....Anywz....i had a small query....i own an AMD 64 3000+, MSI RS480M2-IL mobo wid 1GB DDR(512*2) n all this on a 400w pwr supply....i have been facing this peculiar prob since long...after sum time of pc operation my pc starts stuttering...even the mouse movement at times gives jerks wen moving around on the desktop....nd i guess its related to heatng coz this happens mostly wen the ambient temperature is high or after starting 3ds max or sum games like nfsmw, etc....even the songs played on winamp strt stuttering aftr sumtime.....but this doesnt always happen...wud a thermal cooler b of any help????? cuz i dont wanna invest 3k in a cooler if heating is not the culprit....pls guide

Also, i plan to go for 8600gt 256mb or 7600gt 256mb.....wich one is gud....nd wil both suit my system in terms of temperature n compatibility????

Man, first put forward your query in seperate sentences, will be easy to read.
Anyhow, firstly what are the current temps?
If there's dust clean it, do some cable management to have a proper air flow. How many fans and in what orientation?
Those AMD 3000+ (I think its venice core) rarely have heating issue at stock frequency. Maybe try a different PSU (if possible) and see if the problem is solved.

oh...i kno i guess i hav made the issue too compilcated...but u see...thts my desperation for a solution...anywz...idle temp for cpu is 61 deg n sys temp is 43deg....

Idle temps of 61C

Remove the HSF, clean it, put a fresh layer of thermal paste and see if it helps. I had amd 3000+ which was overclocked to 2.5GHz and had a load temp of 54c.
And as said earlier, clean the inside.
