Greetings fellas
I have weird problem with my setup lately.
When I boot to windows, both XP or WIN 7 i have strange sound crackle, lag, resulting high CPU usage.
But, it only happens after I reboot or power on after one, single lag free boot which is made after 1st BIOS settings and cmos clear.
Every other boot is horrible, sound pops, crackles and affects CPU load.
It works only once after BIOS settings reset/set.
First i suspected on my sound-card since it's creative x-fi, but i eliminated that part in my observation beacuse there is one problem free boot.
After intensive testings I came to a thought that it could be my motherboard, since it boots normally without problems after cmos clear and seettings are reset manually..
It happens no matter if i boot couple of times with hardware overclocked or stock settings...
I can't test one component by one because it would be pointless to buy each one separately and see which one is problematic.
But i would do that if i only knew which one is it, damn ...
I really hate this kind of problems, weird one, which are hard to detect without system of elimination, piece by piece...
I'm a bit short with my budget atm, and that actually holds me back from solving it the easy way...
Do you have any ideas or input to get me on th right way, what could it be??
I think i tried the most but still...more heads, more brains hehehe
