Computer problem I just can't figure out.... (SOLVED!)
Ginsu Victim:
And by "last computer" I mean that I took it out, put in the new one, and the problems were there from the start.
drventure:
Out in left field, but there's a couple things I'd check.
1) are there any background processes running that you aren't familiar with. If you've got a backup process, or and indexing service firing up after a specific amount of time, those things could definitely slow the pc down. And +you+ may not have even installed them, but something you did install set them up behind your back. Check the Scheduled processes in Control panel too.
2) is the system bios all standard settings. Sometimes just resetting the bios to defaults and retweaking it could fix a problem like that.
Ginsu Victim:
1) Like I said in my first post, I tried fresh installs of Win XP and Vista 64 on a drive I'd just wiped clean. I went straight into trying games before installing anything else (drivers aside). Also, I've tried AMD Fusion, which closes as many background processes as possible, and I still had the problem.
2) I've tried resetting it. Nadda.

Firmware on the video card maybe? Is it onboard audio?

I've never seen a firmware update in my searches. (Nor have I read anyone say they've done one on this card...)
Yes, I am running onboard audio. I'll try a sound card. Thanks for pointing that out.
