Hi,
My dad pc is old and is slow, the pc specs are:
MOBO asus p5g41tm lx(lga775)
CPU intel 2quad q9800 @3ghz
RAM 8GB (4x2 ddr3)
SSD wd blue 500GB(idk the exact model)
GPU nvidia 750ti palit mini
PSU only God know what it is(techsolo gt730 maybe)
Windows 10 (home or pro, don t remember)
the cooler is overkill for the cpu btw.
The problem probably is the ssd cause it can t go more then a normal hdd, it goes at max 200MB/s.
I can t download things bigger then some giga cause the pc freeze for a while when the bandwith of the disk is full(before it does not happen).
The ssd is connected with a sata 3 I think btw it say the max bandwith is 3gb/s.
The pc in general is thine exept for this problem and another with the net that sometime does not work, it say there is no connection while the modem is connected and also is at 2.5Gb, the cable is ok.
Thanks for who could help me

Solution
The motherboard is 11 years old
the CPU is doing the best it can with 4 cores

the reason PC freezes probably is the speed of transfer an ssd can do overwhelms the CPU.
I had a 4690k before this PC, 4 cores... running scans on my ssd using some programs would take it to 100% usage, so I assume a CPU from 2008 is going to struggle to keep up.

P5G41T-M LX Plus has 1 x PCIe x16 and 1 x PCIe x1 that appear to be PCIe version 1 with a per-lane data rate of 250 MB/s and a transfer rate of 2.5 gigatransfers per second (GT/s). The PCIe 2.0 standard doubles the transfer rate compared with PCIe 1.0 to 5 GT/s and the per-lane throughput rises from 250 MB/s to 500 MB/s.

The motherboard has the Intel ICH7. The ICH7 (Base) chip does not support...

I was able to see the Folder with "ipconfig /all'. However, the results were incomplete plus you scratched out the IP addresses.

Scratching out the IP addresses is not necessary.

FYI:

Public vs Private IP addresses.

You can and should search for other similar links. Hundreds of home and small business networks use the Private IP address ranges.

What you do not want to give out is you Public IP address - provided to the router via the ISP.

= = = =

From what I could see and read the PC does appear to be configured as would be expected.

It does appear that the computer is likely configured with the commonly used 192.168.1.1 Gateway/Router IP address with a subnet of 255.255.255.0

If the Router is using some other IP address then no network connection will be made.

IPv6 is enabled and if not available via your ISP then disable IPv6. No harm in doing so in any case because IPv6 can cause problems on its own.,

I was also looking to see if the pc has two network adapters enabled. I could not tell as the ipconfig /all results were incomplete.

Who has admin rights to the Router? You really need to have that person helping. There are no workarounds.
what mean who is the admin for the router? I just enter and I can do anything, btw the ipconfigall is ok, I m a computer engeneer and I had studied this things plus more(that s why I ve censored almost every nunber).
The problem is not the actual network cause before this I had another one with 2 kind of differents modem and the problem was the same, in the event log there is nothing strange exept the allert I ve posted in the folder.
I think the problem or is at hardware level(may the header is damneged?) or some setting/corrupted files, as I said this pc is old and me teenager and my dad were and still are(my dad) not capable to understand which site can have virus, and pc a lot of time risked to rip cause of it.
It have hit job done so I m happy anyway...

the event viewer item is a DCOM error. Almost every windows 10 PC on earth gets those, they are windows database errors.
what event number does it show

the event mentioning CLSID might be a defender trying to update its signatures, or checking updates.
the id s are 10016 and 1014

If you can enter the router and do anything then you have admin rights to the router.

Look in the router's logs (if available and enabled) for any errors that the router may be capturing.

= = = =

All said and done it may indeed be that that 11 year old computer is having any number of hardware, software, and configuration problems.

May or may not involve the network.

You might fix one thing but that causes another problem. Fixing that problem, in turn, causes still another problem. Which, when fixed, may start the entire loop all over again.

At this time, I am not sure what else to suggest.

fix for 10016 - https://appuals.com/how-to-fix-dcom-error-10016-on-windows-7-8-and-10/
before you change anything in registry, back it up first - https://neosmart.net/wiki/backup-restore-registry/
Don't buy anything from Appuals
1014:
some program is making a DNS querry with a invalid name, it will always return a error for this case and you can ignore it.
just ignore it.
