hey guys, yesterday i fitted a tuniq tower to replace my arctic freezer 7 cooler, it was abit of a pain as i had trouble trying to get out the motherboard and fit the backplate on the back of the board.
I realised i had wasted money and time as the tuniq tower increased the temp of my cpu by 10C (50C idle, 54C full load), but this is not the reason why i am posting a thread on the forum.
From time to time, when i start windows, the computer freezes every second, and it doesn't stop till i restart the computer.
When i move the mouse around it stops then moves then stops and moves and so on. I haven't installed any programs recently so i don't think its a program related issue, plus when i log off and leave it on the log in screen, the problem still occurs.
I did however recently switched two of my pci components, i recently moved my sound card which was right undeath my gfx and moved it to the bottom pci slot where my tv card was. I did this asi heard once in a forum that apparently it stops the cracking noise occuring from x-fi cards since it conflicts with the graphics card when playing games.
When i retarted my computer, i had to re-install the drivers for my sound card.
This stuttering problem happens every 1 in 10 cold boots and usually the computer runs fine, but when stuttering problem occurs, its a nightmare.
I tried resetting all the configurations in bios to default values but it hasen't fixed the problem.
I was wondering if any knew what may be causing the problem, may i have done something to any of the components while i was installing the cooler, or is it the recent changes i made to my pci devices, or is it because the cpu is running too hot?
Could use some advice.
