Stuttering

ionicle · #1 30-07-07, 01:52 PM

right, i have overclocked my E6300 to 3.6GHz, its stable, ...or seems to be, but it stutters, every 2 seconds, for half a second, everything just freezes, then contunues again...

i tried down clocking it, got it t 2.4GHz too, and then the same at 2GHz

even at stock it does it, when stressed enough

any ideas whats causing this, or how to fix it?

Check u`r system for virals/spy.

See how much space u have on u`r OS drive, and is u`r pagefile fragmented all over the place.

Run some stability checking progs, the likes of what Kemp uses in reviews. Memtest, orthos..

If u come out of that with passes, I`d be interested in what services are running in u`r windows install.

right, what i forgot in first post is that i'm on vista...if that affects it at all?

EDIT: spybot search and destroy, and lavasoft adaware updated an scanning

OS drive is 80 gig, of which 36.8 is free

stability programs are next...

orthos was fine for 7 minutes, i then stopped it because it made the stutterig worse.....

What mode is your Harddrive in?

If it is in PIO you will get stuttering.. because PIO uses the CPU more, I believe.

i stopped it after so long, cos it just froze everything up, to the point where nothing worked

how do i check?

i have to type really slowly every 2 seconds, when it stutters, and i press a key on the keyboard, it doesnt apear, so i have to go back and fix it

this is anoying now

EDIT: memtest is 38% completed, no error's yet

and i just removed 41 pieces of spyware

/interupt - u get this in safemode ?

ionicle · #8 30-07-07, 03:12 PM

i've not tried safe mode tbh, it usually doesnt make a difference...

EDIT: hell, i dont even know how to boot into safemode, without making windows crash, and having it ask when i boot back up..

Have a look at your sata/IDE channels in device manager.

It is worth a check.

Whenever I get stutters that is the first thing I check.

i'm not sure what to look for exactly, if you need a different option expanding, just say, and i'll do another screenshot...
