This is an update from the linked thread. I'm still getting the audio and video skipping. I did several diagnostics on CPU, RAM, HDD, and Chipset. All the tests came back with no errors. I reformatted and reinstalled windows, and it still does it. Any other ideas as to what is causing this?

Maybe you're video card is messed up? Any reason to suspect it would be? Games or anything related doing anything funny?

Edit: Didn't look at the link. I guess just +1 vote for video card suspicion.

Edit: Replace it with another one temporarily to see if it fixes it (if you have a spare)

Edit: If you DO do that, uninstall the display drivers first so Windows doesn't freak out.

Alright I'll try my old GTX460 for a little bit and see if my computer still "skips". Ill update in a hour or so.

Well, I now know for sure it is not the video card or ram causing it. I swapped out them both and still got the problem. My guess is the motherboard. Is there any way to test this?

My Mom's old computer used to do that when it would get too hot. I blew all the dust out and made sure the cpu cooler was nice and clean and it stopped skipping. Its worth a shot and hopefully, your problem is that simple.

Process of elimination is the only way I know. Make sure all your other hardware works by trying individual parts in another computer/replacing those parts with ones from another computer.

Edit: You should also remove any unnecessary components (extra HDD's, DVD Drives, etc.) just to be certain you don't end up replacing something expensive because of some weird glitch with a peripheral.
