Experiencing hiccups.

Schalldampfer · Oct 27, 2005

I usually keep my computer in its top-notch conditions, but sometimes, my pointer stutters and the whole system hiccups for a brief moment before continuing on. Only 333 or so MB of PF is used... what could be the problem? The only applications that I'm running are WMP and Trillian.

A little help here, please?

Spyware? Viruses?

I use a combonation of Kaspersky, Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, and am currently testing M$ Anti-Spyware beta. Those generally keep all the nasties out.

Maybe there are some programs running in the background?

I've checked out my process, and everything seems normal. I have ran Ad-aware, Sypbot, Spyware Blaster, AVG, and I also have a rather large hosts file. So I'm not exactly sure if malware is the problem here.

Usually thats associated with a RAM issue ie not enough. I saw that alot when I was using 1GB on BF2

I have BF2, too, and I can play just fine at 1024x768 (my LCD max resolution) at all high settings with 2xAA. And when I experience hiccups, it's not the times when I'm running it. I have one gig, by the way.

Also, when working with Photoshop and hit undo, the changes don't appear until I hide and view the layer again... could this be a RAM problem of sorts?
