Intermittent 'Pauses'
-
I'm not really sure how to describe this, so bear with me... I'm having this problem on my development PC.
- HP ENVY Desktop - 795-0030 CTO
- Intel Core i7-9700
- 32GB RAM
- 64 Bit
- Win 10 Pro
My PC is fairly new, probably a year 1/2 old. Every few minutes I get what I can only describe as a "pause" that lasts for only a second or two. Everything stops - Mouse, Keyboard, music I'm listening to - everything. If I'm in the middle of typing, the key I last hit repeats across the page until the 'outtage' stops. I have run the HP diagnostic tools on it and with no issues found. I don't see any problems in Hardware & Device manager, and no OS problems either that I can see. It almost seems like a USB problem, but I don't see anyting to confirm that. So, I'm open to suggestion on this one. Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

If the pause doesn't happen during diagnostics (looping continuously), then it may be a driver or problem in Windows, or some other hardware problem. Windows can pause if the kernel is busy doing or waiting for something, completely unable to service any other interrupts until the current interrupt/operation is complete. An I/O problem with a USB device may also be gumming things up. Make sure all drivers are updated and see what happens. If the problem still persists, start unplugging things, one at a time, until the problem goes away.

Be sure you're not running multiple anti-malware programs at once.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
