Errr.. i have one question to ask u guys... currently I'm using bitdefender prof 9 and zone alarm internet security suite 2006. ZA security suite has its own antivirus as well but I prefer to use bitdefender coz ZA takes a long time to scan ur files and that lags my pc so much... For instance I play The Sims2.. it scanned like crazy but when i use bitdefender.. it scans also but very fast... Can i know.. can this be done as in deactivate ZA's antivirus and use Bitdefender's ones.. ? Will this still cause a conflict in my system?

Last time I also did this to my old system but no probls at all.. and yes.. i've installed some programs that's provided in my mobo's cd...

Thanks everyone.. i've fixed my problem edi.. i have to upgrade my hdd's firmware from maxtor.. few batches of maxtor hdd (diamond max 10) having incompatibility problem with nforce 4 series mobo... that's why my system cache's taking so much of ram.. data corruptions occur between my mobo and hdd.. need more time to find the data i need..

Hmm.. just go type msconfig in the "run" then disable what u dont want to start up with ur computer. That would help.

ya, he is correct.... bcoz when v doing stuff using pc, all data will goto RAM 1st then HDD.. if there is conflict btw HDD to other part such as mobo or Ram, it will take longer time to store and retrieve data....

Atlantis, try upgrade all the firmware of ur mobo and HDD. n oso pls check out did ur RAM can support ur mobo properly o not. u can check it out on the RAM manufacturer website o other source...
