Win2k lockup for 3 seconds
This is a discussion about Win2k lockup for 3 seconds in the Windows Software category; i got this strange lockup when just doing my stuff with win2k. after a certain time the computer pauses for like 3 seconds and everything stops to work: sound, HD light stands still, mouse is locked.

i once had a mem manager in my system where i could see the actual memory load.
before the lockup it was usualy above 6 MB and after the lockup it was like 60 MB.
is that some kind of memory management ?
i mean a computer cant lockup just because it frees memory (not even the HD does noises while it hangs). i hope some1 could help.
its pretty nasty when u burn cds and the system stands still for 3 secs which causes a buffer underun...
