Computer lags

[hyunkeru]

Hi, guy

My friend has some problems with the computer, it reboots itself from time to time. He had a cheap power supply and 2 no name 256mb ddr memory. I replaced them with a brand new cooler master 380w PSU and 2 kingston 512mb ddr memory (they were pulled out from my machine, they were working perfectly since I bought them 4 months ago). I also formatted the whole hard drive and reinstalled windows and got all the updates. I left the computer on 3 days and kept it downloading stuffs. It works fine, no rebooting at all. I thought the problem was solved. I gave the computer back to him, since then he told the computer is acting kind of wired. It lags quite often for like 5 to 10 seconds. Both keyboard and mouse stop working. It likes the computer was frozen. Beside that the computer is 100% functioning. I asked several of the friends, no one ever has this kind of problem. Can anyone please give me some hints you might be the problem. Thanks a million.

I saw this when timing of RAM and video card are not set well, like it’s waiting for an interrupt... I only had it with games when I tweaked too much but who knows it will help you a bit. Just set the timing manual and see what happens.
