Strange LAN problem with my new XP
Hi all,
I installed winXP in my new AMD 2500+ with Gigabyte GA-7N400, it runs very sweetly. Just with two problems though. When I do high speed transportation with lan (both ADSL or inhouse), I encounter some short pauses to the system occasionally, the whole computer got frozen for a second or so. What exactly can it be? Secondly, when it's playing mp3, I can't do graphic works in the foreground like dragging the scroll bar, otherwise there will be a lot of noises come with the music. I experience the same thing with my old Althon system, why? Is it AMD has something wrong in sound system? My system has these: AMD XP 2500+ Gigabyte GA-7N400 512MB SAMSUNG PC3200 Winfast A340TDH 128Mb IBM UMA100 120GB with 8Mb cache Any one? |

Next question is, what program are you using to play MP3 files? How many little icons are loading into your taskbar tray? This can be a surprising problem when really considered. I would frequently run into problems with little "speciality" programs like My Comet Cursor and nearly anything from Gator Corporation. Try a clean reboot, then go into your system to find out how much you have free on system resources. You can do this by hitting Crtl-Alt-Del. From there you select task manager, then select the performance tab. Then look at all of the info and see if you are using too much memory. Try doing this when you are running the MP3 software what is giving you fits. As for the LAN related things, it sounds like the same problem you may get once in a while when tranfering data from one drive, cd or hard drive, to another. One simply has to catch up with the data it is being sent. Often the buffers start to over flow and tell the system to stop while it "catches it breath" so to speak. Chris |
