Hi all,
Yesterday my neighbour bought a new pc which has a A7N8X-X motherboard.
http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/so [...] erview.htm
He also has a ATI Radeon 9800 SE video card and 512 Mb DDR Ram. He is using the onboard audio.
He called me over because he said that the sound was "jerky" so I checked it out and both the sound and video was jerky indeed...and as well the mouse was not very responsive.
I went to the ATI website and downloaded the latest Catalyst Drivers and installed them. Upon rebooting his system instantly improved in all of the above areas.
Today he told me that it ran fine for about an hour and then the problem returned. When he reboots it's fine again for about 1 hour. I'm going over tonight to take a look at it again but I thought I'd throw this info out to see if this may sound like anything obvious to you guys.
Any suggestions based on what I've told you?
Thanks
Gary

Could be heat, you might want to see how well his case is ventilated. Also, those are really crappy video cards, they use defective chips in them.
