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?
View 9 RepliesMy desktop keeps stuttering every few minutes or so. I have all of the drivers up to date and I cannot figure out what is wrong. The problem occurs the most while watching Netflix and playing games, but happens pretty regularly in general.
Specs:
Core i7 2600k
Asus p8p67 deluxe
Asus Engtx 570
Corsair 8 gb 1600 mhz ram
I've had my asus eeepc 1001pxd running at 16 bit ( just changed it)and my internet keeps freezing up especially when I im watching video. When i check the task manager it shows that I'm using a load of cpu when I open new page I've changed my browser from chrome to mozilla and finally now to Opera which seems to work better but whenever I'm online it seems to freeze up. I've had some other little glitches too. Once in a while the keyboard just stops working and also once in a while arrow keys just start turning the screen upside down out of the blue. I've tried to figure everything out. but to no avail. It even froze up (not responding) when i started the event viewer.
Here are the details from my eventvwr from the last week. 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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
When I play audio or video files located on my NAS (Q-NAP DS-210) in Mediaplayer (on my mediacenter) and streams the media over DLNA (Twonky) the audio / video stutters annoyingly.My Mediacenter pc is running windows 7 64 bit Professional edition. It is connected to my Q-Nap DS210 NAS server through a 1Gb ethernet network. If i play the same audio / video files through a mapped network share i either mediaplayer or mediacenter everything works fine
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhile either watching a video on the internet or playing games I get this sound crackling/popping, I think it's because the video itself is stuttering and causing the issues (but the stuttering is that noticeable) and while playing games the stuttering is much more noticeable and the popping sounds happen at the same time.I have no idea what is causing this issue, I had no idea where to post my problem either, I don't know if it's a video issue, sound, memory, windows, etc
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery few minutes to a hour my audio does this stuttering sound and either the ingame video I am running will stuttering or a slight screen freeze if I am not playing anything. It will only happen for a few seconds then go back to normal. I am not sure why this has started happening as the rig I have is custom built. At first I thought it was iTunes as it happens more often with it running but it occurs even with iTunes off.

I have experienced problems watching videos or playing music recently were sometimes it lags for a few seconds and the sound becomes very digitized and choppy. Also my computer crashed once this month watching another video, but I didn't get the BSOD. The same thing happened this time, only if froze and then I got the BSOD. I don't know if this is related, but I've been experiencing problems during start up with windows. Periodically the computer freezes while loading windows on the 'Please Wait' screen, just before the login screen is displayed. Usually it happens multiple times consecutively, when I restart my computer from the first freeze it freezes again multiple times. I then have to spend the afternoon trying to turn my computer on, until I can get to the login screen without the computer freezing.I've got a hardware problem too, but that's probably unrelated. The laptop speakers randomly stopped working a few months ago, I'm planning on sending it in to get fixed soon. Just thought I'd mention it in case it's relevant somehow.
I need a program what will show you my hardware, drivers ..., but I don't remember it's name.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was watching a video and my laptop HP Pavilion G6-1b54ca fell asleep and logged out. Once I logged back in everything was working fine except there was no audio. I've tried doing a system restore, uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and reinstalling it, disabling and enabling it, restarting, running antivirus, and ensuring everything is updated on my laptop. Nothing is working, there is no audio from my built in speakers at all.

my PC randomly hangs and makes a lovely noise (through the speakers rather than the computer itself) when listening to music, watching vids online/offline, gaming, basically at any time, when there is no sound it still hangs for a second when moving the mouse but makes no noise through the speakers. I've just done a clean install and have removed all OC to see if it makes any difference, all drivers are up to date with latest versions from manufacturers, i'm about to pull out my sound card and use onboard sound to see if that's the issue, but i believe i've tried that once before. Have experienced BSOD on this rig, but haven't had it for a while.
Here's my rig:
Win 7 Ultimate x64
Intel i5 3750K, stock speed
8Gb Crucial PC3-10700H RAM
Gigabyte Z77-DS3H mobo (F9 BIOS - not F10 beta)

Seagate Barracuda 500Gb HDD
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.
I imagine I don't need to include much information as your nice new tool has everything you need.
View 3 Replies View Relatedwhere 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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedStarting about a month ago, after six to seven months of my laptop working fine, I've been getting video and audio stuttering whenever gaming or watching most HD videos and after messing around with my drivers I realized that whenever my Realtek HD Audio drivers are disabled my video runs flawlessly, but when enabled both video and audio stutter. I'm using a Sony VAIO laptop so I'm assuming that the sound card isn't easily replaceable. I've tried using the newest drivers straight from Realtek's website and also the outdated driver provided by Sony's website, both of which result in the same stuttering. Sony has also replaced the motherboard once and it did not resolve the issue.I'm currently running Windows 7 with 6gb of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 330M graphics card.
View 16 Replies View Related[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.
My cable port is broken on my tv, but I do have a HDMI port. Is there a way to hook up my tv using the HDMi port to my PC, but watch the TV monitor, and not the PC monitor?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a 2 year old HP computer running windows 7. Never had any problems until last week. It just shut down while I was on it. I tried restarting, it would go to the log in page and shut down again (not shut off, but actually shut down). When I would try to put my password in, it kept typing letters until the box was full. I tried system restore and finally had to do system recovery. Upon finishing that when it restarted, it shut down again. I kept trying and it seemed to stay on longer each time til I finally got it to work. Was ok for about 5 days and started all over again. I wasn't able to open and reinstall my personal stuff.
I don't have a password on my restart now and it sometimes will load everything but mostly shuts down after it says welcome. Sometimes it will stay on an hour, sometimes won't stay on at all. Since I wiped it clean pretty much, surely if there was something file wise, I would have removed it? Is it the computer itself I have Norton Internet Security 2012. I cleaned my keyboard, thought maybe a key was stuck the way it would keep typing like I had a key pressed. I noticed it sometimes does that if I am typing, then shuts down.
when certain keys are pressed several keys are pressed at the same time. there are corresponding keys and the coupling is not random.
