Yep it was pretty amazing on how I found you really. I was doing research on computers and a video for a AMD CPU popped up and I remember that exact video. It was the AMD Phenom II 965. I just looked it up and its even in 4:3 resolution. I'm even still using the same CPU I had for about 3 years(I7 920) I have been putting that thing through so much pain really. I do 3D animations with my graphic Design work. So you can imagine that thing cranked 100% (OC 3.8) for an entire week. But props to intel, its still alive and kicking today....Knock on wood, I still need it. My favorite series will have to be the Main Channel, Linus Tech Tips, Just because it has been my go to source for just about everything computers and Tech. But TechQuickie is very close, very close. Its funny though, I kind of miss the outside reviews. I remember when you unboxed the NZXT phantom that I have. It gives a change of scenery to the audience, instead of the same thing all the time. I have the perfect products for you to review. Theres the Little Dot 1+ (what i use), maybe check out the Seiki line of monitors and TV's? They make some of the best TV's for the price in my opinion. How bout something weird for Headphones, The Superlux line of headphones. For the price(30-40) some of the best I have ever used, Not the most comfortable things with the stock cushions. Also I love Pizza. P.S if you read this thank you and thats all I wanted and Congrates on reaching a million.

Thank you everyone. I think I will stay on this forum for now on, I like it here.

Yep did a Memtest, it was one of the first things I did, because it was the first thing I thought to try. Thank you for the response. I guess I forgot to put that in the opening.

Good news Everyone! Its fixed!! I'm not exactly sure if it did fix it or not but I used CCleaners Drive wipe and its gone. The system no longer stutters. this includes installing everything, antivirus, all drivers, spybot, steam, everything. However I did notice that the ram was being seen as 800mhz for some reason in the bios, so I bumped that up to 1333mhz in the bios. Also I undervolted the CPU to see if that would do anything. Neither did anything. So I used the programs suggested and everything worked fine after that....

My very PC I put together was a Frankensteins monster kind of thing. I can't remember the parts very well because it was so long ago. Back in 2003 or so I was like 14 Specs Case: HP Pavillion 8750 CPU was an intel had 80 gigs of Hard drive space 256mb of RAM Found the cd rom drive in the garage of my parents house Found a Nvidia GPU in the same place It already had the motherboard in it. The awesome thing I played the very first COD on it for about 5 minutes and then it exploded. That freaked me out, because it popped and the computer never worked again...I was like "First computer ever!!" and then sad instantly. I was smarter on my second build, just because I was older and less dumb.

Personally I don't get it to much, but I have a few that I can remember are reoccuring events. Most of my experience is with design programs and 3DS max. So most of mine is the magical button that does every thing for me. They always think its so easy to build a 3d model or make an animation. "You just gotta push a button thats all......." So they expect the finished product within a couple days, then I have to start explaining and showing what it takes. Happens all the time. I did have a time whne someone asked if they can download a processor, sooooo...yeah. Then I said "no you can't download a CPU." The reply was interesting, "You miss heard me, I said Processor." Thats my short story for today.

I agree with you completely. Florida is not a good place to leave computer in sleep mode. But if there is a storm I end up turning the thing off before hand anyways and jump onto my laptop.

Awesome I have Ccleaner already and thank you for the link to hdtune. When I am in front of the computer again I will do eveything that is posted on here...well not eveything that would probably break more things than fix.

Alright I will check this out. Anything is helpful at this point.

So from looking at those the board kind of sucks for this CPU... sigh I do not remember those asterisks beign there before... it says we need a cooler that blows towards the motherboard in order to use it. Well that sucks because right now it has a Hyper 212 on it. So 125W is bad now..Awesome. I would look into requisitioning a new one. In the mean time if anybody else has any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated. DeViLzzz Man thank you for pointing that out to me. Good thing is I never liked the board anyways and I'm already on a fresh start so might as well change it.

Yeah I definitely know how that feels. I have two Seiki 55inch TV's that arrived broken... But its just strange to me that the one I used to replace the other, came out of a computer of similar spec and works fine. But I will test them both, just to make sure. Thanks for the quick response!

Do you think a problem like that can happen to two powersupplies? The second one i know works and the first one is brand new, but I've had a few explode not a month after receiving.

I'm sorry this is a lot ot read, but its everything that I have done so far. I have posted this on Overclock.net and I needed to make an account here and wanted to but never did until now. But this is what I posted there. "Alright this is a computer that I am currently working on for my brother who has been having this weird issue. His computer will freeze every .5 - 2 second intervals. The weird part though is its only when you start moving a window around or make something load, inlcudes loading up new tabs in chrome. The computer pauses then keeps going. The other kicker is its not random, its evenly spread when moving a window around. But as soon as you stop nothing happens. He first told me this was happening when he was working in Photoshop. He would go to make a line and every now and then it would lag behind and then catch up. This occurs in the same mannerr as above. I have no clure whats going on and exhausted all my brain knowledge. This is a list of what we I have done: Used driver sweeper and removed every instance of Nvidia drivers. Did this twice to see if reverting back to old drivers worked(it didn't) Performed scans with MalwareBytes, Avast, Spybot, and even BitDefender. Checked for spike processes that could be causing the hiccup. Uninstalled Audiio drivers (Realtek) and reinstalled them Bios is flashed to the newest Even unplugged the computer and plugged it back in...just because. Temps are perfect, GPU averages between 50 and 65 on games and 35 idle. CPU idles at 17 average and under load it hits 40(prime95) Did a chkdsk and memtest as well I don't know if its related but his computer for some reason would minimize all the time while playing games. usually happens at 1 o'clock in the morning. But its happened at other times aswell. But usually on the hour, give or take 5 minutes. We went through and changed the scheduled tasks to see if that fixed anything, but it never did. Computer SPECS: Windows 7 ASROCk FX990 Extreme3 mobo AMD FX 8320 (no overclock) ASUS GTX 770 (factory OC) (need to fix this, something I just noticed) 12 gigs ram Kingston 2x4 1600 and PNY 2x2 1333" Power supply is a EVGA NEX750 G SuperNova Here's a list of everything I have done after everything above, everything...also everything was done with 1 ram stick( I went through them all) and 1 Hard drive. Changed the powersupply Changed the GPU Uninstalled windows and reinstalled Replaced hard drive and fresh install (the only things installed, mobo drivers, Nvidia drivers, audio drivers, directX, Steam, All windows updates, excluding explorer.) I've tried all kinds of drivers for Nvidia, using Driveruninstaller to clean everything out first. All other drivers never caused problems before and the last thing that was installed was Batman Arkham City 2 and a half months ago. The people who responded on Overclock have been awesome so far, but they keep pointing back at the drivers. There was nothing on the computer except what was said above. Also this happens in games to, for example you spin around batman in arkham city and it skips every half second. But it does this in windows to when moving a window around or using photoshop. I need help I wish to start here on this forum.
