stuttering,freezing and artifacts oh my!

[blazewit]

hey everyone... my comp's been kinda giving me some troubles lately. first off im experiencing periodic stuttering with my intel g2 raid 0 array, sometimes programs seem to hang or take longer than usual to load. I have superfetch, indexing, prefetch and hibernate off large cache and write cache enabled, and a static page file of 3072mb. my benchmark results look fine but in real world use idk...also firefox is freezing regularly and my windows live messenger that starts on boot sometimes causes a system wide lock up upon closing the main window. last but not least, I have been noticing ghosting (trails during movement) while playing mass effect 2. I thought it might be that the card was getting too hot so I tried to manually raise fan speed in ccc to cool it down but nothing happens when I change the speed in overdrive, I can set it, but when I press apply or ok nothing...I did try updating to ccc10.2 to no avail. It does change using ati tool just not with ccc and I have yet to try playing me2 with the fan speed increased to see if it helps the ghosting...if anyone has any info on what they think I should do or can offer insite how they fixed one of these issues themselves I would be greatly appreciative... Thanks Guys

Live messenger .... live messenger had an update you said to install it. instead of actually looking at what it wanted to do you just went next next next until it was done. Now you have about a dozen other apps dicking around in your computer behind your back.
go to control panel and uninstall microsoft essentials. When it gets to the screen with all the check boxes uncheck everything except messenger and click next. Now it will unistall all those other apps that were dicking around with your computer. Also try running a chkdsk /r. Probably got a filesystem that needs some attention as well.
