saying definitions. They seem to be, but who knows what implications one word could have to a meaning...

Edited topic. I'm unsure of wording a sentence in relation to cancer.
