Hi Guys....Ive been reading for a couple hours on here and other sites...seeing if someone had some similar problem. Ive attached a .GIF imagine of my specs from your program "speccy". I've also attached the txt version of it but i thought that was hard to read all compressed...if you need more details i can post another pic...i left out my extra details of my hard drive and optical drives and network. Sorry im being so detailed. Just trying to make this easy as possible to diagnose.
To my Question: I've been trying to clean my computer up and using all these different cleaners and background registry sweepers. My computer was just bogged down...I came across this program that monitored my cpu/video card temperatures....speeds of all my fans...total of 6.(thats video card/cpu/power/ fan included). I was reading tutorials on the program how you can speed up/down different parameters....well i accidentally clicked the wrong thing when watching hockey...and my computer automatically just shut down. (i was only doing all this because i couldn't watch youtube for more than 30seconds without my computer shutting down). I tried turning back on...it would get to the win login password and then shutdown again...i dont know if i hit a safe temperature setting where it'd shutdown if it got too hot. Before i did this idiot of a mistake...the temperatures were really bad....i hadn't cleaned my computer in a so long...bought a duster can and cleaned all the fans outs and wow...should've done that along time ago! After all that i was able to start it up in safe mode and uninstalled the program...along with its settings it "said". I've ran dxdiag in my "run" to get my system specs, and everything else is fine...except for some reason it says i only have a 1.09Ghz processor??? I have the receipt still of my computer from years back when i first bought it...that the processor is a AMD Athalon 3200+XP 2.2Ghz....All the different Specs Programs recognize that its a BARTON family chip, the lowest Barton processor is 2500XP+ 1.8Ghz....so ive obviously done something...im scared to take the actually cpu fan off and look at the chip itself. After finding all this out i restarted the computer and went into my bios and just said restore all defaults...dont know if that was a good thing or not?? and then also i did "restart from last known good configuration". So for the last couple days, my computers been running at slow speeds, but not shutting down are overheating...with many programs open and multitasking. Is my bus speed supposed to be maxed out like that??? And in the top left part of the picture the general info of the CPU...there's 2 athalon XP's there, with only 1 being monitored??
I would really appreciate it if you could help me out with some feed back!
Im glad i found this site, reading alot of your reviews have been so helping in just basic maintenance of my computer that i never knew were so important!
Thanks so much
Dylan
