Running a Windows 7 64 Ultimate on an Gigabyte-890XA-UD3 with AMD Phenom II x4 955 CPU and 8 GB of RAM. I am using a Samsung SSD with 40 GB of space left of 120. My video card is HD5450. I am using 2 monitors and a TV set plugged through a USB to HDMI adapter. Usually I just use the dual monitor set up unless it's an HD film then I turn on TV - no difference which displays and how many at a time are used - the problem.
This is a new problem. I wasn't sure which section to put it under. At first I thought the problem was with Flash player and updated it. But even when playing a video from local network resources I encounter stuttering of sound. Moreover - not only when I use VLC but even when I use Winamp to play local SOUND files (not video) - I get stuttering and hanging. As for VLC - sometimes it doesn't open files properly - reports error.
The aforementioned problems are usually most prominent when the session has been running for a while or returned from sleep mode recently. The problem goes away after a restart and shows up a few hours (like 5-6 hours sometimes) down the road. Or may not occur for a few days and return sporadically. The temps are all doing fine - way below where I should be worried. Scanned with 8 different engines including Malwarebytes and - nothing. RAM use is normal. CPU shows minimal use and temps as well Did all the recent updates including a new GPU driver update - still the same thing continues to occur. Video and/or sound playback begin to stutter and pause. I wonder what this might be about - is it a hardware or software issue even? If I posted in the wrong section - do tell me.
One more thing - PC will not sleep automatically no matter what (old problem). Sound card will not go to sleep - for as long as there is an auxiliary headphone cord plugged into the blue port of the sound card. But I just put up with this because I use this PC to record music (I am a musician).
