Recently i was playing skryim fully modded out with ENB and some other mods on my GTX 580, after a while the game would start stuttering with a loud buzzing noise through my headphones (BZZT, literally) every time it stuttered, so i thought my graphic card was giving out, so i bought a GTX 780 and lo and behold ,the same problem persists...could this be a processor/ram problem? or could it just be a PSU that cant meet the graphic cards demands... Or could it somehow be my Creative X-fi HD titanium. Please respond soon...i cant play anything without fear of massive stuttering... PS: this is happening with metro/crysis 3/Gmod/etc And my 3770k is overclocked to 4.3ghz without any extra voltage or cooling.
We can't know for sure. But if you were getting graphical artifacts, wouldn't the first suspect be the graphics card? It follows that with any crackling that you hear in audio, the sound card could be the culprit. I had an X-Fi Titanium that was dying a few months back. It would give sound for a minute or two then cut out completely. Was testing in BF3 and MP was stuttery, always hanging below 60FPS with stutter even though my rig could maintain a solid 60FPS easily. Removed the sound card and got my solid 60FPS back. So yes it could happen. Needless to say, we need to troubleshoot, step-by-step.
Nope, not the sound card, resetting to standard clock, and if that doesnt work ill use one stick of ram to see if its one of the ram sticks (ill switch around if the problem continues)
