after postgresql install my pc freezes/slows critically
by zaxpoker on Fri May 16, 2008 4:30 am=20
hey!
I installed postgresql on my pc, I could do everything according to the=20
installation guide everything should have been fine
but unfortunately bad things started to happen
put it short: my whole pc slowed dramatically
win startup got lot slower + doing anything was slower - pokertracker=20
too worked slower
to be precise my pc held pausing breaks stop and go, stop and go=20
without no end
i.e i started explorer or mozilla, it worked then
about 10 seconds freeze, 10 seconds normal but slower working then=20
10 seconds freezing again and so on
my pc became useless
I tried uninstalling postgresql, freezing and slowing remained
i tried system restore, freezing and slowing remained
i figured there might be an issue with my firewall + antivirus software -=
=20
Norton Internet Security 2004 -=20
So after the format c: new windows, and BEFORE installing NIS i=20
installed postgresql on a new absolutely virgin windows setup
same freezing going slowly, freezing stuff:(
so I had to format c: again and put up windows again with a plan that I=20
never would try to install postgresql again on this configuration as it=20
would ruin my pc and I would need to install for 3 days again.
I wouldn't plan to buy a complete new hardware just because of this as=20
this machine is not that old and should be perfect=20
my config is
Intel P4 2,8G
Asus P4P800 SE (i848P)
1 G PC3200 DDR
3 harddisk over 700 G space
ATI Radeon HD2400
Win XP Sp2 with all updates
NIS2k4
I'm a classic "user" I can install anything but haven't got a clue
about=20
real programming or informatic skills, I don't understand postgresql=20
either:)
I can't figure out what part of it messes up with what part or either
if=20
it's software or hardware related, I never ever had any compatibility=20
issues on this config in the 3-4 years i've been using this one
q: anyone heard of anything similar like this?
If you find the time please help me out!zaxpoker=20

To summarize, new Windows install with PostgreSQL freezes.
Identical new Windows install without PostgreSQL does not freeze?
That does not make much sense to me. PostgreSQL should create=20
little/no extra burden on your computer when idle. Even when=20
PokerTracker 3 is churning through your database, PostgreSQL should=20
spike at no more than 50% CPU.
I suspect something else is going on? Hardware related?
Best regards,

Yes.
Virgin win I installed postgresql and it did this stop and go.
not a classic freeze where you have to restart but like it would think on=
=20
something, like it was extracting a huge rar or something
nothing suspicious or new in the taskmanager, around 5-15=20
postgresql.exe running though but as i read thats about normal
about ten sec "thinking" - no program responds, only mouse is "live" -=20
then it goes from there for 10-20 secs then "thinking" again
no similar woodoo issue ever on this comp not before not since
i dont use too many softwares though some pc games (FPS, etc.),=20
watching videos, listening to mp3s, normal stuff, nothing ever
and i dont even know where to look for could this be some harddisk=20
issue? is postgre extraactive there cause i have three harddisks
or motherboard to x peripherial?
no clue
worst is that i know it's a complicated issue that is almost impossible
to=
=20
resolve from distant or through simple questions
this issue is really torpedoing me:(
