Random Lag spikes

Davimous · 07-04-2008, 09:57 PM

While using my computer (normally gaming) I will experience extreme lag spikes. It will drop my framerate from say 40 to 4. When I exit the game eveything I do is laggy. This only lasts for about 3-8 minutes. When I check my task manager all my cpu is sitting idle! I have 4 gigs of ram an 8600 gt videocard. 500w power supply. 2x ghz procesor. I have had this problem since upgrading my power suply and videocard. Any help would be great. Also I am running Vista if that is needed.
