I am experiencing some issues which might be down to HDD problems. Every now and then the whole screen movement of cursor or scrolling in a window stops I can hear the HDD clonking away being updated or read and when it stops I have control again.
The Bios is set to IDE for the ICH SATA Control Mode with SATA Ports 0-3 native mode set as disabled.
I have tried ACHI but just cannot boot to windows with this setting. I do not have any raid set up as i do not need or use this.
Has anyone got any ideas as to what causes this lockout its some 10 or more seconds I have to wait before I can regain use of the system while the drive is busy.
I have an I7-930 quad core chip so would have thought that if the HDD was busy I would have still had control over scrolling and cursor.

HDD is Seagate Barracuda 7200.12, 500Gb Partitioned to C:\ & D:\

Sounds like your on a wireless/bluetooth mouse which might have an issue? If so, try removing the wireless dongle and switch to a usb or ps2 mouse to see if the prob. persists.

Interestingly I do have a wireless mouse but it never struck me it could be the cause I wll do some testing, I do have both the wireless & PS2 type optical connected at same time.
Wireless connected to front USB port so I can swap it between PC & laptop plus the PS2 connected via a KVM switch as I run two computers in parrallel.
I can switch single keyboard & mouse between them.
As I also have two screens this allows the two computers to display on two different screens with separate left & right hand mouse control for each screen.

But I will test this by removing tth USB dongle for the wireless mouse to see if it does it so watch this space for results.

After some testing the wireless mouse has nothing to do with it in fact it seems better with it than without.

Hi Graceman,

Usually a stutter like this is caused by either the anti-virus doing a check, something updating or Windows indexing. Some things to check anyway if you haven't already.

Windows indexing can that be turned off?

The stutter is quite pronounced and can happen frequently especially after typing and saving.
Can the TCP receive Window setting cause this? I have increased this to 128480
