Vista Lag

Gexx · 07-09-2008, 04:12 PM

I recently Installed Vista SP1 Ultimate x64. I am having this annoying lag on the desktop where everything gets choppy for sometime and then it goes back to normal. It shows the CPU usage as 5% so i dont think thats the problem.There is also a weird issue when the monitor turns off after 10min and I move the mouse it'll turn on but the desktop will be unresponsive unless I press ctrl + alt + del and then esc.

System Specs:

GPU: Ati Radeon 4870
CPU: Intel Q9450
RAM: G.skill 8500 4GB

Thanks for any help.

I've already posted my Speed-Up-Vista instructions once today and in my time zone we're only 2 hours into it

Your main problem is probably that you're using Aero, change your theme back to Classic

With the system specs it shouldn't LAG. It should run flawlessly.

Microsoft and flawlessly never belong in the same sentence :)
