Half sec freezing and question about drivers

[MrGohut]

Hello there! 😀
Lately i've got problem with freezes for about 0.5 sec or something like that, when i'm watching a movie, sometimes when i'm playing but that happened only once and when i'm using the net.
Anyone know what's the problem with this win? :c
Intel i5-4460
GTX 960 4GB
Corsair 450W (orange)
2x4GB GOODRAM oc to 1600MHz
Crucial 250GB SSD + 500GB Seagate HDD

Another question is about drivers. Should i update / install them manually or Windows 10 does that automatically? Same goes for fresh system.

are your graphics drivers, flash player and java up to date?

Hi,

Do try to uninstall/reinstall the latest graphics driver for your PC first.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the NVIDIA GTX driver.
- Check Programs and Features and uninstall anything related to Nvidia.
- Next is to download and install the latest graphics driver.
- Here's the link: nvidia.com/download/index.aspx
- Once installed reboot your PC for all the changes to take effect.
- After the reboot set NVIDIA as the default graphics card. Please refer to the link below.

- Once done do observe your PC again if the same problem will persist or not.

And regarding your question about updates. 1. You can set Windows do all the updates for your if you set it to Install the Updates Automatically, 2. You can set Windows to download all the updates but you're the one who will install them instead of leaving Windows with all these task.

Thanks, i'll try And yes, everything is up to date.

Regarding drivers - i can choose only auto updates or to "let me now if i have to restart my PC" (or something like that, i don't know how to translate it correctly 😀)

Well I have reinstalled and I've had the half second freezes. Make sure you have Java, Flash Player, and use ur Utilities Install cd or backup disk or track down your drivers for your hardware. Or in rare occasions use DriverMax to get ur drivers for you but careful cuz that program will say you have like 12 drivers to upgrade. If you bought your computer from a store, you should be able to go to the website of the brand and find all your drivers.
