Ways to save the XP system on the verge of collapse

I often see such problems. My Windows XP (hereinafter referred to as XP) system runs very slowly and often has a blue screen... But I don't want to reinstall the system. Is there any solution? In fact, the system of these readers is already on the verge of collapse. Here are some practical ways to save.

Tips: What is XP like on the verge of collapse?

The system runs at a slower speed. After booting XP, it takes 3-5 minutes from the welcome screen to the desktop. Right click on the desktop and select "Refresh". It will take a long time to see the icons appear one by one. The most obvious feature is that each time you start the system, the dialog box shown in Figure 1 will appear. Blue screen failures occur frequently (excluding hardware failures). Each time you start the computer, you will enter the disk check interface, regardless of whether it was shut down normally.

If your XP system is on the verge of collapse, the general choice at this time is to reinstall the system. In fact, you don't have to reinstall the system, you may still have a system that is alive and kicking. Let me take a look at how to do it!

First, the reason for the system is on the verge of collapse

To eliminate hardware failure, the system is on the verge of collapse as follows:

1. Software conflicts. A piece of software is installed that conflicts with the software already in the system and even conflicts with the system itself.

2. System files are replaced, resulting in system instability. Nowadays, many softwares have modified and replaced system files to achieve certain performance enhancements or personalization effects, but these unofficial system files are not very stable. Ok, it is likely to cause the system to run on the verge of a crash.

3. The registry is confusing. As we all know, the registry is the repository for the configuration information of the Windows system. If the registry information is wrong, it will lead to unpredictable errors.

4. Drivers are not compatible, and this problem often occurs with third-party drivers.

5. Antivirus software accidentally kills system files. Sometimes the virus will infect the system files when the antivirus software prompts the virus. The average user will certainly not look carefully at what file is infected, but does not hesitate to choose to delete the file. Generally, the important system files can't be deleted, but the anti-virus software can. The problem that arises is that after the system is started next time, there is a problem with the system, or simply prompting that the file is missing and cannot be started.

6. The system crash caused by the disk file. Simply put, the file on the disk has an error or too much fragmentation. Windows management has been unable to control it and simply went on strike. Sometimes using a third-party disk defragmentation tool can cause this to happen. An abnormal shutdown can also cause problems.

7. The system crash caused by the virus, this is more complicated and may include many reasons above.

Second, let the system come back to life

Below, the author based on his own experience, talk about some practical ways to save the collapse system. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Recall what software was installed before the system had a problem. If not, skip to step 2. If so, uninstall the software. If you have problems after installing the new driver, uninstall the corresponding device driver in the device manager and replace the old driver.

2. Perform a system restore. If the system restore was closed by you long ago. Then proceed to the next step.

3. Antivirus. It is recommended to use online anti-virus or virus detection, do not install anti-virus software, find out the corresponding killing tool after the poison is detected.

4. Perform disk cleaning and disk scanning. When scanning the system disk, the system will prompt you to scan the Windows file separately, so it is recommended to start it at the next system startup. Restart the system and scan again.

5. Repair the system files. Suppose the system installation file is under c:\\windows. Modify the registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Setup] primary key. First change the CDInstall key-value data to 0 on the right. Then change the service key SourcePath and SourcePath to c:\\windows. Then run sfc /scannow again. The system will automatically repair the system files.

6. The last move is to kill. Start the system with the system installation disk. After loading the file, run the installation interface prompt to repair or reinstall, press “R” to repair the system. After entering the console, run fixboot, Chkdsk c: /p /r, fixmbr, the general system can be brought back to life.

III. Suggestions for Preventing System Collapse

1. Do not install software of unknown origin. Especially for some small website download programs, or optimized versions of the software. If you want to download, try to go to a large software station, such as digital connection, sky and so on.

2. Do not press the power button directly when shutting down. Also don't use the quick shutdown method of pressing "ctrl" on the Internet, which is no different from directly pressing the power button.

3. Frequently defragment your files, try not to put your own files on the desktop. When using the software, try to set the working directory of the software in the non-system area. Such as Thunder's download directory. At the same time, the temporary file directory of the system can be set in the non-system area. Some software such as Photoshop and Fireworks generate temporary files at runtime that are GB. If the software is abnormally closed, these files are likely to be in error, causing the system to crash. The method for setting the system temporary file directory is shown in Figure 2.

4. Registry, if you don't understand, don't modify it. It is best to export the key you want to modify before modifying. If something goes wrong, you can recover.
