Recently I noticed after several system crashes that programs like Firefox would become unresponsive for no particular reason and would lock up for about 10 seconds before resuming. It seems to happen most frequently on Youtube as well as when I am opening/closing tabs. I currently have the adblock plugin installed along with a few Greasemonkey scripts specific to Youtube.
In Deus Ex: HR, the game frequently stutters for no particular reason during gameplay, though never during cutscenes. Basically when it stutters the frames lag for about 1/2 a second before running smoothly again. I haven't really noticed this happening in other games I play (Like CS:GO or TF2).
My system consists of 4GB of Samsung/Kingston DDR2 667MHz 5-5-5-15 (OC to 800MHz) (Samsung in one channel, Kingston in the other), Samsung F3 500GB HDD, Athlon II x4 @ stock 3.0 GHz, GIGABYTE 785G US2H motherboard, and a HIS HD7750 graphics card. The CPU idles at around 18C and maxes out around 28C (as reported by Coretemp).
Like I said the system has been running smoothly before these crashes and I'm thinking that they may be related to the ram going bad since I've had it overclocked for several months now. It could also be the powersupply since I am still using the stock 250 watt that came with the Acer system back in 2008. Still this is everything I have and I don't think I would really be overloading that power supply with this setup.
