idk if anyone remembers, but im constantly trying to fix problems with my computer, which is in turn constantly doing something wrong.
ok so this time, i didnt download anything, so there is no kind of virus or anything. my computer has been running kind of strange lately. when its on, it works fine, but sometimes when we turn it on nothing will happen. the computer itself will power on, but nothing else will. nothing connected works (keyboard, monitor, mouse, etc...). so basically the computer is physically on, but its not. it used to happen sporadically but lately it has been happening almost every time we turn the computer off. after maybe 30 mins of not working, sometimes i will restart it again and it will work. once its running, its fine.
but getting to the real problem; i was rendering something in 3dsmax overnight. the render was gonna take about 5 hours, since the lighting was fairly complex. this morning when i got to the computer, the render was done and everything seemed fine, except the computer was still running very slowly. i restarted it (with the restart thing, not just turning it on and off.) about an hour ago, it blue screened when it was just sitting there.
i restarted it and it worked fine for another 20 mins or so then it blue screened on my mom again. so i restarted it in safe mode, and about 30 mins later it did it again. i have no idea why its doing this, and i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas.
a few things to note. the past few weeks i have been doing entense workloads of stuff in 3dsmax, for a movie a few of my friends and i are making. i re-save files constantly, in case anything messes up, so i dont lose anything. so im note sure if that has anything to do with it. also, the computer has been on for maybe 2 or 3 nights now, because we dont want to have to go through all the trouble of the strange thing when the computer wont start up after its shut down. we have been planning on doing standby mode, but iv been rendering things overnight, so we havnt put it into standby mode overnight yet. im not sure if this has anything to do with it. the computer is fairly old, we got it around 5 or 6 years ago. until lately, it has been running fine however.
im running disk cleanup now, which found like 40,000 kb of temporary files, so im not sure if that has anything to do with it. after running the disk cleanup, im gonna bring a lot of files to our external harddrive, then refrag then diskcleanup again. im just pulling these outta my ass, hoping they will somehow help. anyone have any advice?
(oh yea and i know that i am constantly asking stupid questons about my computer, and always having problems with it then running here for help. sorry if its gotten on anyones nerves lol. but u guys are extremely helpful and i own so many people thanks. so thank you for any help, and sorry about being so bad at using my computer haha)
