Never seen this before and its drivin me nuts...

Hi!

Well I started up a game last night and noticed a cycle that repeated every 1.5 seconds. The screen would freeze for about 1/2 a sec then continue on with the game. Also, if you open up a minimized window and drag it around the desktop, it pauses for about 1/2 a second every1.5 seconds.
Since this is a brand new system with a brand new install of XP I went to Task manager to see if any memory resident bugs were running. What I noticed was this.
The cpu has a constant usage of about 13% and it jumps to 15% occasionally during an idle state. It is showing as the Image name SYSTEM.
At that point I exited and booted to safe mode. No cpu usage at idle state. I have trend micro and scanned....nothing. Spybot....nothing. Adaware....nothing.
Restored it to a few weeks ago....nothing.
I have "Hijack this!" but could not see anything weird.

Have you tried using msconfig and unchecking all the startups that you don't need? You could do it a few at a time and see if that's what's causing it. It'll be a long and tedious process to troubleshoot but maybe it'll help. Also check at Blackviper's site and see what services can be shut down. Just google Blackviper and services.

Well all I can say is man I am a tard. I moved my desk and when I moved it I plugged in my Zip250 drive into the parallel port. Well it wasn't plugged in before I set up my system and when i unplugged it and rebooted, my cpu usage dropped to 0% at idle.........I guess it was ok since Trend Micro kept finding virus and virus just recently. I gues my MSI board doesnt like the Zip drive.....

Thanks anyway man!

I've found that some games (Doom3, for example) don't play well with real-time AV scanners.

For both Trend Micro and NOD32, adding the Doom3 folder to the real-time scanner exception list will speed up scene-loading.

Hope this helps!
