    Question New high end PC, infrequent but annoying stutter

    you mentioned it even happens on desktop, right? i would be a lot more suspect of the gpu drivers if it happened exclusively while gaming or running gpu benchmarks. the most common cause of stuttering is the pc having to "wait" on something, whether that be because it doesn't have enough...

    Question New high end PC, infrequent but annoying stutter

    yeah, this is the worst part about troubleshooting this type of stuff. it's not like "my pc won't turn on" where you can just bring it into a hardware store and swap out parts until it eventually does turn on. to me, the first "layer" of suspicion would be cpu, ram or your ssd. followed by gpu...

    Question New high end PC, infrequent but annoying stutter

    frametime spikes can be caused by a massive amount of things. at the end of the day, you're right, it IS most likely to be software related if you have a capable system. it's not uncommon to have a misbehaving network or related driver that is causing dpc latency, or polling rate that is too...

    Question New high end PC, infrequent but annoying stutter

    gotcha. so at this point, seeing as you reinstalled windows (hopefully you completely wiped windows instead of just reinstalling & keeping your files, doing it like that can keep drivers and such) i'm pretty confident it's a hardware issue. do you have any return waranties still in effect? just...

    Question New high end PC, infrequent but annoying stutter

    it's constantly about every 30 mins? do you have a "slideshow" type screensaver on your desktop that automatically changes your screensaver every once in a while? i've seen a few people have stutter issues caused by that

    [SOLVED] can anyone help pep talk me into pc building after a build gone very wrong?

    yeah unfortunately this experience has made me realise that i have an issue with catastrophizing and stress. i am able to tell myself and understand that this is not something that i should be stressing over to this extent, but as soon as i think about it too much, any reasoning goes out the...

    [SOLVED] can anyone help pep talk me into pc building after a build gone very wrong?

    gigabyte b550 vision d. i went through a ton of ssds - two samsung 970 pro, a wd550, and a crucial p5. i started out with a corsair sf750 and ended up with a coolermaster v850 sfx over the course of troubleshooting. i am pretty over what actually may have caused all of this to happen in the...

    [SOLVED] can anyone help pep talk me into pc building after a build gone very wrong?
