recently my computer has been playing up it is running ridicuosly slow or sometimes doesn't load up programs are "not responding" often and i keep getting the error messages with the send and dont send options most speaking about some sort of windows 32 problem.

all my games work besides cod 4 it will simply crash and give me the send/ dont send error message.

the sound stops working often it will run during 1 game then i will quit to play another and there is simply no sound

whenever i watch a video on the computer (avi file) the color is gone and it is replaced by a horrid green tinge

i have tried a system restore and multiple virus scans including anti malware and still no fix i would like to avoid re- imaging

any suggestions i would realy apreticate it guys

not sure, it sounds a bit iffy, checked temps on your system? Something may run hot.

Might be a Ram problem aswell, altho it sounds rather odd.

So try checking your ram, and see if any temps are too high, If you have not done that.

Since you scanned with different virus scanners I will dismiss that option (atleast for now)

Oh and if you havent allready done this, then try posting this in the hardware section, they are far more capable at these things.

If it was me I would just do a wipe and a clean install, but I have no patience for slow computers.

They could be different symptons:

recently my computer has been playing up it is running ridicuosly slow or sometimes doesn't load up programs are "not responding" often and i keep getting the error messages with the send and dont send options most speaking about some sort of windows 32 problem.

Try chkdsk /R

all my games work besides cod 4 it will simply crash and give me the send/ dont send error message.

Try chkdsk /R


the sound stops working often it will run during 1 game then i will quit to play another and there is simply no sound

Try chkdsk /R


whenever i watch a video on the computer (avi file) the color is gone and it is replaced by a horrid green tinge

This could be a codec problem

i have tried a system restore and multiple virus scans including anti malware and still no fix i would like to avoid re- imaging

any suggestions i would realy apreticate it guys

Please move this to the Hardware forum where it belongs.
