Thanks for the help guys, but today i have another problem.
Just about 1-2 weeks ago i was sitting comfortably in my living room gaming away when i noticed the game i was playing started having problems. In the mist of playing my keyboard locks up and mouse freezes and i can't move my character at all. I can't even alt+tab to task manager to fix the problem. I noticed the windows vista error sound play and then a few seconds later the game resumes normally.
I thought it was the particular game, but when i ditched it and started playing navyfield i noticed the same problem occurring there.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem?
I was thinking driver related problems or possible graphics since the problem never occurs outside of gaming. When the problem happens the green lights for numb lock etc.. quickly off and on. I have disabled trusted installer thinking it was lag durring game and that cause the information to pause....I have recently reformated my hard drived with the disk that came with the computer and did a full installation of windows updates.
Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Basic
6.0.6000 Build 6000
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.80GHz, 2792 Mhz, 1 Core(s), 1 Logical Processor(s)
Total Virtual Memory 4.19 GB
I have an external hard drive (seagate) which i installed about a month ago. I have unplugged it and still had the same problem.
I also added a 1gig mem stick before reformating.
My computer is really dusty inside and i have thought about air cleaning it with that air spray stuff, but my computer temp never goes about 104 degree f.
Im clueless on how to fix...
