The issue:
During gaming every 5-10 seconds the frame will sort of freeze or really slow down and then kind of go through with the rest of whats on the screen, lagging I guess, but sometimes it will not do this for a period of about 30 seconds or so. It does not matter what the graphic settings are at or how intesive the game is,
For example: I attempt to play Need for Speed 3 or 4, either way, an older game that my computer should pull with all the graphics up with no problem. However this "freezing" thing happens, same with games like URU or Warcraft 3
Things I've done:
Tab out and run task manager, I notice that my cpu usage is at 100 %, I check for error in event viewer and dont see any problems, I checked my 3.3 volt and it is where it should be during game play.
To solve the problem:
I ran system restore, and restored back to 2 weeks ago, and the problem goes away, however after 4 days this issue comes back and I restore again, now after another 4 days its back again.
Help me please:
This is frustrating and this system was just installed. The only diffrence now is that I have a new motherboard, but the old asus pos was a a7v333 that had a bad southbrige (i suspect) and improper power management (killed my 430 antec and attempted to do it again so I bought a new nf7-s, which runs flawlessly, perfect power, perfect install as in no errors, which I somehow always had during xp install with the asus)
HMM:... I wonder weather having lack of 3.3 v back in the day of me having the a7v333 board I could have damaged the video card, however I doubt thats causing this particular issue because restoring back my xp is telling me that this is a reacuring windows issue. But I cant figure out what it might be, has anyone else had this problem.
thanks
P.S. I wanna avoid reinstalling, just incase this issue happens again, I wanna know what it is.
