FPS drop/ stutter GPU going from 0 to 100% repeteadly

[darkom1973]

Hello, i have a fps drop/stutter problem where the gpu goes from 0 to 100% usage repeatedly, happens only with the new MB,CPU,RAM, temps are fine, it happens everywhere (desktop, ALL games), it cant be the gpu since the same thing was happening with my old gpu but same mb,cpu,ram. I did no OC and my MB has only 2 slots


specs: gpu: msi armor RX 580 8GB Motherboard: Biostar B350ET2
CPU:ryzen 5 1600
RAM: 8GB 2400mhz
HDD: Seagate barracuda 1TB
I cant post a video of it

Have you installed the drivers properly? and restart at the end.

My work collegue installed windows (custom build) so i dont know if every driver is there but i got the latest gpu drivers and im sure i didnt screw up, anyway like i said above, it cant be the gpu since it did this with my old gpu too

When it happening in the desktop is there any application come up with abnormal usage CPU/GPU.
I believe you can monitor them using Task manager or something.

 

[darkom1973]

Task manager shows nothing that would cause this, the biggest process uses max 100mb of ram and 0-0.1% cpu

 

[darkom1973]

Altough process explorer shows a LOT and i mean a lot of svchost.exe, is that a problem?

No it's usual as long as there are in the details tab... can you try to reinstall the OS? i believe you havn't tried that yet.

 

[darkom1973]

No i havent, im keeping that as the last resort because i didnt find a legit way to keep my data, i havent tried memtest or mdsched because i heard they can get stuck so i dont want to risk it, could it be the motherboard? It was very cheap and i saw someone else having the same problem with the same motherboard

 

[darkom1973]

And it started doing it immediately since the first windows reinstall after installing the new mb,cpu,ram, sometimes even the startup (windows logo) lagged

Can't exactly tell it without swamping several things in and out... need to see how things ruining with another PSU before making that point.

 

[darkom1973]

I do have another psu, but its a 450W eurocase so yeah, id rather not try that, anyway i doubt im testing the PSUs limits because the current compents have exactly the same TDP as the old ones which didnt do this

But can't judge things with rated TDP there are only work at base clocks .... anyway if you're going to check it with another PSU make sure it's above 500W or may be more.

 

[darkom1973]

The one i use is 450w, but it cant be psu because it happens even when idle on desktop

 

[darkom1973]

Maybe this is important but about 15 days ago when i was downloading the 1809 update, it gave me the PnP watchdog blue screen but it normally booted after that

 

[darkom1973]

And currently i dont gave the funds to buy a 500W+ psu, i wasted my budget on a monitor

 

[Nirmith Akash Anawarathne]

Then as said backup your data and reinstall the OS which is more easier than touching the hardware at ones.
Not so sure but we should start somewhere.

 

[darkom1973]

Well the backing up part is hard because i have just 1 drive that is almost full and i wont pay for online storage

 

[Nirmith Akash Anawarathne]

Then there's another way boot a Linux live image with a USB

 

[darkom1973]

im very suspicious that its the MB since ive seen someone with the same problem with the same MB, and it was really cheap (75$) from a not really known brand

 

[darkom1973]

I have no idea how to do that

 

[Nirmith Akash Anawarathne]

Here how it done and then plug it and boot from the BIOS no need of installing just run a live image

So is the pnp watchdog blue screen a giveaway of the source of the problem? Before i reinstall i wanna know if its a software or a hw issue
