I've been running my system for quite some time, and it's never been 100%.
I find it lags a lot, when accessing drives. Not only that but, If my girlfriend is running a neopets flash game within firefox, and i wanna do something simple like open internet explorer, It REALLY lags, and often brings Internet explorer to a none responding status.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what the trouble could be?
Its not spyware or a virus. As my computer is 100% clean. It's a fresh install now, I run mcaffee 8.0 corporate, aswell as spywareblaster + adaware and Spybot.
I've also ran Hijackthis and it's clean as i said.
So the problem is defo at a hardware level.
My spec is an Opteron 146 @ 2.9ghz (48hour stable in Prime95)
2gb - Gskill PC4000(DDR500) 3-4-4-8 Dual Channel
Asrock sata2 mobo ( My prime suspect )
3 hard drives - 80gb Maxtor Sata drives x 2, 1 IDE Western Digital 170gb
Graphics card - Nvidia Geforce 5200 256mb (I know)
My operating system is installed to 1 of the Sata drives by the way if that helps.
A bit to look through, But if anyone patient out there can help me. I'd much appreciate it
