My sysspecs should still be in my sig. The PC has been fine since January, but suddenly it is unstable.
Windows loads INCREDIBLY slowly. When the windows intro song plays, and music is horribly garbled. When playing WoW, there are times when the sound becomes very garbled, and the fps drop to like 20.
This happens even more often when playing winamp/foobar in the background.
Also simple everyday tasks take forever. Like over a minute fr Ie7 to load up. When im streaming a video file over the wireless, and watching it on my laptop the pc will randomly freeze up completely. its done that at other times randomly as well. When i double click on an mp3 or flac file without the music player open, it takes 1-3 minutes for the music player to open. In the meantime nearly everything freezes. I also get momentary freezes opening other random programs/files.
From turn on, to having every startup item in xp running, my boot process used to take like 1-2 minutes. now it takes more than 5.
Ive tried declocking me CPU/GPU/RAM, no help. REOCed them and still the same. Ive reinstalled my integrated sound drivers, and no help. updated them to a newer version
Edit: Just ran a speedtest on speedtest.net. I got well under half of what i should be getting for both ul/dl, and while it was running the sound in winamp slowe to a garble again. During which the entire system was slowed
