So my computer just recently started acting up, I'd say it started maybe a month and a half ago. Since this started I haven't been using it too often because it becomes such a hassle.
The computer will freeze up, sometimes the mouse will still move but nothing reacts to it, like clicking or icons highlighting. Everything else will be frozen, maybe lasting up to a minute or two before going back to normal and doing it again soon after. Sometimes it won't happen again for a good 30 min, and sometimes, it happens every few minutes. It's pretty inconsistent. If I'm on the internet, the window will freeze say (Not Responding), cursor shows that it's loading, but I'd be able to still open up start menu, desktop, any other program. If I have music going, or sound, I notice when it freezes up, the sound will become distorted and scratchy especially if I'm running a game or a program like Photoshop.
I've asked this question over at the Microsoft support forums, and all I got in answer is some default suggestion on how to clean up the system with CCleaner, Defragger, Disk Cleanup etc... all stuff I had already done before which does not seem to help.
So what I'm looking for is maybe a point in the right direction, because I have no idea what it could be.
Here's some of my system info:
Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Pentium E5700 @ 3.00GHz
Wolfdale 45nm Technology
RAM
4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 398MHz (6-6-6-15)
Motherboard
LENOVO To be filled by O.E.M. (CPU 1)
Graphics
E2281 (1920x1080@60Hz)
2048MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series (ASUStek
My graphics card is only months old, so I don't know if it could be that. I hope not. And like I said this issue only started up recently. I'm also planning on added 4gb of memory in a few days, so not sure if that would help either. If I need to add any more info let me know, but I'm a little noobish when it comes to searching for specs. I appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks
