Tables Locked into position

Ok guys heres a weird one,just started happening,and it does not matter whether i use Internet Explorer Google Chrome or Download.....

i open a few poker windows,then all of a sudden i try and move one of these windows over to other side of screen,and it all locks,i can still scroll main page up and down but cannot click on anything, i have to press CTRL ALT DELETE,then just select cancel and i can use keyboard again.....but the moment i try and move any of the poker windows,it all locks again...

I have run virus checker-nothing,registry fix-no faults,tried all 3 methods of play(IE,CHROME,DOWNLOAD) and after a while they all do it..

dont think it can be my software...but maybe you can help?

Try installing Process Explorer (from Microsoft) and leave it running.

Go to view /> Select columns and add CPU History then you will get a program by program breakdown of CPU usage like this screen shot below.

Next time it happens open Process Explorer and see if you can see if anything is spiking the CPU usage.

ok, have discovered that if i open the lobby of the tournment game i playing i can move the windows again,but if i close it then they freeze again and cannot be moved,it is all very weird,and most noticeable when i have 5 or 6 games in play.

Strange symptoms for a faulty ram chip, but good job on fixing it.

I did think it was strange that would cause the problem.  Usually a memory failure would result in a lockup / blue screen of death.

I would still put it down to software and Process Explorer would be the way to find the culprit.
