Hi. I'm having trouble with the computer I built about a month ago.
Some problems/things I have noticed:
-My computer 'skips'. The best way I can think to explain this is every once in a while it pauses. I've noticed when I move my mouse around in circles the pointer will stop every couple seconds or so and then keep moving just to pause again. When it skips, my general CPU usage hovers at 11% even if I close every program I have running.
-I tried running Housecall virus scan but whenever I do, the browser just shuts with no error message (IE and Firefox).
-Windows will not restart or shut down. I have to do it with the power and reset button.
-If Explorer freezes up and I have to end task on it, it will not open itself back up. It doesn't work when I try to run a new task either.
Restarting the computer fixes the problem but it just happens again after so long. Any help is appreciated.
