ogwaffle2 Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 ok i have this annoying problem with my processor, i cant run any of my games or play any of my videos with out a little skip every 2 seconds. I normally wouldent complain about a random skip every so often but this happens all the time. Its like a skip with a 2 second delay followed by another skip, its annoying. I think its my processor cause when i open task manager my cpu usuage is always stuck at 13% even when nothing is running. I tried reformatting, turning the computer off for a day, and helping my airflow in my case, but nothing seems to help. Here are my pc specs 1.6ghz p4 intel mobo 1 gig of ram nvidia geforce fx 5200 128 meg sb live value dvd/cd burner combo drive 20 gig master 40 gig slave any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

Whitelightning Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Do you have another cpu you could test? Try taking the cpu and re-installing it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 can you provide a screen shot of your task manager showing "processes" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogwaffle2 Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) no, this is the only cpu i have. its strange because it has never acted this way before until maybe 3 days ago. http://images.snapfish.com/33%3B6638723232...3A7644423nu0mrj there is a pic of my processes with just aim and mozilla open.

ogwaffle2 Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 ok, i just ran spybot and it found a DSO Exploit. I tried to remove it but it just wont go away. Do you think that may be the reason of my cpu speed acting wierd? this is what my task manager looks like with NOTHING running, it just stays at 13%.

ogwaffle2 Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I just found a bloodhound w.32 virus on my d drive, i decided to format the entire thing cause all i had was bs on it. Still, havent really noticed a difference. I think im running out of options and might have to break down and get a new mobo/processor.
