Annoyed by system hangs

Shuichiro said:

The problem has been ongoing for quite sometime, which had me watching my system resources for memory hogs, which nothing has become obvious enough to raise a red flag.

Lag also occurs outside of browsing, when watching regular video and when running programs without the browser.

use the link below to check your speed, im curious

CNET Bandwidth Meter: Online Speed Test - CNET Reviews

I would also check for a virus or something!

See if anything is logged in event viewer. usually with lags there will be critical errors revolving around an app hanging.

There are several ways to find what the problem is. The best is to go into event viewer (type eventvwr in search). Go to the windows log>application tab.

You want to look for critical errors (they have red in the left column ).

When you find them you want to look for critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the problem.

When you find them please note the event ID, and the source codes and tell us what they are.

Let us know if you need help with any of this.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) Event Viewer had few to none critical errors.

Here's a snapshot of DPC while nothing else is running on the system in the way of applications.

I do believe it has mentioned your problem right there.

or did i miss something?

It was 2 crits each several weeks apart. Problem is much more often than that.

Lag spikes on the DPC latency checker is a connection problem for certain. It sounds like you tried getting recent drivers already but have you attempted to update the firmware on your router yet?
