I just completed a major upgrade to my computer; new motherboard, video card, processor, memory, hard drives. I did a fresh Windows 7 install (what a nightmare it was to get my valid, authentic serial number working, but that's a story for another day).
Most of the time, the system is running lightning fast, as it should be with an 8 core processor, 16gb of RAM and overclocked NVidia GTX960 graphics card. But I have noticed that my system seems to "hang" pretty frequently. I'll be moving the mouse, and it just freezes for anywhere from half a second to as long as 5 or 10 seconds. The same thing happens with the keyboard; I'll type a few letters, or hit a hot key several times, and there is a 5+ second delay before the keystrokes register.;
Normally, I would assume something like this is caused by old or generic drivers, but I installed the manufacturers most up to date drivers for the motherboard chipset and graphics card. Is there something obvious that I'm missing? Something is obviously wrong; an $800 machine should never lag when doing nothing more than file browsing.
Thanks
