| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Random drop in performance. How many programs are you running? Do you have an antivirus software? It might be that you've just got infected. Do you do anything before the lockup happens? Might be a corrupt program. |

| | Re: Random drop in performance. I have been having a similar problem. When I open up my task manager it says that 98% of my cpu is idle. My cpu is idle and my comp barely works. It also only seams to happen while gaming. Although thats pretty much all I do so im not sure. "comphulk" wrote: Quote: > > How many programs are you running? Do you have an antivirus software?
