So, whats wrong with my computer? Like it works OK for 10sec, and then it will LAG for 2secs, no matter what you do, it happens when whatching videos, playing etc, I tryed reboot, but then this starts after one hour uptime..
Some scpecs: Windows xp sp3, Celereon 3,33ghz, 1,5gb ram, ati radeon express 1100 (  ), only programs what starts when I boot xp are comodo, nod32, my keyboarads&mouse's software's, and usually I ran Xchat, winamp(or modplug player) and firefox in bg..
So wtf is wrong with this pice of shit computer? Even my laptop runs faster, even its much older and not that powerfull (intel pentium mobile 4 1,8ghz, 256mb ram, aka ibm thinkpad t30) when running windows XP sp2 (too lazy to install sp3 w/ GPRS  )...____________________ Sorry for my bad english

Disregarding your lack of grammar, correct spelling, etc:
By the sounds of it, if playing media is causing trouble, it might be related to your graphics card. When did your computer start "lagging"? Did you install any new software/drivers any time close before? ____________________ |

I've had that happen with an NVIDIA card and bad drivers, but that doesn't necessarily mean your graphics card or drivers are the problem...
I would suggest running memtest86+ on it for at least a couple passes, it will check whether your RAM is bad, which is a far more common cause of problems. |

Posted by Tyty I'm not too sure, but I think this started to happen after installing sp3 upate, also this happens even winamp/modplug player is not running in bg :\ ____________________ Sorry for my bad english

Can be your HD as well. Having the computer seemingly "freeze" up when handling with insane swapping is normal (on windows), but it's not exactly a too common event...
Is there any HD activity during those two seconds of lag? ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Posted by Ailure I'm not too sure, but this problem can be that my C:/ driver had only 4xx mb free space left, and thats because xp's installation fuck'd my hard driver, and after I re-installed xp, C: driver was only 14,6gb big (normaly ~150gb), 
So now I have C: what is 14,6gb, and another paratition what is 134gb =/ ____________________ Sorry for my bad english

Uh, download the GParted LiveCD to resize your main partition to the entire disk size (make sure you have XP SP1 or later, original XP doesn't support more than 127GB partitions). |

Posted by LegomenThe first partition of yours must be quite fragmented then. I would do like what chungy said (preferable really), or at least resize the main partition so you have at least 30% free space or something. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

I'm rather glad this topic exists since I have a problem too.
I'll give these suggestions a check as well. ____________________

PartitionMagic is very old and unmaintained software, with several severe bugs that cause data loss for even the simplest operations. I do not recommend it at all, and suggest you get GParted instead. |

GParted is really good.
It exists on most Linux LiveCD's, such as Ubuntu and Knoppix so even if you don't plan to use Linux you can still use it. Seeing how it was years since the last version of Partitionmagic was released, I wouldn't touch it... ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

GParted also has its own LiveCD, which is very quick to boot compared to Ubuntu or Knoppix; plus you're better guaranteed to get less buggy versions since it's updated specifically for GParted updates. |
