My Gateway at home at the same issue. It was an IRQ sharing issue. It's been a long time but I think it was my NIC that was sharing an IRQ with my soundcard.

I've been having a problem with my computer. A Del 8200...P4 1.8Ghz, 512MB of RAM. It constantly..stutters. What I mean is...if you are moving the mouse cursor really quickly, you will notice it pausing every few seconds....all the time. If I am playing .mp3 files..they would skip or stutter. If I am playing games..the graphics freeze every other second or so..for a veeeery short but noticeable space of time. Noticeable because the motion of say a ship landing, is not smooth. I don't seem to have a problem playing video however. I've clean booted, turning off all non-microsoft services. I've even gone through and turned off some microsoft services. I've checked for spyware using AdAware Professional. I have Defragged and run Scandisk on the hard drive. I can't find anything wrong! My CPU usage is at a constant 10% with System taking up 6% and Explorer taking up ~3%. I just can't figure out what the hell is happening!! And I can't pinpoint exactly when all this started happening *sigh*. I've even removed McAfee from the system thinking that might be it. Any suggestions? -Gel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
