I wasn't quite sure where to post this since I'm actually not sure what's going on or what the problem is. Here's the deal:
Sometimes, let's say...every 2-3 weeks, when I start my PC, it is like the entire thing is stuttering. There is one second of fine, one second of pause, one second of fine, etc., like clockwork. Everything seems to run fine, I don't get any errors, just the stuttering. I can restart and everything is fine again. I can look in the Task Manager, and the processor says about 20% load. None of the processes show any signs of using the CPU except the system-IDLE one at 99 (as it should be for idling, I presume). Nothing is hogging memory. I have ran orthos and memtest for over 10 hours with no errors on my OC (idle temp is around 27C, load under orthos is about 52C). This is on a fresh install of Windows (that I just did last night), but the issue also happened before on my old install.
And that's it. I'm absolutely stumped as to what the deal is. The problem occurs so infrequently and inconsistantly that I am unable to reproduce it to effectively troubleshoot it...I just have to wait until it happens again, which like I said is about every 2-3 weeks. If anyone has any input as to what is going on or what I can do, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if this is the wrong place to post this feel free to move it! Thanks!
