Hey guys,
Nice to see the list is still running - I've been away for a *long* time
:( I applied for voluntary separation plan at my work yesterday though, so
maybe I'll get back into this a little (going back to running my business full
time instead of 2 careers)...
Anyway, I'm having an odd problem that I'm hoping someone may have some
experience with. I upgraded my Win XP PC w/o reinstalling the OS (went from
nForce 2 Ultra to nForce 4 Ultra board) - I don't really have a choice.
Everything works fine, except for this nagging issue. Games play fine and
frame rate is high, but I get stutters in games (pause for a split second then
jerk forward). Oddly enough, the same thing happens when playing DVDs in
PowerDVD and videos in Windows Media Player! :( Another odd issue is that my
desktop icons get refreshed occasionally and are slow to redraw... I have the
latest mobo drivers, video card drivers, DirectX (reports no problems), etc.
Here's my config:
DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D
Athlon 64 Venice 3500+
EVGA 7800 GT
2 GB Geil PC3200 2-3-2-5
was using onboard sound - about to try my old Audigy
2 older IDE drives, 1 SATA, 2 IDE optical drives
BTW, I did use DriverCleaner Pro to clean the cabs, clean for NVIDIA
motherboard / video, and clean Creative... I've tried different versions of
the video drivers as well. TTYL,
