System freezing?
I only reformatted my machine 2 days ago and already it freezes for about 5 to 10 seconds every few minutes or so. Is there any programme I can use to see what process is causing this?
When I use Task Manager, the 'Performance' tab shows the CPU usage peaking to 100% and then drops but if I keep the 'Process' tab open, nothing shows up as using any more than about 5% although there are plenty of aplications listed.
Edit - I've just tried uninstalling NAV 2004 and *so far* my machine hasn't frozen, I really hope that's not the cause....

Re: System freezing?
Yeah I'm using XPsp2. I uninstalled NAV 2004 but I have an old copy of NIS 2002 kicking around which is apparently far less resource-hungry. I installed it and *so far* things seen to be a lot better...

My system was locking up with NAV 2004 pro quite a lot....
But since I reverted to 2003 pro it's been ok.
I hope you manage to sort your computer problems out 
Perhaps you could merge them all into a super Russ' PC problems thread
