Issue likely due to your expectations via overclocking. Overclocking will stress hardware parts.

Similar behavior on unclocked stock systems. Why expect no video frame lag on an overclocked system if this issue is present on an unclocked stock system? Your display could be lagging in draw/refresh rate and the rest of the system is fine.

Overclocking will not fix everything. In fact, it can make things worse.

Still exists

This didn't happen when I didn't overclock my parts
My CPU was overclocked for a couple months no problems.
I then overclocked my GPU and a week or so after this problem happened

Everything has been reset to default and I replaced my GPU with a stock one and this problem still occurs

It does not really matter as it was overclocked

And something could partially fail.

For a test run I always try a LiveCD of any other OS. (see LiveCD on google).

If it's a client I can slip in another HDD to install Windows and basic drivers to see if it's another corrupt OS.

-> If it is a corrupt OS, may God have mercy as repair is never a sure thing.

Another problem

Update.
I now found out it's not only video lag.
With AERO enabled, there is no shadow trail but whenever i'm browsing the net, my mouse and sound will stutter horribly. My CPU also spikes a lot as you can see from the pic, this is all from just checking my email to looking at youtube.

So far I have replaced my GPU and Motherboard for a replacement.

Did you try the old usual? (hint? Disable Flash Hardware Acceleration)
