Been using my W7 machine to stream to the media centre side of our xbox360 for a couple of years now, but in the last month something has gone "bad".
Instead of a half second delay between clicking the button and the system responding, it's more like 5-6 minutes.
In the same time span my pc becomes unusable, juddering mouse, no responce to clicks, etc. According to task manager my ram use jumps from 1.5gig to 3.9gig in the space of a minute, task manger shows that windows defender is background (msmpeng.exe) scanning hundreds of files, even though i've not got a scheduled scan running.
Hard to get exact details from different pages as things just stop responding for a few minutes.
Task manager will show a drop back to normal ram use and about a minute later the video will start playing on the xbox.
Don't know if it's related, but often when trying to watch something on the pc itself i hear the hard drives spinning up as if they'd been put to sleep, don't know if that would be related.
System is Q6600, 4gig of pc2-6400, P5B-Deluxe.
Any ideas?
