Argh, another annoying problem.. Computer "skips"
Occasionally, this problem also happens... I'm just on the computer, no idleness or anything, and just clicking away and stuff, and all of a sudden, it's like my computer "skips." All processes completely halt for a second, then continue for two seconds, halt, go, halt, go, including the mouse. It's like my computer completely freezes for a second... and then it keeps doing it until I restart. Does anyone know what problem I'm talking about, why it happens, and/or how to fix it?? __________________

Yep, everything's always been up-to-date. I don't think drivers are an issue. __________________

Broadband's always on, and I never disconnect the modem for anything, so yep.

it might be IE related, for some reason my pc is touchy when being online, it might be the same deal with you?

It might be that, but I've been using Avant Browser lately, has an IE core.. but what can IE do that makes the computer halt up over and over again? I've closed all open programs and it never went away... always had to restart __________________

not IE in general, just the net perhaps?

It just happens when I'm using any old program, I was watching a DVD and it started 'skipping', listening to music, talking online, on KMC... but it happened before we had the internet, so I don't know __________________

If you're on Windows XP, run the task manager and see what program is taking up the CPU. You might want to sort the columns by the CPU usage.

It's usually the System Idle Process, but I don't see anything that stands out when the 'skipping'... will look again when it hapens __________________
