That is my log.
 
You're hijack log looks, fine, at first glance.

I'd like to know more by what you mean when you say "hiccup."
What, specifically, happens when your PC hiccups? Is it a predictable event happening when a specific situation is created? Or is it random? Are there general circumstances which seem to always be present when it happens?

At the risk of leading the question, does your PC stutter, as in pause and repeat an image over and over again for a few seconds, and then resume?

Does it just pause and then resume? Does it go blank? What?
Have you checked your Windows log for any events when it hiccups?

There's a program we use at work which does a nice job of capturing events, but I don't know of a freeware equivalent. I'll go look and repost/edit if I can find it.

I mean hiccups, I mean like Bottlenecking from 70-120 FPS down to 1-15 FPS, which makes it unplayable.
 
I THINK I GOT IT!

I think it is the processor, because whenever I bottleneck or Hiccup, TF2/CS:S/DOD:S/Fallout 3/Half life 2/etc. It was 50% CPU then it goes high up to 89-100% used CPU O_O.

I wonder, is the CPU my Computer core chip or is it my RAM?
 
Anthem,

If you're truly running (and I don't doubt - just saying) a X2 6000+ CPU, I highly doubt your processor is the bottleneck unless it's defective.

When talking about the CPU, you're referring to the chip (CPU = central processing unit). I'm still looking for an app you can use to diagnose things on your PC. No luck yet.

What does your system log say?

How do I record system logs?

Or is it Vista?

Now I know that I'm just sttutering now...
