hi and welcome to the forum. as much as you are new here, that's not an excuse to say "i'm sure it has been covered". you had 5 days to use the search button and read the forum rules. your question belongs in the hardware forum, as it's probably a hardware issue. to change the priority of tasks you can use the task manager (win2k or winxp, not sure about win 9x). there are also utilities to do that. you can also read the faq at the hardware forum, you might find some helpfull info there. avih.

As avih has stated, this is most likely a hardware problem, and with another request running in the Hardware forum that looks exactly like this one, we'll now close this thread in Newbies. Avih's redirect will help visitors to this forum contribute in the other. Thread closed. ammck55
