Here goes another annoying tech question:
For the past three months, my laptop has been show as fucked fuck. It's a Vaio with an 1.7 Pentium M and a gig of ram. I've already done the standard slow down check-list of spyware check, virus scan, HDD defrag, HDD diagnostic, RAM diagnostic, removed bloat from registry, slimmed down process list, CCleaner'd, and made sure that the CPU power management settings didn't get changed somehow. I tried doing XP's system restore but it didn't have any restore points saved from before the computer started acting up.
SO, I'm about to wipe everything and restore it to factory out-of-the-box setting (Nuke it from orbit.. It's the only way to be sure). Before I do this, any ideas?
