Here is my specs:
Asus M3A78-EH
AMD X2 4200+
XFX Geforce 8800GT
2GB Ram
320GB SATA
650W Corsair PSU
My problem is quite weird, I did not have it before my recent upgrade (upgraded mb, gpu and psu). Whenever I try to play a game like CoD4, Medieval 2 or Pacific Assault, I get this stutter, like if there was a scratch in a CD plate. It's quite hard for me to explain, and I've never seen it before. The games run fine, but about every 10-20 seconds, the game stops for 0,5-1 seconds and loops the ongoing sounds. This seems to happen more and more as I play. It also happens just as much on low graphics settings as on high settings.
I suspect that there could be a temperature problem here? But I downloaded speedfan, and it tells me that core1 is stable at around 30c and core2 is stable around 50. Core2 goes up to 58 on a very heavy load. I've read that the maximum temperature for my CPU is 61c, so this could be the problem? I just don't know if "core1" and "core2" are both cores on my CPU, or if one of them are my GPU or what? Speedfan tells me nothing about a GPU temperature anywhere...
Also, I have noticed that when my computer has been turned on for about 20 hours or so, when I play any sounds, it starts making scratching sounds, like white noise. That also lasts for 05-1 seconds.
I have checked all drivers for my MB, GPU and sound card, so I don't think they are the problem here. Could it really just be the CPU temperature? I have tried formatting and re-installing windows, but all the same problems occurred again.
Help is greatly appreciated!
