Computer Is Stuttering
Jun 16, 2009
I've been poking my head around in forums and websites for this issue already and i can't seem to pin-point the problem yet
I recently built my own computer and it worked just fine for awhile. But now it seems to have some issue because, at seemingly random times when the computer is running, it begins to stutter and slow way down. Any help at all with this issue would be awesome..
Resetting the computer seems to be a very temporary fix and sometimes it boots but and begins to stutter right away. I've checked the system start up programs and eliminated a lot of unnecessary programs because i thought it might just be the cpu getting bogged down when everything was booting up but to no avail. I've scanned for viruses, I've tried to go back to restore points to see if it was some software or updates i may have installed and it screwed up, but still nothing... it's just getting flustrating *sigh* Anyways, any help would be amazing.

where my notebook starts to stutter after coming out of hibernate whenever the power is plugged in. The mouse doesn't move, the audio goes out, videos stop, and sometimes I get a black screen that disappears in ten seconds. Sometimes after the black screen I get a message saying my video driver recovered. I am running a nVidia 8600M GT with up-to-date drivers. The problems usually resolve if I restart but it's really irritating that I can't get out of hibernate without this stuttering. Switching back to Vista also fixes it. I've tried reinstalling drivers and reformatting with a clean install of Windows 7 neither of which helped. I didn't have this problem with Vista although I had another power issue in Vista (which I still have with 7) where if I put my computer into hibernate with the power plugged in, the computer wouldn't start again until I unplug it and take out the battery.

[code] My computer was stuttering badly recently. It runs smoothly in games like FIFA 12 initially, but after a period of time (could be 5 minutes or an hour), the game starts to stutter. FPS doesn't really drop but the game stutters so badly I couldn't even play it. As I exit and try to load Skyrim, the initial loading might take up to 5 minutes, which is incredulous even when loading the world map. That aside, Firefox was also stuttering whenever I tried to scroll, be it a page full of graphics, a text file or pdf.All these problems could be 'reset' by restarting my computer but the symptoms just come back soon after. Thought I might have too many programs installed, so I decided to reformat my computer and reinstall a clean copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Didn't really help though. After installing all my drivers, the problems persist.I am currently using AVG as anti-virus and didn't detect any rootkit virus or anything.
My CPU temperatures are fairly normal for Core 2 Duo E6600, doesn't go past 60C in the tropics. The CPU loads <10% when idle and max out when playing games. Same goes for GPU. None of them are overclocked. The problems only happen in the past month or so. Encountered no such problem previously, therefore I suspect it could be fault on the hardware part.

Computer started stuttering all of a sudden when playing a video or even typing and e-mail (letters lag on screen). I've ran scans with all kinds of anti-malware software (avast!, AVG, Malwarebytes), but they all come out clean. How can I tell whether this is a hardware or a software issue?

I've been using the 360 as an extender to play mkv files mostly fine. However larger mkv files with ac3 audio stutter and don't play correctly at all. Files with DTS play fine however.
I started off only using the DivX mkv tech preview, with ac3filter. I've tried various other combinations since to no avail, at the moment I'm on a clean install with the 2 mentioned above and the shark007 pack.
Any ideas?

I just built a brand new PC this past thursday and ever since then my games like WoW and Left 4 Dead 2 have been getting Stuttering from the sound and game freezes for like 3 seconds then goes back to normal until another random time and happens again. At first i thought it was my graphics card so i swapped it out with my older one that was fine playing the game.I looked on many sites to see if people have had this issue but im having a hard time finding my exact problem. I've updated all of the drivers for everything in my device manager and went to the graphics card site for the newest update just in case windows didnt get the newest.

I own a MacBook pro that is dual booting Windows 7 with bootcamp. Up until about 3 months ago I haven't had any issues. I run my Windows 7 partition about 99% of the time. However, in late November I noticed my computer would start to stutter. That is, no matter what program I was in (Firefox, Word, Outlook, watching a movie..didnt matter), what ever action I would do would freeze for a second or two followed by it catching up to itself. This is the case for the mouse if I was moving it, a webpage scrolling, or typing an email response. I originally thought it was just a virus and decided to wipe my hard drive and just start over. I reinstalled Windows 7 again, and I instantly knew my problem hadn't resolved itself. It is incredibly frustrating and is definitely affecting my productivity.I have tried everything I could think of to fix the problem- updated all the drivers I could think of, reinstalling the operating system again, etc.

