Hi all,
I recently set up a PC from different old parts I picked up:
- Motherboard MSI MS-6309 v2.1 (Chipset VIA Apollo Pro 133A - Socket 370)
- Celeron 733
- 288 Mo SDRAM PC100
- Voodoo 3 3000 AGP
- CD player, PS/2 mouse & keyboard, ...
I've installed Xubuntu 8.04 without any problem, everything works "perfectly" (except the following problem) for Internet, music and video. But...
I have some kind of strange and extremely annoying issue: the system keeps lagging/freezing every approximately 3 seconds, during maybe 2 tenth of a second.
This seems to affect nearly everything running on the system: mouse moves, video & sound playback, etc. and makes any operation quite difficult to accomplish.
Something weird is that after trying to remove or deactivate the different components to check if the problem was not hardware related, I finally tried to boot on the LiveCD of Ubuntu 7.04, and this time the system ran perfectly.
So my questions are:
- Does someone know where the problem could come from?
- Is there a significant difference between Ubuntu/Xubuntu 7.04 and 8.04 that could cause this kind of behavior?
Thanks in advance.
(Forgive my English
