Hello you'll
I've trying to install Windows XP Professional in my
system for a while. The problem is that every few seconds
the system freezes for a fraction of a second. This goes
on and on.
This "freezing" is enough to get very irritating. Even the
mouse "stutters" during that freeze time. You cannot even
listen to a simple wav playing, because it sttuters.
The task manager lists nothing that is weird. Except that
everytime the system freezes, the process Explorer.exe
get's some CPU and then releases it.
In the performance monitor I could see that there is
a "Interrupt time" that behaves like the Processor time (
20% of the CPU) at the moments the system freezes.
My conclusion is that it seems to be some driver that is
taking too much time to service some interrupt. I've tried
to run tracertp to identify the process, but it comes out
as "segment". Is there a way of "seeing" which is this
interrupt or driver?
I've installed the latest drivers from ATI, Creative Labs,
VIA and HightPoint. I've also flashed the BIOS to the
latest version. I can see no light. Can anybody out there
help?
I had Windows98SE before and it worked very well, whitout
those glitches. I've also installed Linux and I saw that
there is no sign of any glicthes, either. So, it doesn't
seem to be a hw malfunction.
My setup is:
- ABIT KG7-RAID motherboard
- AMD Athlon 1400
- 768MB of PC2600 DDR RAM from Micron
- Two Seagate 80GB 7200rpm IDE HD connected to the master
ports of IDE 2 e IDE 3 (Highpoint HPT370 raid controller)
The HDs are seen as one 160GB by the system. They run as
RAID-0 configuration.
- One LG CD Writer connected as master to the IDE 1
- One Seagete 7200rpm 120GB HD pluged to the IDE 0
- One Create Labs Audigy sound card
- One ATI Radeon VIVO (Radeon 7200) AGP video card with
64MB
- One Realtek PCI 10/100mbits Ethernet card
Windows XP with SP1 and all updates.
