Hey guys I just built a new comp heres the specs...

850 Watt Thermaltake PSU
E6850 Intel
8800 GTX Evga
2 Gb Corsair Dominator Ram
680i SLI EXGA motherboard
Antec Case
WD Hard Drive Raptor
Barrucuda Hard drive
Logitech mouse and keyboard

I have a problem... 2 weeks into my new computer... the games have been twitching. LEts say for instance you are playing warhammer 40k and are trying to move the camera around across the battlefield. THE CAMERA JITTERS, as in no smooth transitions, it cuts over the battlefield kind of a leaping image to the next part of the map.

It has done the same in battlefield 1942 jitters when panning the camera around also in Vampire masquerade BLoodlines.

It has never done this before til now. My comp is updated with all the drivers and downloads needed. Games too.

I have tried the following:
replaced video card
install game on different hard drive
lowered game settings
different drivers for video card
different motherboard slot for video card
unplugged each ram and ran them one by one
Connections...

Again this has happened 2 weeks into playing this game and using my comp

My only speculations now are Motherboard defect, power supply or ram defect.

If you guys have any opinions or know my problem PLEASE help me.

Another example is playing starcraft, trying to move the camera by pointing the cursor to the side of a screen again jitters across the battlefield skipping frames and what not.

Thought it was a memory buffer defect in the video card... completely wrong? Or is my second video card bad?

sounds like a deteriorating issue.

Any help?

Thank you
