Sorry, I am running a Pentium computer. I think its a 3Ghz with a gig of ram. It is Microsoft XP. I think i might have goofed up a setting or something. I thought i had a virus and was using a lot of the tools that were suggested while i waited for a response. I don't think i had a virus it must have been a false positive or a misreading by avira. Anyway everything was fine yesterday, but today my sound was skipping. I tried a restore to yesterday when i was all done with everything and cleaned up. I wonder if i deleted something when i was cleaning up or something.

Sound and video skipping where?
Internet, some multimedia player (which one?), DVD, CD?

[alphonzo]

It does it online, and running mp3, and avi. It even skips as i log into windows chime. It seems like a patterned sputter, as if the system is a giant wheel that hits the ground every one second or so and causes it to hesitate.


Edit: 1 second not half second I timed it

Download Process Explorer: http://technet.micro...s/bb896653.aspx
Unzip ProcessExplorer.zip, and double click on procexp.exe to run the program.
Click on View > Select Colunms.
In addition to already pre-selected options, make sure, the Command Line is selected, and press OK.
Go File>Save As, and save the report as Procexp.txt.
Attach the file to your next reply.

I uninstalled some programs i recently installed. LIke internet explorer 8, DNS program, a firewall program, It seems to have improved it a lot, but problem is not gone. Maybe i somehow lost some driver files or something

[alphonzo]

I attempted to run crucialscan.exe It bluescreened me with the following : IO system verification error in Crucialsmbuscan.sys (WDM Driver error 224) Beginning dump of physical memory to disk:

It looks normal, but....
Try to play some video, and then take another snapshot with Process Explorer.

[alphonzo]

still skips like once per second.

I remember adding a security update, im going to uninstall that and see if that fixes it.

[Broni]

Process Explorer doesn't fix anything. It only reports what's going on on your computer.

While NOT playing any video, System Idle Process (CPU NOT used) is listed at 90.30%
While playing videos, your available CPU cycles (System Idle Process) drop to 1.23% (!)
The rest is used mainly by:
- system - 38.89%
- WMPlayer - 10.49%
- explorer.exe - 9.88%
- DPC - 7.24%

The cause of this problem is unclear, yet.

Download, and install SpeedFan: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php
Post your computer temperatures:




Post two sets of results, one when computer idle, and another one, while playing any video.

[alphonzo]

That program speedfan caused my computer to Bluescreen with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR EQUAL


just like the crucial scan did.

[alphonzo]

oh i tried again and it worked, just a sec.
