Hello everyone,
I'm having very weird "lags" and freezing moments on my computer. Sometimes it's when I'm launching a lot of programs at the same time (like: mozilla, skype and notepad very quickly for exemple). Sometimes it's juste like that, when watching a video for exemple I can sometimes times get weird sound distortions, like if the sound was lagging (but only for a few secs).
So I was wondering, could that come from my CPU or my Motherboard ? I'm asking that because I'm thinking of buying a new graphic card for my 4 year old computer and I would'nt want to invest money in it if in two weeks i'm going to have to change it completely ^^ !
If my Motherboard or CPU were broken or close to breaking, would my PC still work and give me that kind of weird things / bugs ?
Also I would like to know if there is some sort of Diagnostic / benchmarking program that I could use to test my CPU and my Motherboard to see if they are working correctly, and if they are still in shape. Something like MEMTest. Any idea ?
Thank you for your time and help !
Regards,
Big
