Help! Random 0.5-1 second lag/delay/spike ??

Jxson1 · 08-14-2008, 01:11 AM

Dear Experts,

I have just recently built my first computer a couple days ago..
on my first attempt, i O'C successfully from 2.53Ghz to 4.2GHz and orthos tests and prime ran solid. But i had a minor problem..
i found this problem while viewing a video from youtube..
at random intervals the video would have a 0.5-1 second delay, like slow motion.. afterwards, i noticed that it also affected gaming sessions and even moving the mouse!
so i reinstall everything from the start with new Os, and i installed the necessary drivers. no updates yet.

in hopes that stock setting would fix this random .5 sec delay/lag/spike
i tested it on youtube.. but got the same problem.. google has proved no help..

i need help please!

this is my build

Radeon HD 4850
OCZ StealthXStream 600w
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale 2.53GHz

I'm no expert in overclocking, but a 70% overclock?? I'm not surprised you're having issues...
