hey, just wondering, is there anyway to restart OS by itself?
sorry, a little technoob here =X

oh ya, virus wil help u restart your com itself
-
as in not restart -.-
i just got "inspired"
cause when i uninstalled the avast!, it just restarted my OS, and it didn't take up much time.
so i was wondering if restarting OS alone can "cure" lag -

is because
maybe your programs using too much memory resources...thats why will lag -
no lah.
cause sometimes after i play dota, after some time, computer will lag =X

if u suspect that your com have virus, jus open up the task manage and look at the processing percent.
usually it will jus b 0 to 5 percent.
if u are doing nothing and it gets ard 50 or more, then scan your com -
O.O
i don't suspect that my computer has a virus
lol! what made you think that? -
hmm, so there's no way to manually restart the OS?

I highly doubt that you can "restart the OS".Originally posted by wrexham:hmm, so there's no way to manually restart the OS?
I can hardly even guess what you meant by that phrase.
But if you want a faster computer, you can defrag your computer. -
Nope to your question about lagginess of a PC.Originally posted by wrexham:hey, just wondering, is there anyway to restart OS by itself?

However, when you restart the PC without shutting down, it's called a warm boot, and it will be faster.
If you shut down the PC, turns off the power, turns it back on, it's called a cold boot, and things will be slightly slower.
You can, however, restart a PC automatically. I have files for that, using the restart program in Windows. I won't recommend that, lest you click on it accidentally and say bye bye to your unsaved work. -
U dun to restart the PC just beuz your PC is Lag. The reason for it is becuase;
1) Memory not enough - Go and check your memory size and what type of memory you're using. Then upgrade your Memory maybe to 1 GB, but depend on your M/B whether it can support up to 1GB, 2GB or 4GB.
2) Too many applications are running at startup - Like MSN, QQ, ICQ software usually will pop up when your PC boot to Windows. This will takeup quite alot of your memory and thus slow down your PC.
Hope it happens.
Best Regards. -

The reason why it started up faster after uninstalling your antivirus is because your computer has one less startup program to deal with. To startup faster, just disable unnecessary programs from starting up with the OS.
Restarting will reduce a little lag cos the ram will be cleared, but it's insignificant. Adding more ram helps more. -
it's not that -.- its just thatOriginally posted by chanff8:The reason why it started up faster after uninstalling your antivirus is because your computer has one less startup program to deal with. To startup faster, just disable unnecessary programs from starting up with the OS.

my computer just restarted, but not the normal restart, the icons disappeared, the wallpaper remained, it seemed "restarted" =O -

when u play dota.. it laggs because ur system memory isn't enough.. and partly because ur video card is not good enough.. my p3 com 500MHz with 320mb ram doesn't lagg when i play dota multiplayer up to 4 playersOriginally posted by wrexham:no lah.

Is your program for auto 'ghost' restart a freeware? If so i would like top know more about it. And cold warm boot yes it will take a little longer for things to load if its right from cold. Restart will be just like Chanff8 wrote. It helps resetting the ram. As for games i agree with most others on the appropriate processor (multi-core even better) type, more faster ram and better graphics card if DOTA is indeed that power demanding.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Nope to your question about lagginess of a PC.

I can also suggest getting a good server board and the registered, buffered ECC rams with it. With Error Correction Code, you do not have the shut down the PC to ragain ram and reset the errors or dump accumulated after prolonged computer running or usage. The error-correction code manges all that and keeps the server board and system running error free at the ram. -

Comes bundled with Windows. restart.exe in C:\Windows\System32
You can write a batch file to automate restart after using the PC for some time, but I don't recommend it.
