Slow downs and Hangs
Good day all, Im just curious if Im missing any fixes that dont show up in Windows Update. The computer will sometimes appear to be fine when I turn it on. Other times it just seems slow, unresponsive and hangs on almost everything. I could click the start menu or the explorer or even have it hang on the control panel. Makes no difference I just get the little blue circle for a few minites until all of a sudden it just seems to kick in and does everything I wanted all at once. Any ideas why half the time I turn it on it does this? My specs: Intel Q6600 Quad-Core 2.4 GHz XFX Nforce 680i motherboard 2x XFX 8600 GT Geforce Cards in SLI mode 8GB of Dual Channel OCZ SLI-Ready 800MHz Ram 250 GB SATA Hard Drive SATA DVD Burner Vista Home Premium x64 Theres nothing in my start up programs but the usual items and all the components have aftermarket fans and the processor never passes 45c under load. The only guarenteed time that it hasnt become unresponsive is when Im gaming, COD4 ran flawless the entire game on highest settings... I couldnt stop playing! lol But anything that isnt a game and the operating system itself can be really slow. Any Ideas? -- phoenix416
