Lately i've been having problems with my computer have random "shudders", meaning it will freeze for a split second out of nowhere. Any suggestions for what it could be and suggestions for fixing it? I have a 400watt psu, and my rails are fine. It kind of sounds like the ram too me but i'm not sure.

Have you recently downloaded SP2? 1.6v on your AGP buss? 2.8v on your Vdimm? At least 17a on your 12v rail?

I have my vcore, agp voltage, and vdimm on auto. Is it better to have set it myself? If so, what voltages should I use for my system?

I always set everything manually, Donnie. There is a lot of variation in mb's. Take this IS7 for instance. Auto Vcore should be 1.525v. In reality via EQ, 1.5v. etc, etc. A lot of boards undervolt Vdimm and Vcore. This one undervolts AGP also. Check all your settings and actual voltages with a program like MBM5, EQ, SpeedFan, etc. The last stutter problem I had was a memory issue (board).
