Barbs2, do understand that every computer issue is unique in its own way. Every condition makes a difference in the solution. You have a unique issue which is not simple to diagnose --- especially the first time. I'm not going to feed into your childish activity by arguing with you. Just remember though, everyone here works for free, and nobody wants to help a guest with an attitude. I suggest practicing some "humbility" before you make your next post. Every move we make determines what happens next. Would you rather me not be thorough and "mess something up"? Think on that one and give us a shout when you try Starjax's solution.

OK

The issues iīve made maked my cpu performance get better about 15%, but still it doesnīt work no way near like before.

I was thinking i started to notess this issues more when i've installed microsoft Office 2007 could this have something to do with it?

Still canīt understand why i canīt record DVD more than 1xspeed, and why my graphic card shows a very low performance compared with before

There haven't been any electrical storms just before these strange things started happening, right? Power outages?

as to the video issue, I suspect that you need to update your gart driver (related to chipset drivers). Nvidia drivers after the 78.xx require an updated gart driver to work properly.

Items in blue which are underlined are clickable to give more information about the process

Download and install Everest Home Edition

Run the program, click + next to computer then summary

Look on the Left for Motherboard / Chipset.

Look at the manufacturer’s site for the suitable drivers for your Operating System


If you are unsure please post the make and model here before you download anything. I will glad to provide the correct link/instructions.

Please set a system restore point before you install anything