I have a Toshiba that is less than a year old and whenever I listen to music, watch movies or watch videos, my laptop will create a loud buzzing noise and will stutter. This happens every few minutes and it has got worse the past few days. I've done quick scans on Norton and it hasn't found any viruses, so I don't know what is causing the stutter.

I've been having this problem for the past couple of months and it's driving me insane. I've searched for hours on end without any luck of a fix. The problem is that my mouse lags (or stutters) every 5 seconds. The lag can sometimes be so bad that the mouse completely stops working for a few seconds. I've gone through 3 mice and they've all had the same problem so it can't be because of the mouse. The mouse I'm currently using is the Logitech Anywhere MX.

360 slim, plays my mt2s files great, but I have these mp4 movies that when I start them (in the videos area, as movies section locks up the 360), they play for a few seconds, then black screen, and then audio for 30 seconds or so, then that starts to stutter. Sometimes I can play it, and if I FF to 1-1.5 minutes, it sometimes works. These are my blue ray rips.[CODE]

Some of my .mpg videos periodically stutter during playback on 64-bit Windows 7 if played through WMP 12.0.7600.16415. If played back through VLC 1.0.3 the problem doesn't happen. Problem happens whether in full-screen or windowed mode. The stutter points are consistent and reproducible -- happens at the same place in the video each time. Doesn't happen with all mpg videos, only some.There's nothing else running on the machine. Perfmon shows almost no CPU activity on all cores, and no significant disk or network I/O.Video: EVGA GTX-275, latest nVidia 8.17.11.9562 drivers. CPU: i7-860 @ 3.78Ghz. Disk: WD Velociraptor 300GB SATA. The same mpg videos play fine on a lesser-powered XP machine (2.4Ghz Core 2 Quad Q6600) through WMP 11.0.5721.5268.

i am now running 7201 but have had this problem since windows 7 build like 6595 or whatever it was,. anyway my problem is that whenever i play on-line games like tf2 and l4d i get great ping usually like 50ish give or take but for some reason every few minutes or half hours depending on what it feels like that day my character and everyone else s will just freeze in place like my pc doesn't know what to do with them like its not frame-rate issues but rather a network issue i thought it was my router and network but i even got a brand new router and wireless adapter.
this didn't happen ever on vista so idk so in short my network basically stutters while playing on-line games and every once in a while ill get that yellow symbol on my network status next to the clock but i just have to wait a few seconds or disconnect and then reconnect so can someone?
BTW my old router was a linksys wrt54g and my new one is a d-link gaming router i have a linksys wifi usb adapter.

[Fixed Possibly] Turns out its a known problem with wireless n-Draft cards. Causes stuttering, no know driver fixes are available from what i found out but there is a workaround, using bat files you run at every startup. If anyone wants to know PM and i'll dig the link up again.Anyone else getting this issue? Running 3.0.8 on 7077 32-bit. Like, it started loading pages pretty slow (quite noticably) and my whole PC, music and everything, mouse even, stutters while it does so... I just changed it to compatiblilty for Vista and will see, but it is an odd problem. Think it was with the browser or my wireless card i recently got? Nope, its still doing it!! when i load new pages.

I have been doing a lot of searching around and have found COUNTLESS forum threads about people having problems with their games.First let me say: this is NOT related to Hard Drive Hitching, this is related to stuttering. I find many people on those forms would reply with "defrag the hard drive", which is not related to stuttering.Ok, so reading thread after thread on this problem I have found something that is playing a huge roll into this. One of the biggest fixes I read about is "roll back to the older video drives . . ." and a lot of people said that worked, but it seemed for the majority this didn't work. It certainly didn't work for me.Alright, here is the deal. I too suffer these damn "micro" stutters. You notice them mostly when looking down on the ground in your games and moving forward as well walking forward and looking to the side at the same time. It's hella-annoying.
Time after time, fresh install, tweaking the OS out, changing this changing that. Even latest and greatest drivers.Then I found out the most interesting thing about this problem: chipset drivers. Before I go into this I want to mention that in Windows XP Pro I do not have 'any' stuttering in my games whatsoever.Ok, the big find in Windows 7 that's causing these stutters (from what I have researched) thus far. Windows 7 is not allowing me to actually install the chipset drivers. After downloading the drivers either from Intel or Gigabytes webiste neither will install. (yes, I do "Run as Administrator" )However the chipset drivers for the SATA hardware 'does' install, but the PCI bus and everything else, Windows 7 refuses to use those drives and instead only uses the Microsoft drivers.I have NO doubt in my mind that this is why myself and thousands of others are having these stuttering problems due to the chipset drivers not being properly installed by the OS itself.lright, so what can I do to get Windows 7 to use/install my Chipset drivers, and has anyone ever heard of this? I run the inf installer (run as administrator) and sure enough as I watch it install it only goes off and installs the SATA drivers and turns around and tells me it's completed. Going into Device Manager the PCI Bus and other motherboard drivers are using Microsoft drivers only.

