your BIOS is probably not the reason why your computer's performance has dropped down...

not at all, your specs are fine... i wish i had that rig a year ago... LOL

it's probably your OS that's slow... Windows tends to do that after a while... LOL

a clean install of WinXP would probably solve the problem...

Re: Some help please.

Thanks mate , I dont think a format will happen As mostly the HDD has avi files , demo files from games. I was making a frag movie and my pc just became uber slow. I use Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup regularly. The report i get from VolumeC.txt a recent one.
Well it looks awfull lol. It maybe just the HDD on its way out , the pc is old had this now almost 8 years with a few upgrades here and their.

Re: Some help please.

try Knoppix, it's a mini Linux bootable from a CD, you can delete only the system folders of XP (like C:\Wondows, C:\Program Files, etc...) and leave your .avi files intacted...

you can also backup your data with it to some other folder, or other patition...

Re: Some help please.

If the slowdown was sudden and unexpected I would also suggest checking for virus/worm/spyware since it could also be a possible cause of a system slowdown.

good luck.

Also don't forget to tune it, I think you can still find the driverheaven 1.5 tuner somewhere.
