Hi and thanks -
I have had my computer since 2009, and it works like a dream. Recently, however, after an automatic update, my computer has spontaneously began to stutter - both audio and video - exactly like in this video. Computer stuttering while watching videos - YouTube
Furthermore, I also get some keyboard and mouse stutters.
So "when I type this sentence" . . . might appear as
"wheeeeeeeen I tpe this sennnntce" (Notice both the added and the missing characters)
This started a few days ago, and I have been scouring the messge bords for a solution. There have been messages left on THIS board with the same problem, but none of the suggested fixes (I have tried them all) have helped. So far, I have tried all sorts of things, including but not limited to
Reinstalling video drivers
Reinstalling audio drivers
Openeing the computer and blowing out dust - cooling things down
Monitoring the CPU load (the CPU does NOT spike when the stutter happens)
Running a system restore to a point before the event happened
Running Glary, Norton and CCleaner Registry repairs
Soured the computer for viruses and malware using my Nortaon AV and Malwarebytes (both of which are resident and should be operating prophylactically anyway.)
Changing the power profile to "high performance"
Some other things I can't remember right now
I believe (but am not certain, of course) that it must be a software issue, because the exact same hardware has been doing a fine job fornearly 4 years.
My system is a W7, i7 920@2.67Ghz. ATI Radeon 4800 series graphics card. One thing that I have noticed is that in Device manager, the processor is listed eight times. I don't think that's right, but want to check with greater minds before removing any of the entries. (There are no "exclamation points" or anything like that.)
Thank you for your help!