I have a Toshiba dual-core laptop that came with Vista. When the HD died I replaced it and installed Win7. Under Vista I could watch video and listen to music with no problems, but under Win7 I get stuttering, sporadic and unpredictable but often severe rendering the experience unacceptable. It happens with all software, but I notice it most with my preferred software VLC. It still happens with The KM Player but much less.

I use Windows Player (version 12.0.7601.17514), extensively on my Chillblast PC (Windows 7, Intel i7 860 CPU, 4G RAM, Via High Definition Audio version 6.0.1.7300 (latest)), and every .mp3 file played (i.e- has a break in playback) for ½ a second or so exactly 20 seconds from the end of the track. However when I play the same tracks on another media player (e.g.- RealPlayer), the whole track plays perfectly

Looking for ways to solve stuttering while listening to streaming audio, discovered that when stuttering occurred, System CPU usage was above 20%. At 20 or below, no stutter, although DPC Latency Checker might show latency around 150-200.Checked all drivers, etc, as suggested by DPC info box.Finally, tried stopping all services related to WD. Western Digital's file management software seems to be the problem. I did stop every one of them and have had not stutter for approaching half an hour. Stuttering was occurring every minute or so, lasting a moment, or several.This may not be the only problem, but so far so good.

I've looked through a bunch of other threads to find a solution to this problem and so far haven't had any luck, so here goes.
I've recently done a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate RC 64-bit Build 7100 on my Dell XPS 420. Everything was running fine for the most part but recently i've been getting an odd stuttering when booting into windows. This problem seems to occur randomly; sometimes windows boots and is perfectly fine. I've also noticed that neither my network or sound volume icons appear on the taskbar and many programs refuse to launch. Right clicking on the desktop seems to show the most noticeable stuttering since it takes 5-6 seconds for the menu to appear. Basically it makes windows unusable.
There are a couple of things that i can think of that may be causing this but i'd like to see if any of you might have come across this before i spend time reinstalling every application or reinstalling windows!
I've got a Quad-core Intel Centrino, 8GB RAM, nVidia 8800 GTS, Creative X-Fi Fatality. I've installed manufacturer drivers for the sound and graphics cards. I also have Steam, Norton Internet Security 2009 and MagicDisc (Virtual CD Drive) installed. I do have MagicDisc and Norton installed on my laptop which is running the same version of windows and i've had no problems with that.

I was recently trying to play a game on my Nvidia 9500GT when it started stuttering intensely. I thought it was a processor issue, since it was reading at being under 100% load, but when I checked my temperatures, the CPU was barely under any stress while the video card had heated to 111 degrees. Sure enough, when I tried it again on a different game, the frame rate dropped after a few minutes and the card was heated to 113 degrees. I'm assuming the card overheating is causing the stuttering, but I wanted to be sure before I ordered any new parts.

When playing video via my xbox 360 extender the picture stutters almost like it's dropping some frames and the sound is unaffected but the same video playes just fine on media center via PC.Both wireless and wired connection with no difference, It's wired at the moment on a 15m / 50ft cable gone to tune network on the xbox 360 media center extender and all is good full bars all the way to the end of HD.Installed shark007 codecs pack v367 and the 64 bit components v367/I have sat and watched the PC performance in task manager whilst streaming to the xbox and don't think there was a problem there, The CPU stayed at a steady 8-12% but peaked at 30% when ever a stutter happened and the ram was a constant 55% with no change. In the networking tab usage never went above 12%.The video file I'm trying to play is AVI, Data Rate 1523, Bitrate 1653, 25 FPS thats all i can tell you i dont really know anything about video formats.PC spec is not fantastic but should be fine to stream to one extender my friend manages with a very old xp pc with only 512mb ram but he uses tversity.

