System configuration
MB ASUS P6X58D Premium
CPU Intel i7-960
RAM Gskill F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL
HDD 2 x Western Digital Raptor WD1500HLFS 150GB
PSU Corsair 850W CMPSU-850TX
Graphic GeForce 9500GT 1GB (a cheap card I had in the old computer) - I tried with EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB also
My system is not stable, I never tried to overclock it, I use it for business purposes. The main work I do is photo and video editing. No gaming at all.
It happens a few times a day, the system becomes very very slow suddenly (cannot do anything at all). It doesn't freeze completely but it's so slow I cannot even change between the programs I have opened. The mouse moves normal on the screen (it shows the busy/working sign instead of the arrow) but that's about all I can do. It stays like that for a few minutes and then comes back to normal. It is frustrating and unacceptable for a business. I cannot afford to have the computer down for a minute. I usually show work to clients, sometimes I'm on the phone and have to send email instantly.
I talked to Tim @ Gskill, he was really nice and helpful, great customer service (you cannot find too many companies that offer such a good customer service these days - I talked to ASUS before and they hung up the phone on me 5 times, horrible customer service). Tim suggested me to use the XMP setting in the Ai Tweaker which helped a bit, but still not perfect. I'm just trying to see what suggestions I get here before I call Gskill again. Maybe even a Gskill moderator can jump in with advise.
Thank you!
