I keep encountering a problem when using Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
where every 10-30 seconds, it will stall and I will need the system to catch
up to my inputs. For example when using Firefox, pressing 'File' would freeze
my system for a few seconds, and then the 'File' menu would appear.
I have encountered few problems since installation a few weeks ago, but this
has become a bit of a nuisance. My specs are as follows:
Pentium D 3.0GHz
Geforce 7800 GTX 256mb
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
2 GIGS Ram
I've noticed it occurs more frequently when playing media (music, video) but
does still occur occasionally without. I've also noted that CPU usage is
extremely erratic (2%-35% jumps every couple minutes, accompanied by a
stutter and distortion of any playing audio).
Could my sound driver be responsible for this entire annoyance or is there
anything I can do to lesson this occurrence?
Also, could anyone provide a list of processes that may be closed in Vista
to maximize RAM usage? I have been able to close a few, but a few times I've
managed to crash the system by ending an important process. If anyone could
spare me the trouble of going through all 56 running processes, I would
greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advanced for your help,
