Got a new Prebuilt gaming PC. Everything is running smoothly for the most part. Relatively tough games like Overwatch run like butter with no issues, yet so far 2 specific games (League of Legends and Starcraft 2) are getting small Microstutters/FPS drops. The FPS drops only for a fraction of a second, and it’s non consistent. Sometimes the FPS won’t drop for a full minute or 2, other times it will drop 4 or 5 times in a single minute.
I’ve tried a ton of different potential fixes and haven’t made any progress. This strikes me as a very strange problem as it’s only specific games, and they are games that this PC should breeze through without breaking a sweat.

This is the PC
