Choppily Running PC

[ajm5082]

OK so i just formatted my PC and as soon as it comes back to life it runs all choppy, Internet explore jumps when scrolling, and games lock up for a second or so and sometimes crash. I have since gotten all updates for Windows XP and the problems still persist. Advice?

Have you installed your motherboard chipset drivers? And all drivers for major hardware?

 

[DarthCat]

Memory?

Advice?

I would reformat. Start from scratch. With some new motherboard + chipset + 3Dcard + etc etc -drivers. But thats just me.

I had that problem before, it was my gfx drivers. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

There is a 512MB + 128 MB of Ram I believe everything is updated... i did all the typical windows drivers updates for hardware is there another way to check for more updated drivers?

 

[ajm5082]

And i have installed the latest gfg drivers. tried that first

Sounds like display drivers need to be installed. If not the mobo drivers need to be fully installed and display drivers need to be re-installed. It is definately a driver issue.

There's the problem, you installed the wrong ones. You were supposed to install the GFX drivers

Yeah, definitely install your video adapter's drivers

 

[ajm5082]

no luck with the video/chipset/motherboard driver updates

Try 1 stick of RAM and see if there's an improvement.
