Issue after boot

Nisne · 10-01-2009, 12:12 PM

I had took my side panel off and cleaned all the dust out i had to remove the hard drive for a minute to get to a clog of dust. anyways i hooked it all back up normal and booted

As soon as it hit the vista Logo that lights up it started being laggy like the music and the animation

Along with the startup programs and icons on my desktop could barely load

when all startup programs loaded i opened up task manager and seen

I have it open as i type this and i keep looking on my side and its surging up and down to full whenever i do something.

Is this normal or did i do something wrong. im just about to de-frag the hard drive for the heck of it. could that do anything?

Specs:

AMD Dual core @ 2.10ghz
2gb ram
160gb hard drive

Make sure everything is connected correctly in the case, all connectors are firmly inserted, and the RAM, cards and heatsink fan are locked into position.

If you removed the heatsink while you were cleaning, did you reapply some new thermal paste?
