Hey all,
I haven't posted much lately because I moved into a new house. Anyways, I'm having some problems with my computer ( I built the comp after I moved to the new house so the connections are ok). I have a EVGA 122-CK-NF68 mobo and get a lot of choppiness with the computer. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens often enough. And it's not always when the computer is under a lot of stress, sometimes it happens when I just have one browser open and sometimes it's fine. But I also notice it when the computer is under stress. I recorded a st****ing radio file for 7 hours becuase I was at work one day, and when I play it the computer really starts to stutter (mouse) after a couple minutes. I haven't been playing around with computers so much the last year so I'm really out of it information wise. I know people had problems with this board because of the reviews I read when I built the computer. but I'm about to install flight simulator and am afraid the computer is going to get choppy when playing it. FYI, it's never crashed except once: yesterday I got a message about not having enough disk space or something like that when multitasking.
I have an EVGA 8800 GTS video card, sound blaster live sound card, 2 36 gb raptors in RAID 0, and a WD caviar hd, and Intel E6600 2.4 GHz overclocking to 3.38 GHz.
I was thinking....that it may be the RAID setup. While the computer is responding slowly (choppiness), the hard drives seem to be caching a lot or transferring a lot of data. What could be the problem with the RAID setup as I'm not familiar with problems. Could it be the cluster size I chose when I created the array?
I am OC'ing, but I'm not sure how relevant that is to the problem. everything is fine when at the desktop. Earlier today, it got really bad when just surfing the internet??? I'm stumped.
Thanks
