*cries*

Not sure why, my PC "Frankie" is going slooooooooooooooow as hell and freezing up. I haven't had ANY problems with it, up until just today, while trying to get on it after work.

I did my CA protection updates, ran a scan, it's all clean, I don't have stupid shit on the hard drive that would cause harm, so I'm COMPLETELY baffled. Try to get on to Firefox or even the shitty as hell Internet Explorer and it starts hiccuping and locking up.

I'm using the laptop right now to type this up, in case you're wondering.

I can get to my C drive and am slooooooooooooooooooowly trying to delete music and video files I no longer, to see if that helps any.

I checked the Task Manager, and it reads that I'm running somewhere around 55 processes, even when I have nothing running and am just sitting on the desktop. I know there is something called Tea Timer running ( it's a bot which runs with Spybot Search and Destroy ), which hasn't been running properly ( doesn't want to close properly when I go to shut the machine down for the night ). I don't know that that has anything to do with it.

The machine isn't left on at ALL during the day, while I'm away at work, as I don't like over heating anything or running electricity when it's not needed ( saving on our electric bill as much as we can here ). I'm at a loss for thought.


Wondering if it's the processor, like the computer down in the kitchen.


I don't like it.


Just had to hard boot it again ( flip the power switch on the back of the machine ), had it go to the sign in screen and shut the machine down from there. I'll let it rest for about a half hour, then we'll see.

But dammnit, I'm going to have to ask Dad to take a look at it, and I HATE asking him for any kind of help with anything. HATE IT.


( EDIT )

Dad thinks it may be the hard drive going. It wasn't a brand new hard drive when he gave it to me, so he thinks that with all of the stress I've been putting on the machine ( artwork, music, movies, burning files onto CD's, etc ), it's putting too much work on the hard drive, so we'll have to transfer all of my files ( again ) to a new hard drive, and re-install all of my programs again. Hopefully Illustrator won't give me problems. The new ( legally purchased ) Adobe programs seem to love giving users problems if they're on more than one machine.
