    Hello all, here is my issue.

    When playing all games (currently Star Wars: The Old Republic) during FMV'S and all gameplay, everything starts to skip/lags like something may be damaged. Also, it skips/lags when doing everyday tasking like video watching or just browsing the net.

    I've done both a reformat, defrag, and download the latest drivers (if I'm missing any please let me know all as well, please!).

    Thanks to all who view and respond!

    What hard drive do you have in your machine and does it have updated firmware?

    I have the internal Seagate MX 500GB and not sure how to get the updated firmware. :/

    Sounds like system latency. Start disabling hardware in Device Manager until it goes away, and then update that driver.

    Sorry, I'm kind of new to all of this... What would you disable? :(
