Hi,
The problem: Huge inconsistent stuttering during games - Diablo 3 / Skyrim [Stuttering / delayed inventory, images won't load straight away, up to 5 second delay] / Bioshock Infinite.
Interestingly, I can sometimes boot the computer and games will run perfectly, however when I reboot the stuttering has returned.
For quite some time i've been having extreme difficulties with my HP h9-1330ea [ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03542305 ] Desktop computer. The machine came shipped with a Radeon 7770 card which I had extreme stuttering with. Stupidly, instead of sending the computer back I was convinced it was the GPU and so I purchased a EVGA Nvidia 660ti but still the same problems occured.
I think it might be worth mentioning that when I first put the card in the machine it wasn't getting recognised, eventually I figured out that secure boot / legacy support in the BIOS was creating the problem.
Now, i'm no professional but my gut instinct tells me that it's the intergrated graphics card [HD 4000]. Last night I thought I had figured it out, I went into the BIOS, enabled intergrated graphics, plugged my monitor into the onboard, went into device manager and disabled the HD 4000 device as I cannot see the card in the list if I have disabled onboard graphics.
I phoned HP and they asked me to try everything I had already tried 10x over, re-installing Windows, un-installing / re-installing Nvidia drivers ETC. I'm pretty sure this is something to do with the HD 4000.
I'm running on Windows 8 with an intel i7 3770.
I've had the computer put in for a benchmarking test and it passed with flying colours so I can rule out overheating etc.
I really hope someone can help me, this is driving me crazy to the point of returning the machine
Thanks in advance!
