Hi all
I have been having a problem with my laptop just recently.
I remember a while ago posting here asking for help on why my computer was slow.
It turned out that What I had thought was Mozilla Firefox 5. Then when I downloaded firefox 3 my computer went faster again. It eventually went back to being slow and then after a lot of looking and cleaning we found out that there was a problem with the Automatic Updates making my computer slow.
Now after that it wasn't going slow until just recently when I wanted to make some videos from on computer. This computer isn't the best thing to use video software, it only has 35Gigs of Memory but I have a 1Terabyte external hard drive, and I do my best to try to put everything on that..
Recently, my laptop has decided to slow down again, especially while video making. Last night I was forced to restart my laptop about 20 times within the past 2 hours, since it kept on making everything slow.
Now whenever my laptop freezes, it would work properly for the first 20 minutes, then it would log up, even if I had barley any programs open, and then it would slow down to a complete stop. Sometimes it did this so frequently that it would be impossible to use, and sometimes it would even make it's own beeping sounds, (loud"Doot!"s)
This however, has always been the case with this laptop.
Just today, my computer slowed down within the first 20 minutes of use again and however, it began to make these really strange high pitched beeping sounds, some that I have not heard of before.
My laptop is an Acer TravelMate 290, here are some specs.
System
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
Computer Intel (R) Premium (R) M
Processor 1500Mhz
599MHz, 496 MB of RAM.
Last time I checked, it wasn't malware.
Both me and my dad are scratching our heads over this stupid thing! Any or assistance would be gladly appreciated. Thanks.
