Anyone have this issue?
All games play fine. Then, one day you start seeing stutter every 2-3 seconds, tearing, artifacts in games. Basically all your games become unplayable because of the annoying stutter and freezing.
The following were given as solutions to this problem:
a) Bad HDD
b) RAM is wrong type
c) CPU is bad
d) update drivers
e) It's win7
the list goes on.....
Turns out to be a relatively simple solution.
As a gamer I wanted to keep track of my temperatures while gaming.
I installed MSI Afterburner, which monitors my GPU temps. I installed another program which monitors my CPU temps.
Together, both programs allowed me to see my GPU & CPU temps - ON SCREEN - WHILE GAMING.
Then - my video started to stutter. At the time I had no idea why.
Another person on this forum had the same problem (different program but does the same thing). They uninstalled the program and the freezing went away.
I wasn't using the exact same program, but when I uninstalled the program that allows you to see your CPU temps on screen, my video stutter/freezing went away.
I would suggest keeping track of what you install and when you start having video issues. It took me weeks to track down this problem, all because I didn't pay attention to what I was installing and when I ran into video problems.
Just thought I'd pass on this solution to the many people who are still having these video issues.
I didn't have to re-install or update any drivers, upgrade my RAM, swap out my HDD, update my chipset........ just uninstalled 1 little program.

But I will take note of this for the foreseeable future.
