It's an ASUS desktop with a AMD A4-6210 processor and 8GB internal memory.
I bought it only 3 or 4 months ago. It was kinda shit right from the start. It had annoying freezes every few mins. At first I thought it was cause the Processor was using up to 90% of its capacity. I killed off McAfee which was using way too much, and that made the 'pauses' become less frequent, but they were still there. It happened sometimes in Worms too, the screen would just freeze for about 20 seconds (making my opponent think i lagged out).
Anyway, right now, it seems the freezes are still there every now and then, but it's become worse cause now it has these moments of 'lag' as well. And where before the sound would stop during the freezes, it now plays on during these little lags. Which causes my music to go 'brrrr durrrr prshsh' before it plays on... in the best scenario, cause sometimes it goes so bad the whole system crashes (the monitor turns off and I have to hold the power to shut the PC down). I'm now at a point where I don't really feel comfy playing music at all anymore cause every few mins it goes to the point where i fear the whole system will crash yet again..
What's the issue here? Why did I get complete system freezes? And why does it now affect the music/sound where it didn't before?
It kinda started with the sound in rocket league going bad (like it had extra bass being played on a cruppy pc speaker). But yeah.
Is it a prob with some drivers? Or is my PC just a piece of crap to begin with? Gosh
And I mean this lag is everywhere, even in really low-demanding programs (like saving an image in firefox, or saving it in paintshop). Whelp.
