Hello everyone, Ice here. I'm new to the forums, but I've had an issue with Win8 for a while now. Hopefully someone can help me out, because it's slowly driving me nuts.
Occasionally, my computer just stutters (freezes for about half a second) several times in a row, ranging from about 6 to 10 times in a row. Literally everything will stop and freeze during that moment; the screen, sound, mouse, my friends even report that my mic input stutters. This happens about once every hour, usually a bit less than that.
It doesn't matter what I'm doing with the computer when this happens; Playing games, watching a video on YT or just on the desktop, doing nothing.
I've had this issue before, when I just installed Win8, but somehow that had fixed itself for a while. Now, a few weeks back, the issue has come up again and I haven't been able to find out why it happens.
I've done a few recent changes a few weeks back too. I replaced my NVidia GeForce 470 with the NVidia Geforce 660 Ti. I had also connected my sis' laptop's HDD around there as well, when her laptop broke down.
I've tried to do a number of things and looked up on forums for a solution. I've done a SFC scan and I've updated my NVidia drivers multiple times.
My specs:
OS: Win8 Enterprise 64 bit
VCard: NVidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti
RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3
CPU: Intel i5 760 @ 2.80GHz
HDD: Samsung HD 103SJ ATA
Motherboard: P55-GD65 (MS-7583) by Micro-Star International
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. If you need specific information I might have forgotten, I'll try to post those as soon as possible.
