I recently sold my Amd 1.4 so I could buy an
XP 1600 thinking that it might be faster.
I recently noticed while playing an MP3 that
every minute it hiccups. This also happens with
AVI, MPG, WAV, Soundforge, and Diablo2. I cant really tell if its happening in Photoshop.
These files are not corrupt and be accessed and
played fine from other PCs on the network.
I have played regular music CDs in my cdrom and
they play fine. I put MP3 cd in my cdrom and
it again hiccups. Ive burnt these MP3s onto a
cd as music (not MP3) and no problems.
Im using an ASUS a7a266 mb with the latest BIOS
and still the same problem. Ive run DXDIAG
(DX 7.0 is what im using) and tested the sound and music. Sure enough it hiccuped, but DXDIAG
doesnt notice it and ends the tests saying
everything completed successfully.
I used Norton Ghost to bring my PC back to a
fresh install and still the same prob. This must
mean that the problem is hardware, right?

Please tell where to go from here.
