by My HP Visualize FX4 550 is stalling for brief intermitant
periods and locking-up totaly at times. (Even with no applications running)
The operating system was Windows NT and
is now 2000, the problem persits.
The only data that I can find relating to
this is from Task Manager performance page.
When the problem is occuring, the CPU Usage
chart will show usage at 100% for about 3
seconds on uneven cycles about 10 to 15 seconds apart.
Sometimes the CPU Usage will rise to 100% and
not come down, from this point on, the computer is locked.
The Mem Usage chart shows no change.
The Processes page of the Task Manager
reacts too slowly to show what process
is using the CPU. I can hear the CPU sound
go to a higher pitch but the Process screen
is locked-up and doesn't show what process is running.
(Maybe it isn't a process?)
Please let me know if you have any ideas what this is.
Thanks
Jon Schmidt
