PC stuttering/stalling?

So far:

Benchmark


From the looks of it, goes slower when it uses more HDD.

Disk Monitor


No idea what it means, especially the blue lines.

Error Scan


Looks fine.

GPU-Z Video Card


GPU-Z Sensor



So, HDD is the problem?

Well, I'm not seeing anything overly bad on the HDD, but then again I haven't seen a screenshot of S.M.A.R.T. data either. Try taking one of the "Health" tab. If you see anything that says it has issues you that would be a sure sign.

Here's a picture of mine (in pretty much perfect health) for comparison:



You could also try running SeaTools short test and see if it comes up with anything or if it says SMART data has tripped. My old SeaGate drive continually passed short and long test even though it alerted me SMART was tripped, it died shortly. So I trust SMART over their SeaTools... lol.

GPU seems fine, so I'm not sure what else would cause the issues your describing...
 
It happen again and record it.

From what it looks like, my PC is having a hard time equalizing with my sound, so that is why it stutters/stalls.

Btw, I use a Integrated Sound card.

I'll post the video.

3:02am


one minute later...


It makes the same spike every minute or 2.
During that moment, my desktop gets frozen and a few seconds later, its working again.

The beginning is fine but after that, broken... :mad:

If you listen carefully, you can hear the "ZZZzzzzz...." as well as sound delays especially at 2:40.
At 2:49 is when the game stalled.

That's pretty unusual, I have to admit...
Just for reference this happens in other games too right?

I guess you could update your audio drivers as well, though I'm not sure they'd cause anything quite like this. Reminds me of something my old ATI Radeon drivers did, so I still have my bet on either HDD or Graphics Card.

I'm not too sure how to debug this further since the anaylsis programs you're running don't seem to show anything significant, but maybe some one else has more insight on it. :(

You could try bleeping computer or similar forums and see what they have to say.
 
The problem could be because of Nvidia's downgrading.

I notice the newer video cards are more updated while mine is stuck at 260.99.

Its possible because of Nvidia, its causing my gaming to go bonkers.
 
What is your keyboard? Odd I know, but I had a very similar thing happen and it turned out to be the G110 keyboard doing it.
