Hello!
I've been having this weird issue where my entire computer lags up for a second or two and then continues like normally, it only seems to be doing it when I'm watching videos. I'm not sure if fullscreen or not affects it, I'll will try that later.
I started having these freezes about 4-7 days ago and as I said, it seems to only occur when I'm watching videos. I've tried both VLC and WMP but it still freezes and when I've watched whatever I'm watching and then close down the media player it freezes again randomly afterwards but only once and after that it never freezes again until I start watching something again.
"Specs"
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4GHz (temperatures are fine)
GPU: XFX Radeon HD6870 1GB, not OC'd.
RAM: 2 x Corsair 4GB (1x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz VENGEANCE
MB: MSI 970A-G46
PSU: Corsair TX850w
The only new thing that I've installed since the issue started appearing were some Realtek audio drivers for the motherboard. I've also noticed how the CPU usage sometimes spikes, randomly jumps from 5-8% up to 30-50%, even if I'm not doing anything.
I'm going to try and not watch in fullscreen and see if that does anything, if not then I'll try and uninstall the Realtek drivers. I suppose you might need more information and I'll try to provide some more if you ask. Hopefully it's not a hardware issue, but I suppose I can try some HDD test or RAM test.
Also, I recently got the MSI motherboard and when I installed it I "might" have bent a few pins on my CPU, managed to straighten them out (enough) so I could place the CPU back in the socket but if the CPU was the issue I would imagine this happening more randomly and not just when videos are being watched.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

. Anyways, I'll keep googling tonight and see if I can find something else.
