Hi there,

A few weeks ago my computer started stuttering whilst listening to music, either through youtube, spotify, winamp etc. It also happened when I was playing FSX when loading textures, like when on the approach and it was loading the airport.
I sequentially replaced memory, motherboard, cpu and now finally the hard disk and it's still happening even on a fresh install on a SSD.
I would've just replaced the graphics card if I had've known. The question is... is it definitely the card or is it just the drivers? Because I wouldn't have thought that the graphics card would've been affected by playing music.

My next thought was DirectX because that has a bearing on both, doesn't it?

Anyway, over to you guys.
Any suggestions?

Power Supply?
What extra software have you installed that's the same on both the hd and now the SSD?
What soundcard?

Graphics card is unlikely to affect music

Is something in the background hammering your I/O? Procmon may be worth a try.

Nothing obvious in task manager, I take it?
