Well, i figured i would come to y'all since i have exhausted all my resources and to be honest im at a loss here.... To begin i have already done the basics.. defraged my hard drives, bios update, revamped my cooling system, updated drivers.. the works. Now for the problem. For the past while (about a month or so) any really demanding games i have (Battlefield 3, Bioshock Infinite) have these really random frame rate drops, and by drops i mean more of a stutter, the kind of stutter you would get in a conventional game when the game saves or loads a new area, usually a second or two delay in the game, now if it was just that i would be fine but it appears to be totally random and as i said before im at a loss. I am just really hoping somone here has a similar problem or have found a solution to this

As always here are the system specs
OS: Windows 7 64 bit home premium
GPU:Radeon HD 6870 OC'ed to 955/1160
CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.2GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
750 watt power supply

Again any help would be greatly appreciated , i currently am working with EA's people to get this resolved but its kinda touch and go right now since we are communicating through email, hopefully i can find a "quick fix" or something i haven't already tried.

Thanks a bunch

Also forgot to mention the times that the drops happen there seems to be a shift in graphics processing to the CPU from the graphics card itself. The 5870 will go from 70-85% usage down to 30-50% and the CPU usage shoots sky high to about 90+

Thanks
