Computer hangs every 30 seconds in all programs

My computer freezes every 30 seconds.  Sound stutters and hesitates the cursor.  Freeze only lasts for 1 second, but this is very embarrassing.  It happens in all programs and at all times.  I have tried several programs fix - it as advanced system of cleaning and difficulty cleaning without result.  I downloaded process Explorer and it shows my use of cpu amounting to a normal 7 to 20 percent when the stuttering occurs.
I have a Dell Studio XPS 9000
Intel Core i7-920 processor
8 mb L3 cache clocked at 2.66 ghz
8 GB SDRAM DDR3 at 1 066 mhz
ATI Radeon HD 4350 w / 512 MB
Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

This started about 2 months ago and drives me crazy.  Any help will be much appreciated.  I really don't want to go through the trouble of reinstalling windows 7.

===========================================

Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

above is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
found)
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

  • Running for some time, firefox 'hangs' every 7 seconds 3 seconds, typing, scrolling, navigate... all functions to follow the cycle of 7 seconds break. Why?

    This problem does not appear to exist until "free" download of Windows 10 installed. I've waited too long to return to 8.1, now stuck with the $ @# @ 10 software. Using a FF browser "synchronized" to work (win 7) I have no problems with the cyclical lag during typing, scrolling, etc. Be totally irritated with win 10, I tried once again to try Linux (Mint) and noticed that the SHIFT does not seem to be there when you use FF in Linux, which has installed from their 'package '. This shift occurs every 7 seconds to 3 seconds of insensitive cursor, typing keystrokes, scrolling action... whatever. Suspecting some 'supplement' to go funky, I have removed ALL addons... no improvement. This forum works on 64-bit, 2 gig memory, relatively new machine that had no question to win 10.

    Hello

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will need to restart Firefox before this takes effect so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    1. Click the menu button

      then select the Options under Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux.

    2. Select the Advanced Panel, then on the general tab.
    3. Uncheck the use hardware acceleration when available.
    4. Restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    If the problem is resolved, you should check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in these articles in the knowledge base:

    ------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    all programs would stall on 90seconds after departure upward, you can move the cursor, but nothing happens.  ATM the cpu does not start even upward.  I suspect a worm I can do?

    If you think that it is a worm or a virus, you can run a standalone virus scanner that starts from a CD/DVD or USB

  • Computer freezes for a split second every 3 seconds, the cursor disappears for a split second and the clock freezes and restarts.

    Original title: OS time questions continuum (microfeezes)

    It seems that my computer freezes for a split second every 3 seconds approximately. My cursor disappears for a split second, and because the clock freezes and restarts, it displays a worst time of the day. Audio and video have the same gel splitsecond. The problem persists in safe mode. Dell Inspiron 1520, servicepack2 of vista running. I've never had any problems with this machine. Here's a video I took of the number: http://youtu.be/fbUeK8U7wHw

    I would like to know if there is other info/specifications that could be useful.

    Thank you.

    Good,

    1:
    Updated the chipset drivers even though it said I was with the best.

    2:
    Run a SFC scan, which revealed no violations of integrity or files not repaired.

    3:
    five hours and 8 infected files later, my computer is totally cleaned.

    I opened the event viewer, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. There are many changes to the machine because it began to act up, which were intended to correct the problem. I installed the Service Pack 1, then 2, scan MS Safety and new chipset.

    I also ran a memory diagnostic, but all was well.

    What should I look for in the event viewer? I know that the problem started in a 12 hour window. Should I save and post the logs at the time?

    There is a certain mystery. We need Sherlock Holmes.

    -UPDATE

    I have reset the system to its factory settings. Now, it's as if it were new.

    The problem persists. He still hiccupping. It freezes again for a few milliseconds about once per second. And I'm going crazy.

    UPDATE 2-

    The computer was closed for about 12 hours and when it restarted and Windows initialization complete, the problem disappeared. It works normally for a vintage computer 2007. I'll let you know if I learn more.

  • audio interruptions every 30 seconds on WAV recording AND playback - computer laptop Dell 1545, Windows 7

    Recently (the last couple of weeks), my laptop Dell 1545 with Windows 7 started having a problem: when I record or reading any WAV file (or a file MPG or WMV video too by the way) with any application (I tried several), there is a stuttering or interruption every 30 seconds like clockwork.  I have tried everything and can't seem to fix it.  During playback, it causes a split second buzz or silent, on the record, missing just a fraction of a second of audio, leaving a 'leap' in the best stuff WAV audio recording.  The only changes that I made in the system in the past month have been a few updates to Windows 7.  It ruins any recording or playback, I try to do, and is very frustrating.  It does the same thing on the files that are years old and new files (reading).  If I burn these files to a CD or DVD, they play very well in the CD drive or DVD, is not a problem in the files (except those currently record during breaks).

    What I tried:

    Much, restart several times.

    Reinstall the driver for my audio interface, even if she did the same on the native sound card too.

    Download the new driver from the audio interface and install it.

    Back to the old driver, then again to the new.

    Tried to record from multiple sources, ditto.

    I tried recording through the native as well as audio interface sound card.

    Deleted 40 GB from my hard drive.

    Defragged my hard drive

    Off my anti-virus program

    Close all other programs other than playback of the file.

    All USB disconnected elements.

    Tried to plugged the charger and entirely on batteries.

    RAM tested.

    Tested CPU.

    Nothing has worked so far.

    Any ideas?

    DWasnich: I had the same problem as you yesterday after restoring my Dell Inspiron 1545 to factory image. Through process of elimination (as mentioned Gokul T) I was able to determine that one of the services was originally the audio and video to jump to 30-second intervals. I disabled the 'Intel Matrix Storage Monitor' service and solved the problem. Why this service was installed and running after the factory reload is confusing. This is one portable hard drive without needing a RAID System. I hope this has solved your problem too! Joe

  • My computer beeps every seconds 18-20

    My computer beeps every 18 to 20 seconds, then we love it it will shut down immediately!
    Is this hardware problem?

    Hello

    In my opinion, this is a typical symptom of a malfunction of the equipment. On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. You must contact the partner in your country. I think that just systematic check can give more answers.

    Good bye
