Stuttering Audio Video

i am having the same problem, same system too, except i have an Asus A7V266E Motherboard..... What the hell?

Putting the LAUGH back in SLAUGHTER.

The kind of skipping you've described can be caused when the hard drive is paging, can also cause slowdown or stuttering during games. Might not be your problem but perhaps worth considering. Do you use any disk management tools?

I have Norton System Works Professional installed. I've run the defrag tool a few times. That's about it though.

During a normal windows session, use CTRL+ALT+DEL and note the processes that are running. Look for any CPU usage rates above a few percentage points. Memory usage is also useful to know although you should have more than enough to avoid your current problems.

When you talk about defragging, are you referring to Norton Speed Disk? The position of your files on the hard disk does matter, particularly if you use them frequently. If the skipping occurs at regular intervals, this is less likely to be the problem.

Again I'll mention that the problem may well lie elsewhere, but you may as well explore this and see if it helps.
