Alright start off here are my specs
Asus P5E x38 chipset
Intel dual core 3.16ghz
Corsair Dominators
280gtx
PSU
HDD's x2
Now the problem.
Horrible graphics stutter's, WoW seems to be the worst, used to only be just 1 game now its all, Left 4 dead, team fortress are some examples.
When running forward an things need to load will cause a stutter like my graphic's skipping forward or animation will stop come back then stop again an come back happens when theirs a lot of players, npc, etc are trying to load
Animation stops or whatever last 0.3 secs each one its really noticeable
Also seems to be getting worse.
Things i have done:
Downclock my ram to 800mhz
Set ram voltages 1.96-2.00v on the count of this board overvolts by .20 which kinda pissed me off.
Set everything in bios to manual fsb 333mhz and dram 5-5-5-15 2T everything else default
North bridge voltages tried 1.25v to 1.41v
Even tried Overclocking = i get no post, restart my computer a msg saying resetting bios to default
Sent back my video card 3 times, first time bad fan, 2nd time Didnt work at all, 3rd Pixel Artifacts.
Sent back mobo but it was only repaired, which i think they didn't do anything to it, also discovered when i was taking my cpu off that some of the pins were messed up before i sent it back.
another thing about my board when i got it back the pins to connect my pwr switch etc were bent really bad, good job asus....
Ran memtest 86+ 27 pass no errors, currently running it again
Prime 95 6+ hours on torture test no errors
installed xp then vista no change
tested with 2 sticks of ram to 4
ran chk disk
Things i haven't done
done pretty much everything i can think of.
I personally think its my mobo giving me these troubles, i doubt its my vid card.
Is it Possible that something is bottle necking my card??
Everything loads pretty fast on my system but doesn't play smooth
Please help me figure out what is wrong here...
