Hey first of all.
I've tried searching for a similar thread but could not find any, bear with me in case I missed something like that, also this is my very first post as my friend directed me here.
So my problem is:
I keep getting this random issue in which my computer starts spiking/freezing every about 1 second for 0,5 seconds of duration.
- With random I mean:
that there is no scheme regarding a time-frame, sometimes it doesn't appear for a week or two, sometimes I get it twice in a few days.
and also I can not figure any kind of thing which would be the trigger for it - simply because I've had it happen during idling at the desktop just after booting, also during gaming sessions and hours of usage.
(windows 7, 64 bit, clean install - no upgrade)
This includes a freezing in my music if I listen to any, my mouse cursor, simply everything.
I have tried using the task manager to eventually identify the possible cause - however I was not able to do so, also my usage is not more than 30-35% tops > ram usage.
Today it happened during idling in the starcraft 2 lobby while connected to the multiplayer, however I had causes in which it triggered just after booting and / or not being connected to the internet.
So far my solution (the only one I came up with) is rebooting the computer and waiting for it to appear again, which might be a day, a week, maybe even two or three weeks, but eventually it will appear again.
As a competitive gamer it is kinda needless to explain that when this occurs in a match, it basically means an auto-loss for me - therefor it kinda strikes on my nerves as it isn't that much of a bother if I am not playing, as a simple reboot would solve it for a while - but if it triggers in a match (which I had happen a couple of times by now) it would cost me an eventual important match/game while not being able to replay that given game.
Monitoring my everest tells me that the sensors are never overheating either which would be a valid explanation for it, also I did various kind of malware / anti virus checks (full version of kaspersky) which were all without any kind of reports.
PC Specs:
- Cpu: QuadCore Intel Core i5 750, 2633 MHz (17 x 155)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 (2 PCI, 2 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR3 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394)
- Ram: 4091 MB (DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM) 2x 2gb
- Graphic Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 1GB GDDR5
- Windows 7, 64 bit, clean install - no upgrade, like mentioned above already.
- HDD: 380 GB on the only non storage partition with 260 GB still free.
Thanks in advance.
