I have had my laptop for over a year now and I have ran it till it is close to death. I have had a crash once... and restored it.. But anyway back on topic. My boot lasts 6:34 min (Soluto results) My computer freezes when I play Habbo in Firefox or I am rendering video in Sony Vegas. My computer statistics are: 100gb out of 250 free (hdd), AMD Athlon Duel Core processor 2 GHz, 2GB of ram, and I am running Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium.. I use CCleaner, Soluto, and Norton Utilities to keep my disk clean of Temp files and Internet Files... still my computer freezes often... Help? I run Norton 360, Malware Bytes, and Super AntiSpyware for protection. (not at the same time of course)
Too many applications running in the background with too much RAM needed for either the game and Vegas. You're running out of RAM quickly.
lolololololoololo Ok but seriously, even if you don't run them at the same time, Having three Antivirus software running in the background is a recipe for disaster. Also, vista is an under optimized piece of crap, It's going to choke up whole gig of your RAM, and Norton is a Memory/CPU hog also. in conjunction your probably losing a ton of Performance
I run SV and the game separately... I kill the processes before moving on.. One problem is that FireFox uses 158mb of ram just for the plug in container.. (IE: Flash, WMP, etc) along with the other 160mb it uses for the browser itself... but I still don't get how it slows down with only 318mb out of 2gb being used extra... Without the browser running... it uses 34% of the 2gb : 680mb +318= 998mb... but it jumps from 34% to 87% and I don't know why... It should be close to 50% usage.. :l I have one screwed up computer.. But Norton doesn't specify in Spyware and Malware removal.. I had to use Malware Bytes to get rid of infected registry entries and files after I installed a toolbar... What else can I do? Edit: I want to get Windows 7 and more ram but I cannot afford it.. (parents make me buy everything myself) Anyway... Norton is the best antivirus I have had so far... None other compares... PC World has proven it. besides... Norton doesn't use that much RAM when it isn't running a scan.. 35 mb at the most.
