Windows Lagging problem

[Sbrideau]

Hi, this is a problem that only occasionnally happen, but it's getting worse lately, and I'm wondering if I have the right voltages and such on the CPU or any other part of the computer. I'm also wondering if I should change the thermal paste under there, still a prebuilt, but I had it for almost 3 years now. I did upgrade it a lot though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PC specs:

 

 

 

Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit

 

AMD AthlonX2 dual core 4600+(2.4GHz)

 

4GB RAM DDR2 PC2-4200

 

1TB HDD and 750GB HDD

 

Geforce 9800GT

 

 

 

I know it's not the video card, because when it lags, if I'm writing, the letter that I was pushing at the freeze repeats itself in a long string, even if I continue writing.

 

 

 

Any help apreciated.

 

 

 

I can change my Windows language to english if you absolutely need that in english.

All i can tell you is that the voltage for your cpu is within the specified range.

 

Changing the paste wont make any difference apart from a bit cooler cpu.

 

I've had the same problem as you, but it tends do go away after a while and only occurrs a few times a year maybe.

 

All your other temps and voltages are fine too.

 

 

 

Let's see what perhaps Clare or Joedastudd or someone else got in store for you, just thought i'd drop this as a fast reply =P

 

Nice mining lvl btw heh.

Thanks, but I found out, while monitoring the temperatures for a longer time that idle to mid-load, the temperatures tend to be around 50. I find it a little high, since usually the highest it would go was 40 on full load, I will try and see the temps on full load, but either way, I'm going to change the thermal paste in there, I've had the computer for almost 3 years and it's still the same, I heard some people say for prebuilt computers the paste is there for life, but I'm starting to doubt that.

 

 

 

The lagging seems to have gone away by itself.
