Im getting a stutter every few minutes when watching youtube, playing games or dvds.
Ive googled it and found other people who seem to have the same problem, but ive not found any fixes.
Ive done a nice fresh Win7 install and updated all my drivers.

I wasnt getting the stutter problem before i did the fresh install - i also did the fresh install twice because i thought it might be something to do with that.

I seem to remember reading a thread saying that uninstalling certain IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers worked - i may have even done this to fix the problem if i had it before - trouble is i cant remember.
 
I has this exact problem on my computer which is now solved.
The solution was to upgrade BIOS to the latest version. I have a GA-965P-DS3 (rev 3.3) motherboard running an Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2,13 GHz clocked to 2,66 GHz. I had BIOS version F10, the website states in version F11 "Support Intel E6420 & E6320 CPU", i.e. my CPU.
So after downloading and flashing BIOS to the latest version, F14, everything works like a charm! No more choppy, jerky, sluggish mouse movement. No more jerky, slow moving windows. No more jerky browsing. No more glitches in sound or anything else while performing any kind of task in Windows 7.
I can also add that before the update I got the system to run stable in Windows 7 x64 by removing the overclocking, i.e. have the CPU run in it's native speed of 2,13 GHz. After the BIOS upgrade everything works great in overclocked mode also!
 
Unfortunatally im running a laptop and the bios is as up to date as it gets (as far as i know). Its hard to find Clevo drivers.

Its not overclocked at all.
 
What A/V are you running? I've found Bitdefender/Bullguard and some others can cause latency issues with sound/video on some laptops.
 
Have you tried disabling it and seeing if the problem remains? It's usually the active scanning engine, not sure entirely how to do that on avast.
 
hmm im in the same place and have avast also, good its not only me with the problem, OP what are you laptop specs, not enough ram maybe?? :)
