Well *fingers crossed* I fixed it by turning off the AIDA64 widget. I was watching resource monitor and trying to make the system stutter. I kept seeing an AIDA64.exe pop up and snag a few percent of the CPU resources. I was just about to step two to uninstall flash player and figured I'd disable the widget and low and behold no more stutter so far. Now to figure out how to report this to the AIDA guy so he can fix it if he so wishes. I really like the info panel on the widget myself.
