Well basically i've put together a new pc spec is:
q6600
2gb crucial ballastix ddr2 8500 ram
asus p5k mb
Razer baracuda ac-1 soundcard
running on win XP
nvidia 7600 (not upgraded yet )

My problem is that in any program or just when it's idling the pc seems to lag or have like a second where it freezes. I've tried disabling all the **** in bios for intel cpu's check msot of my drivers ever tried a format and fresh drivers etc. but nothing so far has seemed to fix it. The problem starts around a week ago and i have no idea why or how it started (pc is about 1 month old) any help /suggestions would be appreciated as title says i'm just out of ideas atm

Hello Spike Welcome to PCHF

If you have done a full format and restore then the first thing I would try is taking out pieces of hardware and try running the computer. For example, remove the video card and try running without it (if you have onboard video). If you don't have onboard video, try testing another video card if you can. You can try removing all but one stick of memory and try each stick of memory individually. Also try removing all the other peripheral devices if you have any like a pci modem, network card, etc.

Also, go to the website of the manufacturer for your hard drive and download their free diagnostic tool. Use it to create a bootable disk and run a diagnostic that will test the integrity of the hard drive.

If all that comes out with no solution and you continue having the problem, then you probably have a problem on the motherboard. It is possible that it is a faulty power supply, but unlikely.

Let's go from there
