    Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if there is a fix for it. Although minor, it can be quite annoying. Randomly, playing games or not, the computer will lag severely and the sound will become robotic for 1-3 seconds before returning back to normal. Not something you want to happen with 10 seconds to go in whatever game you're playing, staring at your enemy.

    It's called system latency. Can be caused by a number of things. HDDs and less-than-optimal firmware, crapular Wifi/LAN drivers, sluggish MP code of the game, unfriendly resource sharing with some hardware, etc.

    I'd start with trying ThrottleStop and see if you are having momentary slowdowns.
