hello again folks. my system specs are - windows 7 ultimate sp1. 32 bit. intel core 2 duo e4700 @ 2.60 ghz. 4gb ram. sapphire radeon hd 6450 1gb ddr3.
i have searched various threads with people having similar problems but not exactly the same one that i am having. whenever i start up the windows after a break of about 5 minutes at the least, windows doesnt respond immediately. i can move the cursor, click the start button but thats about it. when i try to refresh, the cursor just gets busy(rotating) and all i can do is click the start button, and the start menu opens after quite some time. and i have to wait till i can click log off and/or enter task manager as im unable to do it right away. it goes on like this for a lot of minutes. sometimes it allows me to log off. and sometimes it shows me the windows not responding,wait or end process msg. but once i log off and log back in, windows works like a charm. now,i didnt have this problem when i had an nvidia 210gt. i only started facing problem after installing the 6450 card. thats why i believe its the ati card or drivers (downloaded them from amd site) rather, thats causing the problem is because i have tried every other method mentioned in various threads. reinstalled windows, disabled startup and microsoft services/programs,enabled select programs and services, checked registry for errors, ran cccleaner, ran malware bytes, scanned with comp for virus and all that (am using kis2012), and well, a few other methods i cant even remember after trying out so many. i am stumped as what do do or try next. so please help. i am exhausted looking for solutions. cant even remember if i left out some method that i tried. i would really appreciate it if someone can help me with solving this extremely annoying problem.
edit: i dono how i forgot to mention this, but i also have the windows 'blinking' and not responding for a few seconds issue. which ALSO started after changing the graphic card.
