Alrighty, thanks a bunch. Honestly at this point I think I might just have to reinstall windows, though. Such a pain but this problem is pretty well hidden. Hope you can find a better solution.

I would rather see you run the windows repair utility to see if there are any irregulars with your installation before you decide to reinstall the operation system.

Do you have any extra hardware at your disposal that can be tested with?

How do I go about REPAIRING registry keys?

I had a guy come in awhile ago and clean up my computer.. he removed pctools and installed avg. Ever since I've had this really annoying pop up shit. It sstarting to really bug me so I decided to clean computer myself. i'm going through my registry right now deleting keys and values, but I don't know what to do with things listed as "Registry value to be repaired". Like.. I have no idea. I can give you full extensions if you need them.

If you provide them I can assist you. If you feel safer about it, PM me the values and extensions.

Yes. I fine tune computers to have them match up for reducing bottleneck on a weekly basis as my side work IRL.

Feel free to ask away for any suggestions or help on a current system or setup you are curious about syncing to maximize performance.

Well, I ended up doing a bunch of stuff that never really worked. I've come up with some new info, though. The computer restarts approximately every 8 hours. A similar problem to this person:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/5d68c306-5ea9-4779-93f1-db3b7b0fabe3

The tech said:

@Shawn: the tech did check the event viewer and made some modifications based on what he saw there, but since I'm not a pro in this arena I can't be sure what events he saw that were of concern.

It would seem the resolution to this problem can be found by using the event viewer. So, any suggestions on what to look for in the event viewer?

edit: So I have some errors in event viewer that are spaced roughly 8 hours apart.

It begins with:

volmgr : Crash dump initialization failed!

Application popup: \??\C:\Windows\SysWow64\drivers\SSHDRV65.sys has been blocked from loading due to incompatibility with this system. Please contact your software vendor for a compatible version of the driver.

Kernel-Processor-power: Performance power management features on processor 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware.

I need to know when you first started experiencing this problem, as well as your RAM and HDD. More specific is better.

perhaps you could reflect a bit on why my new computer runs sc2 worse than my old comp? it's really strange, because most games run a lot better...

I ran some diagnostics with performancetest on both computers. So the new computer runs better on everything except memory read/write speeds and disk read/write speeds, and 2D graphics. But are these important for sc2? I couldn't imagine why...

I also thought maybe it was a temperature problem. Looks like the high temps are "tmpin2" also known as "power/aux temperature" (different monitoring software, different names) which is at 86 degrees after boot; and the gpu core temperature runs at ~80 deg (whether gaming or not). These seem to be on the verge of being too high... but not ridiculously high. I managed to increase the gpu fan speed setting from the catalyst control panel, but it doesn't actually increase the monitored fan speed (arg wtf). none of this, of course, explains why the new comp does run most games (except sc2) better.

so, at this point I'm at a loss as to what's the next thing to check, or the best path to upgrade. your thoughts?

Hey, I just installed W7 on my cousins computer and everything is perfect except for sound. Windows installed the drivers by itself but no sound was being played, so I did it myself and the same thing is occuring. It is set as the default playback device, and when I play anything with sound I can see the level picking up sound, but any headset,headphones,speakers I plug in.. I can't hear anything. Any suggestions?

The audio driver just says High Definition Audio Device

In what situations is it running 'worse'?

If it's overall, let me know.

Eh quick question that is probably not relevant
-CPU is at 50% > constantly even when completely idle
-Process called NT Kernel & System
-Reformatted but problem still there
-Doesn't cause any performance issues or overheating (to my knowledge) but i don't know how to fix it.

Are you absolutely sure this is causing no problems?

This is barring any questions or problems that are already posted in this thread:

At this point in time I would like to redirect you to Team Liquid's Technical Support Forum. With a board dedicated to fixing problems and computers and all that nice stuff, I feel that a blog such as this is more or less unnecessary. If you currently have a query in here and reply to it, I will gladly answer, otherwise, please direct your questions on to that forum. Thank you!
