    unknown startup apps suspected to be some kind of malware.


    some months back I installed pi software which was some kind of mining app but I uninstalled it that time only however there is still a program showing in startup apps named pi and I can not find it elsewhere, there are many such programs on startup apps menu which looks some kind of malware like the program named "program", "update" and "screenrec". Are these malware or virus? If yes, how do I remove it? However, I have disabled the pi and program.

    :)

    My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

    Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
    Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

    Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
    Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix

    What kind of quad.

    I suspect you are at "the edge" of the power rating for the mainboard. Perhaps Q6600 wasnt listed due to TWO versions, C3 stepping at 105W and G0 stepping at 95W. Furthermore, if you OC the G0 Q6600 then it will use more than 95W. Since Q9300 is on a 1333 buss, then perhaps the BIOS doesnt give you scope to OC it, keeping it well withing the 95W envelope.

    My suggestion is, if the mainboard is important to you and you dont want to blow the power regulators or caps, to NOT OC the Q6600. Take the thing out of design spec (by OC'ing it) and you may very well rapidly reduce the half-life of your board.

    Also, as erocker suggests, there are 65W quads out now. I think those are better suited to this mainboard.

    Good luck.
