What's stealing my cycles
Reply With Quote   #1

nope it's not an lolcat.

on my folks computer every few minutes the computer will freezeup show an hourglass for about 30 - 45 seconds then come back to life.

I especially notice this when I'm browsing .. it'll useally load 99.9% of a page... I can see the whole thing but can't click on it till the hourglass goes away and then it catches up to every scroll and click I did.

I don't see anything major when I have the system manager open.

not many programs in the startup on msconfig and nothing that looks out of the ordinary..

any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks.

My random guess is that an application running in the background might be looking for an online update every few minutes.

I'm inclined to agree with Ruccus. Post a HijackThis log for me? Also, what OS, CPU, and memory are in the machine? Broadband or dialup?
