There could be a number of things affecting a computer performance as it ages, here's a list. Recent drivers installed Some times you can have drivers that degrad performance, just make a note if you recetly updated any hardware drivers and if not dont worry about it then. New Hardware recently installed If you installed any new Hardware recently then you need to check and make sure its compatible with current hardware and make sure it is not causing any problems Hard drive HD failing - if your computer HD is failing you will notice a huge performance decrease followed by clicking noises depending on the severity. I would suggest check with your hard dirve company and see if they have any diagnostics tools to check HD health. HD too full - If your hd is full over eighty percent capacity. I would suggest clean up and make room on it. Windows Ever so often windows just need to be reinstalled, so if its been a couple of years as suggested earlier try doing a complete reformat and clean install. The undeteted Virus Yes when I had a shared computer with my brother and sister ; every so often, I recall geting a virus norton didnt seem to notice at all. I wouldn't suggest trying to manual clean it up yourself because its a pain even when you know the memory names of every single windows resources and programs installed. Just if its a shared computer and you suspect some one visiting unsafe sites or downloading unsafe files. I would just reformat and install windows. Tips for computer troubleshooting Check your windows event log files, look under applications and system and look for anything you see in red or yellow. If you suspect faulty ram do a memory diagnostic Make sure you do not have too many startup programs, If so just go to start menu, under run type in msconfig, uncheck some programs you do not need to upon boot and restart windows.

Hello all Xtreme Idiots members, I will like to introduce myself and start off with saying my name is James. I am from Michigan and started gaming in my early childhood untill present as an adult. I started off playing my first Online First Person Shooter for the PC at the age of 15, and I recall it was Medal of Honor. At that point in time I made very good memories with the Medal of Honor clan .::Co.E:: of Loki's Lair untill it died. Eventually, I would go onto join the military at 18 years of age. From there I had very little time to game online and would remain inactive; untill finally, I was Honorably discharged from active duty military at the year 2010. From then on once I heard BF3 was coming out, I would go on to build a kick ass gaming PC and once more join the ranks of the online gaming community. I would then join the clan HR of BF3 and abruptly soon after the clan would go onto die out. So once more I would find myself as a alone wolf, awaiting ever so patiently for the chance to join a clan with the caliber of my former clan ".::Co.E::". Right now I am a full time student majoring towards Electronic Computer Engineering and soon to be fully ex soldier once I get discharged from the national guard come this month of may. So hopefully soon I can enlist into the ranks of XI and become part of a great team.
