Thank you.
I like to keep my computer switched on for a long time, so that it is easy to play videos or music in less time.
but, i need to restart my computer each time to get a smooth video or music play which defeats the purpose.

I even bought cpu cooler as I thought that's the problem and a new graphic card.

My rig is:

Upon initial buying the computer (best performance):

intel i7-3770K not overclocked
intel desktop board dz77bh-55k
internal HDD WD 3TB green
2 kingston 8gb rams
coolermaster psu 550 w
sapphire HD 7770 GHz edition


Additions later on:
WD 1TB blue
samsung SSD 256 GB


More later on:
seagate internal HDD 4TB
Noctua DH 14 CPU cooler
changed PSU to xigmatek 750W
asus nvidia gtx 760 direct CU II OC
CPU casing from generic cheap one to thermaltake MX+ armor to suit noctua DH 14
audio card asus xonar essence STX


Kindly provide your expertise.

I live in hot temp climate country all years. Malaysia. air cond only switched on when I'm in the room of course.

Thanks

whatever your build is, pelase swap the PSU
coolermaster psu 550 w is considered a junk and troublemaker

pick one from the following brand
Corsair, Antec, XFX, Seasonic

xigmatek is not a really popular psu maker
PSU is not just about capacity, quality matters
so it will be better for you if you can find the brand i mentioned above, in malaysia

XFX 550W
Seasonic 520/620W
Antec High Current Gamer 520/620W
those are my favorite

Sounds more like a software issue, than hardware. Windows (any of them) is infamous for just this. Most times, its all the stuff windows keeps in its temp caches. Try a good cleaner, like CCleaner from piriform.com (free download) and set it to clean out the garbage daily (takes 10-15 seconds)and a good system clean weekly and your system should run a lot better for you.

Can I make a small point.



1. If the trigger point in the bios for the temp reached is set to throttle the cpu core or by auto sensing. The core speed will drop and likely the cause.

Cure a better after market cooler for the cpu if using the stock Intel cooler.

Just thought I would mention it as you never stated if you were using a stock Intel cooler.

So down clocking the core would be the cause of judder in video playback ect.

As the cpu is down clocking so the stock cooler can dissipate or cope with the heat build up.
