My computer when I'm running winamp for music, or shutting off (shut down sound) my computer will have a 2 second "spazz"..Not sure how to explain it, things freeze up real fast then go back to normal, sound (music or whatever sound is on ex. shutdown tune) will sort-of skips, only briefly for a 2-3 second period. Also have been getting booted out of loading and mid-game Battlefield but I dont that has anything to do with this...That issue has been going on for a bit.

Recently installed a new Newcastle 3500+ 64 procc into my machine, that is only thing I can think of that I've done since it's been doing this...No other clues or suggestions, I updated windows, updated graphics drivers (full clean uninstall/sweep/reinstall), updated motherboard drivers, and even did a full spy/adaware/virus scan still no luck. Well hope someone here can help me out.

AMD 3500+ 64 NewCastle Proccessor
Chaintech VNF4 Ultra
6800 GT 256mb Nvidia Geforce
2x Single channel 1GB OCZ memory
TDK DVDRW880N CD-ROM drive

Any suggestions/help is appreciated.
 
Not sure what you mean by freak out, kind of skips, doesnt repeat but its the best way to explain it. It plays the music but it funks out. No word to describe it. :|
It does sieze up a little, I can't move mouse much and screen almost flickers.
 
Updated sound drivers, only tested it for 30 minutes now, looks like things are cleared, I'll come back if not. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
 
Well music stopped skipping...but now everything is crashing, I'm getting system errors and booted from games and firefox. Client locked up and auto rebooted about 5 minutes ago..not sure whats going on.
Any suggestions on what program can stress test and tell me with whats wrong with my hardware? Maybe my graphics card or procc? I tested memory, each stick for 6 hours a piece a couple months ago so I know thats good.
 
Would like to post for everyone who helped me and anyone who might have this future problem. I had installed my new procc. wrong, go me. I either: A. Used too much thermal paste, which I dont think was the case. Or 2. Placed my Thermaltake heat sink on wrong. I was using computer when I look over and see my CPU is at 104c, I turned off computer and immeditily found the problem. Guess thats the first place I should of looked.
But reguardless thanks to everyone, yet agian I like the work done here and help.
