hi frnds

just few month back only i bought a second hand computer i am not
that much good in computer hardware knowledge. task bar manger is not
working , and in the same time processing speed is very low few times
i rebooted and many times formated but still i am facing the same
problem .

so i would be thankful if anyone let me know what is the problem with
the computer and how to trouble shoot it

Run the following three programs:

1) http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

This is the file to download.
http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-141.zip

Unzip the program and double click on "cpuz.exe".
Wait about 30 seconds - the program is slow to start.
When the CPUZ window appears, click the "About" tab.
Next, click the "HTML dump" button. Save the file "CPUZ.htm".
Open the file with your web browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox)
Copy the text from the window, into a new posting.
The information captured, records your CPU speed, memory speed etc.

2) Download HDTach from here. This will test your disk drive by doing
read operations.

http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/index.php?request=HdTach

Run the benchmark on your disk drive. Note on the web page, that
the disk speed is a sloped line. Record the starting and ending
values of the line from the test, in your new posting. A typical
value would be 60MB/sec at the beginning, and 40MB/sec at the end
of the test (if the disk is in DMA mode). If the disk is in PIO
mode, the curve will be a flat line, starting and ending at about
4MB/sec (very slow).

You can use the "Quick Bench" option, then click "Run Test". The
test will take a couple minutes.

3) Download the SuperPI benchmark.

http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/super_pi_mod-1.5.zip

Unzip the file. Double click on "super_pi_mod.exe"

Click "Calculate" in the upper left of the menu bar.
Select "1M" or 1 million digits as the size of the test
to run. Next, you'll see a "Now start to calculate..." dialog.
Click OK and wait about 2 minutes or less. The last line, the
one containing the words "PI value output", has the benchmark time
in seconds for the test and is the number to record. 1 million
digits will have "20 loops" in total, and the time for the last
loop is the benchmark time.

The result is a time in seconds, to calculate the mathematical
constant PI to 1 million digits. This is used as a benchmark.
On my P4 3.15GHz processor, with two sticks of DDR400 RAM, this
runs in 44 to 48 seconds, depending on the background load on
the computer. My antivirus software makes the test 4 seconds slower.

Put the results of the three tests in a new posting and send it
to us. This is what my results look like:
