Hey all, wondering if all ya guys can help me out here.. here are my specs..
[SPECS]
Windows Xp Home Edition [SP2]
1.7 GHZ AMD 2800 Sempron
512 PC2100 Ram
Ati Radeon 9550
Onboard Sound [C-Media]
Elitegroup Motherboard [I Forget which model]
60GB Samsung Hard Drive
But yeah, the problem is, a while back the ram was passed to me from my brother [which ran perfectly fine] and which i put into this computer, and I built this myself and the chip was mounted on the motherboard when I bought it from fry's, and the hard drive is brand new, along with the vid card. The thing is when i start up the comp, the sound skips like when you start up windows it skips. Along with that it also skips when i open a game like counter-strike or everquest, and the performance is really booboo, and the game also skips, like a quarter second freeze constantly, my cpu usage boost up to 90%-100% when i play a game, and usually its sposed to be around 40-70 % depending, and even if i minimize the game its sposed to be low, but it turns out to be jumping from 90-99% around there. The cursor lags behind the mouse, and the sound skips. and i have RAN all microsoft's antispyware, and avg to scans for viruses, but i have not installed anything except my songs from cds, and games from cds nothing downlaoded directly from any p2p program or such. thanks for any help.
