slow computer

Yumna A. · Guest

I had to format my computer a few days ago, the cause was because I had been
playing a game and the computer froze and I had to restart the computer. When
it came to the screen where you have windows XP written and there is a tab at
the bottom with blue lights coming and going, a blue screen came with an
error message though I do not remember what it said. I tried every possible
way to turn the computer on, I even tired it on safe mode but the blue screen
still appeared and I had to format the computer. After it was formatted every
time I tried inserting a backup Cd , the same blue message appears which says
'bad_pool_header' and I end up having to restart the computer. yesterday,
when I restarted the computer after trying to download apple QuickTime
player, it took an extremely long time to restart the system...the rest of
the system is perfectly fine; it isn't slow or picky and the desktop appears
quickly, however, when i restart or hibernate the computer, it does so very
slowly. Before, it did not take this long (about 2 minutes) and it always
hibernated quickly before.

Please help!

Hi Yumna:

If you formatted your hard disk, re-installed your copy of Windows, and
saw that STOP error the very first time you started your computer after
installing Windows - before you installed any other software - then your
problem is faulty hardware.

Is that in fact what happened?

Please post a copy of the complete Stop Error Report.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the
My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

Also provide copies of all Error or Warning Reports appearing about
the time the error occurs. Information Reports are not needed.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click for further information. You can copy using copy
and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further
information.
http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is
a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.
Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the
message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

Hope this helps.

Pacific Bell disclosed this message below, you can no longer hook up at
56Kbps speed, the most will be 33.6 but I operate at 26.4kbps with no hopes
in the future of obtaining high speed internt
City 14.4, 28.8,
33.6 or x2 Modems K56flex, v.90
Modems ISDN LAN ISDN

Dial-In Locations where there are Different 56K and 33.6 Kbps Dial-In Numbers
If you have a modem with 33.6 speeds or less, or if you have an x2
technology 56K modem, you must continue to dial into the current 33.6 Kbps
dial-in number. The reason for this is that our 56K modem pools have been
optimized for K56flex or v.90 modems only. Users who attempt to dial into our
56K modem pool and who do not have a K56flex or v.90 modem will not see
speeds associated with 56K and may experience significant connection and
performance difficulties. Go to the 56K FAQ for help on finding out what kind
of modem you have.
