Nerwin Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Just reinstall Windows XP How about some actual troubleshooting instead of the "no one learns a thing" method, eh? I'm sorry, If I can't solve the problem I just Reinstall but there could be a reason why its doing that, I have herd that senses in the motherboard are not working properly and it might cause that, But I don't know for sure.

prx984 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 My laptop does this, it's to do with speedstep in my case. I'd say get the program called CPUz and try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I've also seen this caused by startup programs - and autoruns (disabling all non-Microsoft items) resolved the issue. I forget which app caused it, but I do remember this on an AMD x64 chip back under XP Pro SP2, and I do remember playing the pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey game of re-enabling things a few at a time until I found the culprit.I haven't had the problem since, and I've since upgraded the box to Vista, which also doesn't have the problem.
