System: Asus G71GX-A1 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 2.0G, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M, 6GB DDR2)
OS: Win 7 Ultimate
I have recently been experiencing an issue in several games including Fallout: New Vegas, Left 4 Dead 2 and Heroes of Newerth. Every 2-5 minutes, the game will start stuttering, making it nearly impossible to act, click, or even move the cursor.
I have noticed on most games this can be resolved sometimes by turning off antialiasing, but this doesn't work at all for L4D2, and sometimes stops working for Fallout: New Vegas.
I never had to do this before. I'm uncertain what could have changed, as I didn't alter my setup. The problem persists after a clean re-install of Windows 7.
I don't believe it's an overheating problem, as the range seems fairly consistent whenever I check GPU/CPU temps (GPU ranges from 65-95, CPU ranges about 65-70). However, I'm not prepared to rule that out entirely. Also, it's worth noting that background applications, such as Ventrilo, do not experience any sound or performance issues that I can detect when this video problem occurs.
I have the latest drivers for my card. dxdiag info is attached. Any suggestions to further diagnose this issue would be appreciated.
