I bought this PC 3 months ago:
Intel i5-760 2.80 GHz
ATI Radeon 5500 HD
3 GB DDR2
So far I have been satisfied, games ran well, e.t.c. But recently, I noticed that a lot of my games (Angry Birds, Magicka, Black Ops, New Vegas) "stutter" for no apparent reason. It's like a game pauses for a millisecond and plays. And it happens every 5 seconds - so annoying! I scanned the PC for viruses, nothing present. I close all demanding programs - still stuttering. I also hear a lot of medium grinding noises from the PC. Can anyone please help me? I'm desperate!
EDIT: Made a scan on HD Tune Pro. Says that I have a damaged sector in Reallocated Sector Count. Could this be any kind of what's causing the problem?
