Hey guys, I've been having this problem since September of last year. At first I thought it was just audio glitches, but soon noticed while watching videos or playing video games that the video was also stuttering. And a little while later while playing League, I noticed I would be clicking my path differently from where I planned it should which ruins the game. I now believe the whole system is stuttering or at the very least these three.

It all started last year when I moved in with my girlfriend. I transported my computer in my car which has stiff springs where I could basically feel every bump. I didn't really consider this at first, but really worried me halfway through the 45 minute drive. Set up my computer in our living room TV to play VR and watch Netflix, etc. and noticed the audio glitch then. Once I had my whole setup assembled, the problem persisted. I originally assumed it was her TV or the HDMI cable causing the stuttering. I've looked around online to try and find a solution, but none have solved my issue. I have since reseated my GPU, RAM, PCI-E WiFi adapter, and unplugged/replugged SATA Power/Data on my two HDDs and one SSD.

So far, people with this problem I've seen online had hard drive issues, their wifi adapter had a bad driver, and a problem with their audio drivers/video drivers. On top of reseating the components I mentioned, I have diagnosed my drives with their appropriate diagnostic programs (Seagate, Western Digital, and Kingston), and they all say the drives are healthy. I have reinstalled my WiFi adapter drivers, GPU drivers, and audio drivers. I've also read online a clean reinstall of windows could fix the problem, which I haven't done, I've only reinstalled it where I could keep my data. I'm afraid I'll lose my windows activation have I done so.

I have my OS installed on my SSD, and I tried running windows with just the SSD, then either HDD. I thought I found the hard drive with the problem when I saw the problem happening when that specific hard drive was plugged in, so I completely removed it from my system. Not even a week later though, the problem returned, and now I'm at a loss. I'm hoping someone could help me with this issue I'm having. It started out as a minor inconvenience but quickly turned to a major major inconvenience. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My Specs are:
Intel i5-6600K oc @ 4.2GHz
MSI GTX 1070
8GB Viper DDR4 Memory
MSI Z170A Gaming M7 Motherboard
120GB Kingston SSD
1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
500GB Western Digital HDD
Razer NAGA Trinity Mouse
OS = Windows 10
