Hi all,

I am baffled by this. Every so often, around 2-3 times a day about
90% of the running applications go into a 'not responding' state but
the PC is not hung. I can still start Task Manager and launch new
applications (although they soon hang after launch). If you wait 5-10
minutes then everything jumps back into life - I just don't know where
to start troubleshooting.

Is there a application that can check what these processes are being
blocked on or give me some further help on this issue.

My system is an AMD 64 (K8NS Pro Motherboard) with 1GB of RAM and RAID
1 (mirrored pair).

Please help!!!

Thanks in advance,

Jason

Problems reading a hard disc or CD? I get a similar problem if I have a
bad
CD in the drive.

I have the same problem with Adobe Reader (verry common for me)..
I am using an AXP and dont have the amd64 but to be honest, I think that the
problem "with the program" could easly happen on any system (or maybee just
AXP based ones)..
List the programs that seem to lock up and MAYBEE someone out there might
have registry hacks that will help them run better.
