WTF?!

Postby Mees » Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:07 am

Now I have a problem, my system starts to give the nasty habit to just stand still/stutter for about 30 secs from time to time(only in FS), and I it pisses me off! Now could it be a dieeing PSU, too big FS folder or plain weak system? :'(

If you have a fragmented hard drive it will increase loading times, but it shouldn't cause major stuttering, especially for 30 seconds. I would try other 3D applications and see if there are problems.

I'm thinking if its system hang then it might be a shortage of memory. That or maybe an overloaded processer.

defrag and virus check mees, it seems to be name of the game, and its what i would do.

if it was a dyeing PSU you dnt tend to get much warning from my experience, they just blow in the middle of an intense street fight in day of defeat GGRRR!
or in your case some flight to EHAM :P
