3-turn on you pc without put case.to if fans working will or not(power supply,processor and other fans if installed)

4-try to touch VGA card if hot or not.

4. after WinXP started open Device Manager.

2. Double-click IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers to display the list of controllers and channels.

3-set none (if available) for both.

4-apply reg file I uploaded.

5-restart you pc and tell me if still slow or not.

That's a surefire way of screwing your computer up entirely. Seriously, no advice is better than this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I also like how you need a time machine to follow the instructions in the correct order:

1-2-3-4-4-2-3-4-5



Or you have to carry them out simultaniously: Remove all cards from the PC and use the device manager at the same time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm getting the impression that RYU is always just throwing together random bits and pieces of Google search results for some keywords (like "CPU" and "spike" in this case) through copy & paste without paying attention to the thread and the specific problem at all.

I understand he's trying to be helpful, but in fact, he just continues being counterproductive.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Have you tried just shutting down the nvsvc32.exe process completely (or not autostarting it)?

Back when I still used NVIDIA, I always disabled this service and everything ran fine without it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
