Some Computer Help

I built a pc for my friend a couple of weeks ago and when I went home when we were done that day I thught everything was fine. But I talked to him yesterday and he's having some problems with it. So I went over to see if I could help fix it and came up empty handed.

Everything seems to be skipping and jumping around. Movie peviews off the inernet skip, dvd's skip, music cd' skip, video games skip, the load-up music for XP stutters, the mouse is jumpy, everything seems to stutter and skip. I've done everything I could think of with no luck. Drivers are all up to date. Does anyone have any idea's?

His system,

AMD Barton 2500
Abit NF7-S
Kingston HyperX 3500, 512Megs
GeForce FX 5600

Thanks.
 
hi,
two things come to mind.
1. have you checked the event viewer and do you see any logged errors?
2. do you have dma enabled on the ide devices?

also,
what video drivers are you using?
good luck
 
What's his memory usage like?
Did you check the taskmgr?
How much "crap" does he load at startup?
Does it happen in safe mode?
Did you defrags his drive(s)?
Did you uninstall vid drivers before installing new ones?
Did you test his RAM?
