Not sure where this post should go, but this forum seemed to be the best fit. Mod please move if there is a better forum.
My problem... I have put together a new pc just a week ago. Specs are at bottem of post. I noticed that there seems to be a short studder about once a minute. Studder lasts around half a second. I notice it when playing video games (video studder) and hear a studder in sound as it happens with the video. I dont even need to be playing games. I`m listening to an internet radio station as I type this and can hear the sound studder now. I`m thinking that I didnt hear this at first before I updated componate software, but I cant be sure. May be more of a cutting out of video and sound rather than a studder. Even happens before the pc has a chance to get hot. I have 2 ccfl lights and an led working in the case and dont see any flickering by them when I hear this sound studder.
Any ideas of whats going on?

Try rolling back your audio driver, or removing your Audigy card and using the onboard sound just to check for the problem. Post back here with your results.
 
Rolling back the driver didnt help. so I took out the sound card. And using the motherboards sound system. RealTek AC 97 Audio. Still seeing and hearing the studder.
A friend told me it could be an IRQ conflict and said to move my video card to another pci-e slot. Just noticed there was an update availble for my onboard sound. Going to reboot to see if it helped. Nope, still does it.
 
Disconnect all your drives--everything but your system hard drive, leave one RAM module in the first slot, and pull your Audigy card. Report back. lol
 
Watch to see if any processes occassionally take 100% CPU? What OS?

And no need to copy out exactly what's in your sig...
