Whenever I watch a video or play a game it will studder and make a zzzzzzz noise in my headphones every few minutes.I don't think the studdering is any of my parts because it even does it in minecraft.Also when browsing the internet I noticed it would do it to but it just freezes for a couple seconds.
Specs:
Windows 8.1 64 Bit
FX 4170
8GB Ram
Windforce OC GTX 770 4GB
Western Digital 500GB
Is the stutter audio only, video only or the whole system?
the whole thing
Is the system overclocked at all? What wattage PSU are you using? Is that WD drive a laptop drive or a 3.5inch? Is it a wd blue black green or red? 2 sticks of ram or one? What Mobo are you using?
Yes my gpu is overclocked
my psu is a corsair cx 750 80 plus bronze
WD is black and 3.5 inchs
2 sticks of ram
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3+ V X16 4D3 M32 GL R MATX Motherboard
OK. Start by removing all and any overclocks you have. Download and run memtest, and if the ram checks out, download and run furmark and test the gpu (I doubt its either of these but its best to check everything.) Next test your HDD. HD Tune is free and should do the job.
Let me know how that goes and we will go from there (You havent done anything silly like disable your pagefile have you?)
how do I undo the oc to my gpu cause I have never oc anything I bought it that way
Oh then dont worry about that - I was talking about a manual overclock
ok I tested the gpu and hard drive and all ok I scored 4200 points on furmark the only thing is I can't figure out why I can't boot from the usb for memtest
Hmm. Well your cpu WILL bottleneck your gpu but only in cpu intensive games and it seems that its not the problem we have here.
Check that all your cables are correctly seated and update everything you can such as windows, gpu drivers and mobo BIOS, clear your CMOS after updating and retest everything.
The only other thing I can think of that is worth checking is if you have your onboard sound set to resample to 192khz instead of 44.1khz this can generate cpu overhead and I would try that if updating doesnt work. I had this happen to a system of mine but it only caused audio stutter.
Oh and of course the obligatory full system virus scan
how do I update BIOS
How do I clear/update CMOS

bios download
forget the cmos for now
whack the bios file on a usb and reboot with the usb plugged in. enter your bios and look for the update bios option. Look up a tutorial on youtube for this if you are unsure of how to do it
