I don't know where this fits forum wise and I apologize if I placed this in the wrong area, but I would venture it is more software/OS related than hardware, but I am not sure. I hope I can explain it clearly. I can be surfing, creating office documents, or scanning and periodically my cursor will suddenly turn into the hour glass image as if it were "hiccupping", interrupting briefly whatever I am doing and then everything proceeds as normal.
The only exception is when I am sweeping for spyware or viruses and then the hour galss appears more frequently, slowing down the time of scans due to the constant interruptions.
What should I be looking for, testing?
My OS is XP Professional with SP2. Firewall is Sunbelt Kerio, anti-virus is NOD32, plus Webroot's Spysweeper.
EPoX 9NPA+Ultra
2 gigs of Crucial Ballistix PC3200
Athlon 64 3200+Venice CPU
connect3D X800 GTO with the latest driver
M-Audio 5.1 Revolution sound card with latest and last driver that will be issued
Thanks ahead of time.
