Vista "LAG"

This is what the problem is exactly: The Computer will sometimes stall and not do anything but I can still click on windows and stuff. And also when I transfer files to the computer via another the computer will stop and almost freeze the other programs and still won't let me transfer files.

Specs of Computer
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Gigabyte GA-M570SLI-S4 V2.0 (Bios Ver. FB
2x 2 gig Patriot Ram
Foxxconn 9600GT x2 (SLI)
Seagate 500gb 32mb Cache
ThermalTake Armor Case (Black)

Drivers Used:
Nvidia Nforce 15.01
Nvidia Gforce 176.16 Beta


What I have tried:
Different Power Supply
Tested the HDD in a different computer and installed Vista. Works Fine
Tried Working Ram
Changed CPUS
Disconnected DVD Burner
Tried Different Video Card

So Basically the only things that remained the same is the Motherboard, fans and case.
And I know the motherboard is compatible with the stuff because I tested it in a compuer with the same motherboard and cpu

Re: Vista "LAG"

You didnt mention the wattage and brand of power supply.
Vid cards may be heating up, or cpu. Psu would cause this, as well
as ram, or heat. You say you tried know good ram, was memtest run
on it? You installed vista on the hdd in another machine, and then
put it in your machine? That does not sound good, if so Im suprised it
works at all, unless the board you used was a pretty close match to
yours.

Re: Vista "LAG"

With that psu, you have one 12v rail @24amps. And you are trying
to run two video cards. Imho, you dont have enough power. You may
get away with a single agp card, in a low end p4 but not any of the
systems your dealing with. Your stressing everything, and you will
if you have not damage components.....

Re: Vista "LAG"

I tested the computer with only one video card. Meaning that I got away with running a single agp card.. And the problem still persisted.

Re: Vista "LAG"

Please run msinfo32 - and save as a NFO file (very important).

START |run | type msinfo32 into the start search box | click on msinfo32 above - save as NFO file - you will see the default option to do so.

Zip it up... and attach to your next post.

Regards. . .