which is a toshiba l750-0dp. i have downloaded a program called latencymon which basically looks at what processes are causing the highest page fault resolution time. so the service thats causing the most pfr is ndis.sys, apparently this is related to the network drivers and also tcpip.sys causes the same issue. i have downloaded a few drivers from my manufacturer's website trying to fix the issue to no avail. it would come up every now and then after using my computer for a minutes. like 30 mins in to it, even if im just browsing the net watching Internet or that sort of type of things. i also noticed that there is a big spike of lag on modern warfare 3 now which never used to happen, as i have been using the computer for 7 months now this just suddenly came out of the blue.

my friend has a netbook and she will be playing any sort of sound, video ect... and it will freeze the whole computer. The sound starts to stutter loudly and eventually it ends up at the Blue Screen Of Death.Is this a virus? Do we have to take her netbook to a Techie person?

I have a HP-DV6-6050 laptop, bought it last august. It was running fine up until a month or two ago. I don't recall what I did but I think it was the time I installed Dragon Age: Origins. Either way, I noticed some problems since then. Firstly it became very slow...even deleting files took longer than usual even of size 18 bytes.Programs and folder would take time to launch.
Secondly, which is a big headache, audio and video files now get stuck every 3-5 seconds while playing them. It is there evn in VLC player. I tried defragging, some kind of a memory test through diagnostic startup, and even returned the system to factory settings. Sometimes it seems to get better.. but only for a while. Also, the graphic card switching mechanism seems to be a bit buggy. When I plug in the power source, the dialog box to switch the graphic card doesn't appear.

I'll start with system spec's to be sure I do not forget to post them after explaining:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3ghz
4GB of RAM
Windows 7 64-Bit OS
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+
I also run Dual Monitors, the monitors are the exact same model (which i do not have with me currently and don't think would matter, if needed i can get it)
(If need any more info let me know, I'll reply with it asap)
Now for the problem...
I have been using Windows 7 64-bit without a single problem on this machine since Windows 7 was released. Ever since then I have had no problems doing, well really anything until about 2 weeks ago. I usually play video games on my main screen whilst watching movies/streaming tv on the 2nd screen. The stuttering is constant when watching streaming videos in full screen mode, even when doing absolutely nothing else on my computer. If the video is not in full screen mode it plays fine. If I pop the streaming video out of the browser and F11 it to make it full screen that way it does not stutter at all this way either. I do not believe it to be a bandwidth/internet connection issue though as I also encounter problems when watching movies from my hard drive. The movies from hard drive issue is not exactly the same though. When watching a movie from my hard drive and playing a game the audio and video will skip about half a second every 4-5 seconds instead of a constant stutter. However if I am not playing a game or doing anything else on my computer the videos will play fine. I have updated my video card drivers and the audio drivers as well as bios on my computer but am still having the same issue.

Stuttering while streaming videos and playing games?

I've been having this problem where my CPU is constantly hovering at around 30% usage, and after investigating with ProcessExplorer and Task Manager, I've found that the process responsible for most of it is the "System" process in system32 (the description says "NT Kernel & System"). Unfortunately, nothing seems to be able to pinpoint what exactly is causing this process to be using so much of my CPU. The reason this is so annoying though is that when the System process reaches 15% or higher CPU usage (which is does pretty frequently), any sounds my computer is playing stutter very obnoxiously. This makes it really unpleasant to listen to music or try to steam videos with sound while my CPU is constantly spiking. how to troubleshoot this or some common causes of these symptoms?

I have an HTPC with an Asus P5E-VM HDMI mobo with IG35 onboard graphics and a E8400 Core 2 Duo 3 GHz CPU with dual boot Vista 32bit and Windows 7 32bit setups. HD works OK under Vista 32 bit using the latest Intel Vista driver but it struggles under Windows 7 using the WDDM 1.1 driver automatically installed by Windows.
The stuttering is fairly random but occurs very frequently and most likely due to the CPU maxing out under HD resolutions (as I assume most of the graphic processing is being done in software). When I look at CPU performance while displaying HD, it shows that the CPU is working very hard. If I set the screen resolution down to 1024x768, it copes OK.
Should there be some hardware graphics acceleration with the onboard GPU under the Windows 7 driver or does it have to rely heavily on the CPU? I don't understand why my CPU is not coping as it's a good spec. Are there any tweaks or settings that would improve things? I cannot understand why performance under Vista should be better than under Windows 7.
If I can't get it to work properly, I might have to put back in my noisier HD 4670 512Mb GDDR3 card to take the load off the CPU which I shouldn't have thought to have been necessary.
