Annoying one minute pause when using my computer
My old XPS-700 has developed a problem. I am currently on pre-release version 15007 but this problem has been with the machine for several builds now. I can be working along and at random the mouse cursor will freeze and so does the majority of the system, although the computer is not dead. About a minute later it gets out of some loop (or error condition) and I again have control of the mouse and can work for quite a while before it happens again. I am new to troubleshooting this type of problem,and I have downloaded the latest SDK and ran it and just loaded the Windows debugger. Since I am new to debugging can anyone give me some pointers on how to use the debugger to figure out what process is crashing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't think this problem had anything to do with the pre-release software just something else going on. NOTE: I have gone through many drivers and made sure they could not go to into a power saving mode and also the same thing with all power plan items.
