PerfectlySaneXD Posted December 2, 2023 Author ID:1602807 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I did the diagnostic and reset the time, but...no change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSntgRvr Posted December 2, 2023 ID:1602844 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I would first remove AVG from the computer and test. If that won't work, it may be due to hardware issues, such as a Clock Battery. If it isn't hardware, an in-place upgrade may resolve the issue.

PerfectlySaneXD Posted December 3, 2023 Author ID:1602926 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I've had AVG for years, so I doubt that's the problem...maybe I didn't explain it well, but the clock slows down because the computer itself slows down. When it becomes unresponsive, the clock also freezes. When it suddenly starts to work again, the clock will snap to the correct time as the computer tries to catch up and do the last action you attempted. That's why I had such a hard time running those tests and such, because the computer can't seem to do anything for very long. It takes hours to do simple things. I have no idea what happened...

JSntgRvr Posted December 3, 2023 ID:1602951 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Try to remove programs you no longer use. Then perform a Clean Boot on Windows VISTA. Follow the instructions on the following link. How to Clean Boot Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista? (manageengine.com) Test the computer on a Clean Boot and see if it improves. If it does, you will need to troubleshoot the installation by selecting Services or applications running in the background disabled during the Clean boot. Select these services and applications on groups, until you have identified the service or application producing the issue. As far as Malware, I see no issues in the computer. Keep me posted.

PerfectlySaneXD Posted December 4, 2023 Author ID:1603103 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Well, today the computer is getting stuck at the motherboard boot screen and won't even load windows or let me do anything, so it may be related to RAM or something like that. Thank you for your help, but I will likely have to take it somewhere to be fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution JSntgRvr Posted December 4, 2023 Solution ID:1603104 Share Posted December 4, 2023 It is likely hardware related. Thank you for contacting Malwarebytes for your computer issues. Regards 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
