hello everyone,
i have made another thread stating one of these problems...just that was with my old hardware.
Now that ive pulled this pc from its hiding, ive changed all it's guts to a more slower solution, just mainly the hard drive, graphics card, and power supply (<-- psu wouldnt be causing it anyway).
These are the factors that are DEFINETLY not causing it:
1. Not enough power
2. Overheating
3. Old hardware issues (ive tried the hdd, graphics and psu all in different mobos and worked fine -not that a psu would do something to cause lag)
4. Windows or any OS
5. Drivers (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, even though i still do)
6. Hard Drive
7. Graphics Card
I've had this problem for nearly a full year, and when i take it to a shop, they never get the problem. It seems to only occur when I'm doing something in additon to doing something else.
I,E: Winamp running and starting up Steam Client or MSN Messenger.
What bugs me the most is that its not a game lag (this would be fine) but more of a global lag, affecting Windows GUI and gaming or mulltimedia and utility programs. I don't think this happens in the BIOS or in DOS, but I know for a fact, whatever windows i put on, it will still lag, even during installation process.
After a while thinking it could be the motherboard...I have maybe come to the conclusion that it may be my actual CPU causing it (I have a AMD Athlon XP 2800+)...but I'm not so sure about this.
My mobo is a Gigabyte GA-7VT400N Pro2 Rev.2.0 NForce 2 i think.
Please help as fast as you can, as I need this pc in tip-top shape by this weekend.
As I've said, it suffers from extreme lag in Windows when not doing anything, and can also be heard by an audio lag as well, as songs stutter, so do videos, and whatnot.
Thanks in advance,
Neo776
