I picked up an ASUS about a month ago all has been well until about 3 weeks ago i get alot of random studder my temps showing at right around 58* full load any ideas as to what it could be? I game at 1360x768. Any help would be awesome!
 
What are the rest of your specs and are those CPU or GPU temps?
 
Intel 9450, 4gig corsair ram, win xp pro, western digital raptor, corsair 520w PSU, everything is at stock clocks, the 58 was referring to the gpu temp
 
Any changes in the system? Software installs, updates, driver updates?
 
I got stutters with the 8.54's (Catalyst 8.10 betas) while the official Catalyst 8.9's work fine.
 
There has been no changes what so ever. all my temps look good throughout the machine i have no clue but it is very annoying as i upgraded to this from an 8800gt that was just perfect for me an what i was doing but wanted to give ati one last shot as in the past i felt there product wasn't up to par
 
Monitoring software (speedfan) can cause your computer to stutter when accessing certain functions. Have you tried gaming with everything (including extra services) shut down?
 
Sounds like a driver problem to me. I would uninstall the driver, run driver cleaner and the reinstall them ... If all else fails I would try a reformat and fresh install of drivers. I know its a royal PITA but it could solve the issue. If not, you might want to start looking at possible hardware issues.
