PC studder for sound, games, and Video

[Bomber]

I have 3 issues

My first custom gaming PC:

Thermaltake Armor+MX
GIGABYTE GA-EP45C-UD3R
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz
GeForce GTX 260
G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 1066
Seagate 500GB
Rosewill 950W
G15 board/G5 mouse
Samsung 2433 x 2, 24" lcd
XP Pro 32 bit FTW (don't like vista)

All my drivers are up to date. I dont think its a software issue.

Problems:

-blue crash screen only once in awhile. This happens really fast. I get a blue screen then my pc reboots while all the power is on. This is not a power supply issue cause I hve a Geek Squad UPS....I have friends looking into this issue also. Any advice would help.

-while watching a video or playing games, pc jumps back to the windows desktop. Very annoying. I even locked my windows key with my G15 keyboard and this still happens. My resolution is at 1900x1600 and my vid card and support this no prob.

-"When playing any movie files or any sound files, I hear
what can be best described as intermittant studders in the
sound playback. This studder is basically a short, half-
second continuation of whatever tone was being played at
the time of the studder. When watching a movie file,
spoken words end up coming through as a sort of short
buzzing noise, after which, audio continues to play until
the next studder.

I've investigated the problem to the best of my ability,
but have reached an impasse. All my drivers appear to be
up-to-date, I've tweaked the hardware acceleration and am
basically lost now."-Matt Warren described this best.

Yeah what he said. This is exactly what happens to me while playing D2 along with other games or videos. He found a solution by moving his sound card to a lower location on his Mobo. I can not do this because of my onboard sound card.

Other then that my pc works great!!! but this is really annoying me.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bomber.

Solution: The blue screen your getting may be called "Blue screen of death?" Either you've gotten a virus or your computer graphics arent fit. I recommend you reboot your computer.


-while watching a video or playing games, pc jumps back to the windows desktop. Very annoying. I even locked my windows key with my G15 keyboard and this still happens. My resolution is at 1900x1600 and my vid card and support this no prob.

Solution: Are there any pop-ups happening or anything else running in the background? Maybe those are causing your game or watching a video to minimize and go straight to the desktop.


-"When playing any movie files or any sound files, I hear
what can be best described as intermittant studders in the
sound playback. This studder is basically a short, half-
second continuation of whatever tone was being played at

spoken words end up coming through as a sort of short
buzzing noise, after which, audio continues to play until
the next studder.

Solution: When you installed your sound device's did you have any problems? Maybe reinstalling your sound should probably help.


Note: Sorry if these dont help. I've never really experienced what your having except for the blue screen. I rebooted my comp for that.


Recommended: I recommend you reboot your computer. Best thing to do if your out of options.


Hope this helps,
