PC goes "Not Responding, Freezes, OS is not booting well" and more

[krishnagrammarly]

I have purchased a new laptop, but when I started to use my old PC, RAM died on me.

OLD PC SPECS - Processor - Dual-core E2180, Motherboard Intel 945G, Seagate 80GB HDD, and 1GB Samsung RAM and 1GB Hynix DDR2 RAM.

I did not buy a new RAM and continue.

After, six months, I purchased two 1GB+1GB (Two separate orders) DDR2 RAM from eBay.

Installed fresh Windows 10 32bit & started to use it, But, it did not perform well.

Problems - It works for three to four hours after installation, but it gets slower after 6 hours of installation.

When you RESTART it using the button, it will have startup issues, then it never starts.

I have installed Windows 7, it works slowly and freezes for 10 seconds or 30 seconds.

I have installed Windows 10 Home (64bit) on another Harddisk, performance is still the same.
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) on a different hard disk and it freezes and works slowly.

NOTE: It uses to work smoothly on Windows 7 when I did not have a laptop.

After PaperDoc has suggested me to check the PC using third hard drive, I have installed Windows 10 32bit on Western Digital 80GB HDD (3rd HDD.)

I have read the suggestion on the same day he posted, in the mean time i was testing the HDD. I will test it for next four days, then i will update it.

It is very likely that the HDD in that old PC is failing. At 80 GB capacity, I suspect it is quite old. The slow performance often is caused by frequent read errors that require re-tries before the read succeeds. But eventually even that fails and the system quits. It will make no difference which version of Windows you try to install.

HOWEVER, I see that you have tried also to install Windows on a DIFFERENT HDD. So troubles with the 80 GB unit may not be all of your problems, or might still be involved. That depends on details.

Try these tests. DISCONNECT the 80 GB unit and connect only one of the alternative HDD units with Windows installed on it. Configure the machine (IF necessary) to boot from his HDD. Now there could be two possible results.

If the machine boots and runs smoothly this way, then the problems very likely have been caused by that 80 GB unit. As long as it is installed in your machine, Windows will try to access it, encounter errors that cannot be avoided, and eventually give up because that HDD will not respond properly. This can happen even when you are not trying to boot from the 80 GB unit.

On the other hand, if the machine without the 80 GB unit still misbehaves the same way, there is another cause. It might be the mobo port that the HDD is connected to, or it might be the cable used for the connection, or it MIGHT be that even the second HDD you are using also has problems. For the first possibility, try moving the ribbon cable to the HDD to another mobo port if there is one. For the second possibility, try changing to a different ribbon cable. Fir the third possibility, try installing a different HDD (yes, a third one, if you have one).

These tests should tell you whether the problem is in the 80 GB drive, in the mobo HDD port, in the connecting ribbon cable, or in other HDDs, too. Let us know what you find and maybe we can help further.

I read your suggestion after you posted on this thread from Gmail.The very next day, i have used 3rd HDD, currently, im testing it.

I will test the 3rd 80GB HDD for a while, then i will select your answer as solution ^_^

You've been a great help Grandmaster PaperDoc.
