Okay, my PC stutters too much and it's driving me crazy. Here is more detailed information:
Stuttering: A temporary lag, freeze for a couple of milliseconds, the highest was 3 seconds. At this state, the audio goes "bzzzz", the mouse does not move, and I can't do anything. After that, my performance manager records an unusual CPU usage spike, depending on the stutter duration; usually around 60-80 percent.
Frequency: around 2-4 times per minute
Spec: MSI 890GXM-G65, Athlon II X4 635, Corsair H60, AMD HD6850, 2x2GB DDR3 1600, Intel SSD 330 120GB, Seagate LP 2TB HDD, 400-Watt Corsair 80plus, TPLINK USB wifi adapter, Windows 7 64bit (latest update)
Experiments I've tried so far that haven't worked:
- Closed all visible programs
- Made sure there was no virus on my PC
- Ran HD Bench, no bad sectors found, both were in healthy condition, tried connecting only SSD/HDD
- Ran memory diag, found no problems, tried swapping position
- Ran speedfan, all hardware was operating in normal temperature ranges
- Searched for any articles regarding this, so many solutions but none seem to work
- Updated my drivers.
Random lead: Symptoms are not as bad at around 5 hours after powering up my PC, they get worse when my PC runs for a minimum of one day nonstop. At the time of writing this, my PC has been running for 4 days nonstop.
Athlon may overheat.. dont force it 4 days straight. And do some prime95 – FiKo – 2012-08-12T16:17:08.600
I don't understand, the temperature was always stable and below 30, I can't consider that an overheat – AzDesign – 2012-08-12T16:31:05.390
There is no problem of using a computer in extended hours, what matter is the cooling system, and PSU. I use the computer in normal basis, whether it is idle or high load, the stuttering problem remain the same. And I already stated that even if I turned off my machine, let it cooled down, turn it on again, after 2-3 hours, the stutter comes back, even at 24 degree celcius – AzDesign – 2012-08-12T16:39:45.790
Possible duplicate of (or at least quite similar to) this question.

So I take it you've read the answer to that question and also ruled out your anti-virus software, Windows indexing your files, other services, and Nero etc.?

@aaamos yeah, did those, none works though. Turned off all of my installed program services, only windows services running, still didnt't work. I know its hard for other people to diagnose a problem in someone else PC, 'cos I had that experience. I'll try format my PC, and install program by program after I make sure that program doesn't cause the stutter. I'll let you know when I'm done. – AzDesign – 2012-08-13T19:47:58.710
