10 second freezes

Thanks to be honest I was looking in the case today and saw tht it was quite dusty. I have 3 cats so it was also full of fur. My CPU temp is fine (checked with Core Temp , but I don't know how to check the GPU or even what a normal GPU temp is. I'll have to get a can of compressed air.

Annoying thing is I'm out of work right now and trying to update my portfolio to get new work, this issue isn't helping matters. Kind of a catch 22. Need work to buy PC updates, need PC updates to find work.

Here, is a couple of things you can try for low cost. You can remove the gpu to eliminate the possibility of that it is the problem source. Try to disconnect all none necessary hardware. Next, get an aftermarket SATA cable for a few bucks to replace the one connected to the boot HDD with all others disconnect.

Good luck and let us know what happen.

If I remove the GPU what does the monitor connect to?

To use the on board video you may connect your monitor to the connector below the bigger purple one located on the left from on the picture in the link below. Adapter may be needed.:DI think:D

start by disabling the ReadyBoost Service!

Yeah, I disabled Readyboost a while back and nothing changed.

Thanks Bruce, I didn't realize what that connector was for. A couple of adapters came with my monitor (mine was the display model from the local Comp USA that closed down) I'll have to see if one fits that, otherwise I can't afford to buy one right now.

also try disabling Computer Browser service. . . that is one of the killers for me, and I don't know that its necessary for a stand alone computer in a wireless home. . .

Well I don't know what I did but I haven't had any freezes for a couple of days now. I don't want to jinx it and say it's fixed so I'll just leave it at that.
