HL2 and G-Mod "skipping"

[Cheesy74]

I'm not sure how best to describe this. Every so often while I'm playing, usually when the walking animation loops, the game freezes for a split second and skips a few frames ahead. Audio is unaffected. I've tried messing with video settings. No matter how low I go, it doesn't stop the skipping. A search through the forums doesn't show any similar problems to mine.

It's not an incredibly urgent or jarring problem, but it's annoying nonetheless. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

First you can tell us the specs of your computer. Then people will ask if you have updated drivers recently.

Then a man carrying a briefcase will walk by your house at exactly 9:00 pm.

Speak to him for further instructions.

Ah, I forgot those little steps. Drivers are fully updated, and this is my dxdiag. It's a bit old, but my specs haven't changed since (except the drivers, which are now v191.07, released October 5th.

The man with the briefcase asked who I was and told me to leave him alone, so I'm pretty lost on that front.

Install the latest video drivers and try disabling multicore rendering in HL2/GMOD.
