help meh, pleasE!

Lately i've been having problems with my computer have random "shudders", meaning it will freeze for a split second out of nowhere. Any suggestions for what it could be and suggestions for fixing it? I have a 400watt psu, and my rails are fine. It kind of sounds like the ram too me but i'm not sure.

none that i am aware of. Nothing found using anykind of spyware remover. No visible viruses looking at running processes. No unusual startup items.

Are you using a stock cooler? The fins are rather close together, and get dustfilled rather quickly. Regular cleaning is required.

I always set everything manually, Donnie. There is a lot of variation in mb's. Take this IS7 for instance. Auto Vcore should be 1.525v. In reality via EQ, 1.5v. etc, etc. A lot of boards undervolt Vdimm and Vcore. This one undervolts AGP also. Check all your settings and actual voltages with a program like MBM5, EQ, SpeedFan, etc. The last stutter problem I had was a memory issue (board).

Abit IS7 - 3.0C @ 3.6ghz - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power
Samsung 120gb ATA-100 - Maxtor 40gb ATA - 100
Sony DRU-510A - Yellowtail Merlot

It is definately due to the effects of an ADDICT...
