Windows 7 64 bit Pro is acting funny - Icons keep going blank need help please..?
Hello I'm using Windows 7 64 bit pro on AMD's 8150 CPU with 8 gbs of G-skill 1600MHz Ram 2 Sticks of that memory and a 1 tb hdd from sea-gate that runs at 7200 rpm.. I'm having a huge issue with start up lag with icons turning blank/ white and glitching normal and blank for a few secs. I've tried using msconfig, I've tried over clocked the cpu a tiny bit.. My cpu is 3.61Ghz, I've over clocked it to 3.91Ghz basic stuff that I've tested with Prime95 and its stable.. But my Icons still aren't acting right, so I tried removing all but 3 and unpinning everything in the task bar.. Didn't do much good.. I think the lag starts with my netgear wifi driver while, my Internet connects and does find a signal while logging in the icons turn blank. But I did notice it takes Malware-bytes' Anti-Malware(PRO) 5 whole Min's to load which too me is freaking insanely slow for this computer. My PSU is fine, my video card is fine, my cpu seems stable and fine, my ram could be bad? The memory seems to pass all tests and its set to normal volt 1.5 - The package did state they where made for Intel CPU's, so maybe they memory sticks from G-Skill aren't working will with AMDs 8150 CPU ? I'm not really sure what the true issue is as of yet. But I know good and well I have good parts in my machine I built. I tried cleaning the registry one thing at a time.. It kind of helped.. but not really.. I really need some advice, Should I buy ram and if so which ram works AMDS 8150 8 core cpu and the ASUS 990FX SaborTooth Mobo?
