If it's an ATI card I'd be leaning towards hardware overheating bordering on
triggering a VPU Recovery Error.
When I had stutters recovery errors usually followed. This playing Stalker 1 & 2,
Crysis, R6LV2, and others where if I just stopped moving the stutter would not crash
but ultimately it came down to heat coupled with heat damaged hardware in my case.

Hey guys, so if you're playing games on your PC and it starts stuttering
pretty bad (for up to 30 seconds at a time-enough to drop you from games in
the Starcraft2 beta) and repeatedly-what would you think to look at first?
Fwiw, I turned off my music in SC2 and that seemed to make it better, but
then it just crashed out on me a couple times.
Now that might just be the beta, but I was having the stuttering issues in
Torchlight too (which is a bad idea when you're underpowered and playing
dangerously deep) but it never crashed.hmm, maybe I should try turning the
music off in that and seeing if that helps.
If turning the music off does solve my problems, does that mean I have a
sound card driver issue?! It's on old PC (P4 3.4Ghz 2GB RAM) but it has a
newish (ATI Radeon 4830) video card.
