Just built this PC:

Intel Core i5-2500K & Asus P8P67 Intel P67 Motherboard Bundle
Asus GeForce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Far Cry 2
XFX Pro 650W Core Edition Power Supply
Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case With Fan Cooler
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black)
OCZ Special OPS 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit


Everything went well and I got it up and running. Installed Windows 7 when prompted, and it started up perfectly.

However, I'm noticing that it's very "jerky" while just using it in general. It can be seen on things like simply opening a new tab in Chrome, it stutters and jerks as it slides across rather than just smoothly sliding. And just in general with everything you can definitely tell its being pretty juttery.

However it's running very quickly though, as things load up immediately and tasks that would be slow on my relatively budget laptop are completed at a fraction of the time.

I have installed all the latest drivers for everything, done all the updates, made sure no programs are eating up a lot of ram or anything like that.

Any idea why it might be doing this?

Really quite demoralizing when you've spent so much on it :/

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
 
Have installed all the latest drivers for the GPU from the Nvidia site.

Have installed all the latest drivers for the P8P67 from the Asus site.

Have run Windows Performance Index.

And there are no yellow "!" in Device Manager, with everything saying that it is working properly.

:(
 
Well I ran some games, such as Crysis 2 and Starcraft 2, at high settings for a while to test it all out and had no stability issues at all and they ran pretty smoothly.

And I'm using a basic USB mouse, which automatically installed drivers when I put it in the first time, and has run fine on other computers before.

My HDD is plugged into one of the SATA 6Gb/s slots. Is this the right one? Or should it be in the 3Gb/s one?

And yes I've made sure pretty much everything is closed down bar the essentials and the issue is still there, so don't think it's a program issue.
