Ok, I'll try to be as brief as possible but this may get long. I want everyone to have all the info on this.
I'm experiencing problems playing games. My screen is not smooth and flowing, but very jerky, like a slight pause every few seconds. 3 weeks ago my crappy compaq died on me. I did not experience this problem on my compaq. I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to build my first computer, which I've wanted to do for awhile. While I wait for my parts to be delivered I went to best buy and picked up a sony vaio desktop p4 system 2.4 ghz. 14 day return policy why not, can't go without a computer right? I started experiencing this problem with this system, now keep in mind I still have my same video card and sound card, monitor.... just the desktop is different. Built my system took the sony back....Still have the same problem.
Here are some facts and things I've tried:
1. I still score 9500+ in mad onions 3d mark(screen is jerky in that too)
2. This problem is not a flickering problem the screen actually pauses briefly, I've adjusted the refresh rate and it still happens looks different and it happens at different speeds between 60 hz and 100 hz)
3. I've tried the 2 latest drivers from Nvidia
4. I've reinstalled my old Radeon 7200 (Jerky is still there)
5. I've uninstalled my soundblaster audigy
6. I can't find any drivers for my compaq FS740 crt monitor
7. Running directx diagnostics turns up nothing, altought the tests with the bouncing white box is jerky too.
Thats all I can think of right now. I feel like I've narrowed it down to the monitor, but I would like some input before I go out and buy a new one, better yet I'd like to be able to fix this.
Specs are below
