Gunder posted:I'm reluctant to start throwing money at the problem until I have an idea of what might be causing the problem. Is there a way I can test the PSU in order to rule it out as a problem? With a PSU that's degraded it's not easy to be 100% sure without just trying another one. Sometimes in the BIOS you can see voltages that are definitely incorrect or by using a multimeter and testing each wire. But that's really tedious and also not a 100% thing as PSU readings can fluctuate under different loads. Two other things to try: -Try using only one stick of RAM temporarily and see if anything changes. -Use onboard video temporarily (with another monitor I guess).

Gunder posted:Upon rebooting, Windows starts to stutter again, as before it did before. So I shutdown and selected one of the slower JEDEC settings instead, but the problem remains. I don't understand what wrong I did to resurrect the issue, but it's definitely back. Any additional help would be greatly appreciated. If you've tried using one stick of RAM and using onboard video and the issue is still happening I'd probably be returning parts and/or trying a new PSU at that point. If you wanted to do more troubleshooting you could take the motherboard out of the case and place it on a nonconductive surface (using a paperclip/key to bridge the powerpins on the motherboard to turn it on). But I doubt that's the issue as that's more useful for a computer not POSTing. I doubt the case is the issue. I suppose you could try booting from a Linux DVD/flash drive and see if that behaved any differently but I also doubt the OS or HD are the issue either.

If the issue is truly gone that means either the video card has an issue or the PSU is being taxed less by using onboard video.

Gunder posted:Just installed the new PSU to no avail. The stuttering is still present. I guess RMA'ing the motherboard is the next step? Yea, switching motherboards would be the next step. If you wanted to do more troubleshooting you could try different RAM (Memtest isn't a 100% guarantee that your RAM is okay).

You've had bad luck. When you did use onboard video were you getting that stuttering?

Are you currently on the second motherboard and second PSU still? Are you still using that sound card? I'd try different RAM. I think that's one of the parts you haven't switched out yet.
