Well I think I found the "flucuations" in task manager on the intel side.I clicked on it as soon as it was happening,and found that it was defragging in the background.Makes sense why I couldn't see this in the event viewer log.Yes I'm running it as fat32,only because I'm assuming the home version will be basically set up this way.One small but interesting point,a couple of weeks ago,I went on the internet,and found that IE6 made MS.com the home page all by itself.Anyone else getting any strange things like that?
