Constant Pause/Freezes
I am finding that anytime my computer begins to "think", especially when accompanied by some kind of a sound, I get a freeze of about 2 seconds. Moving the mouse doesn't move the cursor, sometimes the beginning of the sound is repeated 2-3 times in succession, and nothing can be done until that 2 second pause/freeze is up.
I am running Vista Home Premium with SP1. Computer is a Dell Dimension DM061, Core2 CPU 4300 @ 1.8Ghz, 2GB RAM. Ran Spybot S&D which uncovered a few cookies but no relevant adware/spyware. A McAfee virus scan uncovered nothing. Just installed SP1 tonight and it provided no help. Some examples of when the computer freezes: When about to play a video after loading, when any action is taken inside of a flash game or MSN game, etc. Any ideas what this could be and what the next steps are? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance. |

Re: Constant Pause/Freezes
Any chance this could be an IRQ issue? It looks like the following are all sharing IRQ 16:
(PCI) 16 High Definition Audio Controller (PCI) 16 Intel(R) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 283F (PCI) 16 Intel(R) ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2834 (PCI) 16 Intel(R) P965/G965 PCI Express Root Port - 29A1 (PCI) 16 NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE |

Bump. Nobody has any insight on this? If there's any info that I should add, please let me know. Very frustrated with this issue. Hm... alright, no support in the tech support forum. Last edited by dai; 11-09-2008 at 02:57 AM. |
