Chop chop every few minutes or so, in-game or not

Download Process Explorer, open it, deflate everything except system -> interrupts. Then double click it and select performance graph.

Watch your videos or whatever, and see if it spikes along with your problems.

Yeah I'm not sure why Microsoft has yet to implement selective graphs like that into the built-in performance monitor.

So far no spikes glo, I did get the choppiness already in the video at one point, the graphs didn't show anything. About .5-1% CPU usage right now. Going to continue watching and if I get no spikes then it is certainly nothing to do with the CPU.

Okay so it's not a system interrupt but something is spiking, I noticed. A little red spike shows up from time to time, sometimes there's a couple chops in the game when this happens - sometimes not.

Make sure the firmware on your ssd is updated i know in the past that particular one had issues with freezing before it was resolved in a firmware update

Yup it's 0309. And it would not have acted in this way, it would have had BSODs every hour after the 5,184 of used hours mark.

Let me know what you folks think.

Last I checked 64 bit WoW is not currently available, also, I would only run WoW off my SSD.

While I don't think it's part of your problem, the 64-bit client was available the day after the latest patch. It's available here.

Thanks, I'll probably go ahead and install it anyways. Might as well delete WoW off my drive, then see if the problem persists, then install the 64 bit client. We'll see what happens. ^^

So since I got the 64 bit client of WoW, things have improved, to a much more pleasant point. At least half of my time or more on youtube now has no occasional chops and WoW was definitely doing better, with choppiness happening less, as well - however I've not been playing WoW much over the past few days but youtube is still important. :P Hopefully things continue to improve! ^_^

Okay interesting thing I've noticed....

I should not have made that last post without knocking on wood.

However here's the thing, it's not doing a chop chop anymore (i.e. two chops in quick succession within about 1-2 seconds)... it's now only doing one chop. O_o (i.e. 1 chop and then all good)..

Still, bloody annoying!

[DeltrusDisc]

Never mind! We are back to double chopping.

Quick update...

I recently flashed my motherboard's (Asus P8P67) BIOS from 2103 to 2303, and the issues have gone away, with also a bit less screen-tearing than I had before, albeit it is still there, just less. I'll keep you guys posted on any other updates, I won't be reinstalling WoW for any reason, especially after this happened.
