Regularly recurring stuttering - valzi - 12-12-2009

In all games I have tried so far, every few minutes (and sometimes within the space of less than a minute) the entire program stutters. By this, I mean that the visuals freeze and the sound gets stuck on a loop that is about 1/4th of a second long. After this, the game returns to full speed. (Yes, I'm getting pleasant speeds except for during stutter.) Any idea what is causing this?

What are your PC specs and what are the games you're trying to play?
