Before I upgraded to my new Samsung 850 Pro, Battlefield Hardline and 4 both ran like a dream. Now I don't need you to tell me how much you don't like Hardline because I thoroughly enjoy it but am unfortunately unable to play it (online/ haven't touched campaign yet). When I try to play either game I get huge hiccups of 3-4 seconds (most happen when shooting/ being shot at but they do happen when I am just running/ aiming/ etc). I haven't noticed any problems in any other games and am currently playing through Far Cry 4 on ultra settings flawlessly. I do have both Battlefield games on my secondary drive and I have Far Cry 4 on my SSD (where the OS is located) but Far Cry 4 is the only game currently on my SSD and all others are on my secondary running just fine. Both Battlefield games ran flawlessly before I upgraded to my SSD and reinstalled windows. The only thing that I have come up with is that I could need a bigger PSU but I don't really see how the SSD could put it over it's limit. I did try to unplug my Hitachi drive which is just kind of sitting in there (to conserve power) but that made no difference. I would also like to note that all 3 drives are on the same line of cabling coming from the PSU. Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
I moved Battlefield over to my SSD to see if I would be able to play it then. Still get the stutters just as bad. I also tried to play the campaign while it was on my SSD, same deal. So I'm lost right now. Before putting in my new SSD I had both Battlefields installed and running them like nothing and now I can't even play them. I have taken videos with Shadowplay if seeing them would help anyone (both multiplayer and campaign). Also before anyone asks, I still have the problem when Shadowplay is completely turned off. I really hope to fix this problem so I don't have a $100+ worth of content that I can't even touch.

I have done everything in step #3 and tried to do #1 but don't have any .cab files. Everything except for the application files show up as Winrar files so i just ran the dxsetup and tried that route. Nothing has helped even slightly.
