Hi guys I am having an unusual trouble.
It started about 3 days ago.I had Win 7 32 bit since october and now I am facing a stuttering problem . When I am playing a game like Battlefield 3 or Fifa 14 . And if i pause the game for some mins and leave my pc untouched then my screen begins to stutter. If i move my mouse or i press escape then it fixes the problem but only for a short time. And then after 5 or 10 mins it starts again.
I want to know if this is a serious problem and how to fix this. Please Please Please help me.

Is this a laptop?

You should also switch to a 64 bit copy of Windows if you can find a CD. You're same CD key should work.

32bit Windows can only use 3.5 GB of RAM, so 512 MB of RAM are not being used by your system. That includes the videocard RAM.

You need a 64 bit OS. And yes, you will need to reinstall windows and all applications

Ok so I need to format my C drive . But the 64bit has many bugs. I tried this OS previously and my Graphics card stopped working. So will still remaining at 32 bit okay? and will only a format fix my problem?
And I guess this is not a Serious problem. The error with my graphics card was that "windows cannot identify the
digital signature of the driver" whilst using 64 bit . So i want to remain at 32 bit even if it lags my Pc performance
a little bit. My only problem was the intermittent stuttering while viewing videos or playing battlefield 3 if i leave my mouse or keyboard untouched for 3 mins. Note :- this did not happen in any other games and neither did it happen during watching movies and music using various players like VLC or KMV.

Because I work for a living? You want to pay me, I'll respond faster. Relax.


Windows 64 doesn't have additional bugs.
When it was first released, 16bit applications wouldn't run. You won't be using any 16 bit applications, so you won't even notice, except the performance difference.

Hey man thanks for the reply. Another question will this stuttering problem return again to haunt me or it will be just fine? . And I have a comparatively small screen size . My max resolution is 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz and 1280 x 720 @ 59 Hz . So will shifting to 64 bit affect this ?. And I have already ordered 64 bit from MS website. My screen ratio is 4:3 and sometimes on games I turn it into 16:9.

Please don't bump threads or insult other members. They are volunteers, and if you upset them they're well within their rights to go elsewhere.

Hey friend listen . I have found tomshardware very useful and friendly than any other computer related website. But this guy does not even answer the topic we have asked for. I posted my problem and I wanted to know what is causing it as well as the solution. He just answered that I need a format and install Win 7 64 bit. I mean that is my choice to chose what OS I would like to have . For example if ask you that how to fix my house plumbing and you answer that bring a plumber and I have a house on sale in L.A. and you must shift to it. He just answers out of the topic and that after 3 days if I ask him why wasn't he answering.

You realise I can still see the insulting posts I deleted?

He also said that you don't need to buy a new copy of Windows to move to x64 - you ignored this.

There's no rule that says he has to reply. He could have gone on holiday or something. Or left because you were annoying him.

You asked why you were having issues. He said it might be because of a 32-bit OS. That's pretty likely. And not off-topic.

No. I did not say that . His solution was that I should re-install the windows file . That could be either 32 bit or 64 bit. He said to install 64 bit because it uses more ram but that was not my problem. I just asked him that what was causing my problem and he gave the solution that It would need a format .
And you can see what I meant by not replying . I posted my answer on tomshardware yesterday and now you reply today and I appreciate that for quick replying. It is better than most other sites like Ask Yahoo or askmefast
where you get your answers after 3 to 4 days at minimum. Anyways I think my problem has vanished after formatting and I have installed 32 bit once again and now it works perfectly . I think it was a problem with my Amd Catalyst 13.12. So let's no longer continue this thread or most literally this debate.

You are way off in left field here. Windows is an operating system, not a file. You are using a 64 bit processor, therefor it makes sense to use a 64 bit operating system.
64 bit Windows will overall improve the performance.

You marked my post as the answer, I didn't read much afterwords.

I already said that after installing 64 bit I get an error that windows cannot identify the digital signature of the graphics card driver. If I shift back to 32 bit the problem fixes . If you tell me how to resolve this problem then I would gladly install 64 bit

Use the 64 bit version of the videocard driver.

Will even a 32 bit installer run on 64 bit. What a silly answer. When I start the installer it detects my OS and installs the drivers

Some 32 bit applications should work fine, but use the 64 bit version if available. Videocard drivers should be for 64, but sometimes the installer package includes both and will install the proper one.

Dude can't you understand I installed 64 bit win 7 and 64 bit driver of my video card. But that gives me an error saying windows cannot blah blah blah! . I have been trying to tell you in so many posts that that error is my problem.And the stuttering problem due to which I started this Stupid thread was fixed after installing AMD Catalyst 14.4 . So if you have a fix for the digital signature error you post an answer otherwise just leave it as it is. I do not want an 64 bit operating system. Just close this thread

Digital signature error? You're not getting the drivers straight from AMD, or the install disc is corrupt. Check the hashes.

See above

What videocard do you have?
Where did you download the driver from?

What is the exact error message?

Stop making assumptions and post the actual results, not what you think they are.

Post the exact error or a screen shot of it.
You are using a fresh install of Windows 64 bit at this point?

I am making assumptions. You idiots didn't you read my above post . For the last time I am telling. I installed 64 bit win 7 I got the error for my GPU driver.I shift back to 32 bit . The error vanished and my GPU ran perfectly. You are now telling me to shift to 64 bit. So I did . Installed 64 bit driver of my GPU. The error reappeared . I again shift back to win 7 32 bit. The error vanished. Now for the love of Christ , I am asking you do you know the solution to the digital signature error. If yes kindly post it. If not stop posting any answers . I did not download the driver. I installed it from the DVD I got with my Graphics Card .
If these simple sentences did not get into you dumb heads for the past few posts then read this post.

READ READ READ READ READ !!!!!!!!!!. READ THE WHOLE POST , LINE BY LINE AND IF ANY SOLUTION POPS UP IN YOUR HEAD POST AN ANSWER OTHERWISE FOR HEAVENS SAKE'S END THIS THREAD AND STOP POSTING ANY THING FOR THIS THREAD.

Ah. You installed it from the DVD. That's usually a bad move; they're out of date and easy to scratch. Scratches result in checksum errors.
