Problem with 8800 or something else...

[magezzz]

A weird glitch occurred on all of these dates.
2 months ago playing FEAR, 9 days ago playing FEAR, 8 days ago watching vid on youtube, and today playing age of empires 3.

The glitch is that the mouse, dragging windows, sound, etc. stutter every second for a tiny instant every single second, 3 of the times i restarted within a few minutes and problem was fixed after restart, one of the times it BSOD'd and quickly restarted without letting me actualy see the BSOD.

I'm not sure what to do with this pc from **** anymore...do I RMA everything? I dont know what to do anymore...help please...

Notes:
-I have installed a fresh xp, problem still occured again today, after a week of no problems since installing the fresh xp.
-CPU is at 1.3V at 100% load, 1.344V at desktop.
-GPU is not overclocked during these problems.
-Drivers are upto date for MOBO and GPU.

Just because it hasnt happened whenever ur browsing the internet doesnt mean it wont.

but yeah, i believe youtube would access the hard drive in some way.

Dismantle your system, then try with only the minimum components. ie 1 stick ram, 1 HDD, no DVD/CDROM. Check if it still stutters, if not it might be a DVD cable or HD cable thats not connected securely or is damaged. Sounds like something is disconnecting/reconnecting causing pausing/crashing. Also try resetting the BIOS to defaults, and test without the OC.
