Hi All,
I have recently returned to using my PC as a gaming platform after a break. It's a homebuilt machine that may or may not have had this issue on before, but I can't remember (not helpful I know). If it has happened before, I've not thought of grabbing a screen dump from Task Manager to show the systems actions during it.
The issue is that, while playing a game (World of Warcraft) the system will hang, and music/sounds will repeat on a roughly 1/2 second loop. I have included below a screenshot of the issue as below.
As you can see, the CPU & Memory look fine, but C:\ (OS Installation) & D:\ (Game Installation) both go to 100 Active Time but what looks like 0 KB/s on the Transfer Rate.
I have seen here that a user has possibly/probably solved this by resetting his CMOS, but this is something I haven't done before so not sure where to start. If this is an option/good idea, my Motherboard is a MSI 970A-G43.
Thanks for your time and help!
