    Frame-skipping driving me INSANE!

    I can't recall of any lightning incidents. Plus, it kind of creeped up on me I feel (progressively gotten worse), so I can't pinpoint an exact time and place. I have tried it on and off, both in the game settings and in catalyst control center. My monitor is a 60hz refresh rate and thats...

    New PSU fixes some problems but ushers in new ones. Very confused.

    Micro-Stutters - What is causing this?

    Tried this. Unfortunately did not work :( Thanks for the suggestion though, any other ideas? I have a hard time believing its a virus thing, because the problem has continued through two reformats and one hard drive switch. This leads me to believe that it HAS to be hardware related, no...

    Micro-Stutters - What is causing this?

    Micro-Stutters - What is causing this?

    Hmmmm, I'm not very familiar with flashing anything, but I'm willing to try it at this point. Here is the exact link to my card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161372 Could you perhaps link an easy to understand tutorial on how to do what you are suggesting?
