  • Slow System

    From thumper@VERT to All on Tue May 19 09:18:30 2015
    Just curious if anyone who has upgraded to the Win 32 v3.16 has had any problems with their system running VERY slow.... Mine is bad and that's about the only thing I've changed. Just checking before I start looking into possible other problems...

    nope, I was running xp pro with sp3 with all updates & outlook express & trillian & firefox & zoc (ver. 3.??) & avg. (not sure how munch memory I had in it), I had to get a new computer, the main h-d & it's backup h-d was were doing unplanned re-boots, a format job didn't help was still doing it, the new computer is under win. 7 (about the same thing running but there 8 gig in it)

    Mine is bad and that's
    about the only thing I've changed. Just checking before I start looking into possible other problems...

    Did that. Seems to run in cycles. Sometimes fast and then slow. It could be my bandwidth too I guess. Seems my laptop was slow this a.m while on the internet. Googlebots are hitting my system in multiples every second.... I wouldn't think that would be it, but....

    I seem to maybe have found the problem. Mysql was having some dort of
    problem and bogging my system down to a crawl. I shut it down and So far,
    so good.

    From the new installer, or upgraded via CVS? I'm using the latter and since last week sbbs_ctrl has been running at 90+% utilization. I tried a restart, turning sbbs services off, removing other apps, and finally tried turning off Avast antivirus. When I did that, utilization dropped. I added sbbs_ctrl.exe to an exclusion list and it's working fine now.

    Sounds familiar -- If anyone else is running into the same issues, I fixed that once by removing every connector, the memory, and the CPU. Removed all of the dust with a blower and nylon paintbrush, re-pasted the CPU, and reseated the memory and all of the cables.

    Cleaning out the fan of dust quieted it down, the fan was off-balance enough to make it louder.

    If that doesn't do the trick, might be time for a new motherboard or system. :(
