Problems with current window freezing

[Blaahval]

I have had this problem for a while and it is getting really annoying.

My problem is that the current window freezes and I can't access anything. When I use alt + tab to go to another window and back, everything works fine again. This happens randomly, so I have no clue about whats causing it. It should be noted that this continues after severals formats of the drive, and I have just recently scanned for virusses and spyware.

As far as I remember, the problem started when I changed to my current AMD64 processor.

My current system is,

AMD64 3000+ (Socket 939)
Asus A8V Deluxe
Powercolor Radeon 9700 Pro
Maxtor Diamond 9 120 GB HDD
512 MB Kingston ValueRAM PC2700

Could this be a driver problem or something? I can't think of anything else.

Thanks in advance.

hmmm im not sure and i highly doubt the answer that im giving u, but hey ill give it anyways. Even though u have 512mb which is a good amount, you might have some realtime virus scanners or other programs that are what i like to call "Memory hogs" but still that doesnt explain why alt tabbing it would make it better. Prob a bug or something.

I don't have any virus scanners installed on regular basis. I believe that common sense is enough.

It could be a bug - but I just don't see why thousands of other XP users don't experience it then.

Thanks for your input though.

I'm afraid it didn't help.

Any other suggestions?
