My computer "skips, ticks, hiccups, stutters" or however you'd like to call it... every second.
The timing is exactly consistent. I don't know if it's exactly one second, but it's the same every time. It's as if it's synced to a timer.
Example: If I move my mouse across the screen in a smooth fashion, you can see it momentarily cease movement every second. Without looking for this specifically, it's not easy to notice.
Example 2: This is more noticeable. While playing _any_ game, you can notice that the frame rate flat out STOPS for a split second, every second. Even if I get 100+ FPS in a game, it still happens. This makes it very hard to aim and move around in many games.
I've closed all the processes that I think might have caused it, but the problem persists... In a few minutes, I'll be posting a screenshot of my task manager, showing all my running processes. Hopefully this will help someone diagnose this problem.
I'm drawing a blank... help
Really don't want to reformat....
EDIT: here is a screenshot of my task manager.
