Hi there, after troubleshooting my computer for months I found out that my SSD was the thing that was giving me problems. I constantly got stuttering in all games.

I took out my PNY XLR8 and installed the OS on my HDD and all is well, everything works PERFECT. I return the XLR8 and purchase a Crucial MX100 to replace it and put my OS back on it. This one has the same issue. I think that it's a software or setting issue, I don't know what though.

These are the things I've tried:

The SATA controllers are set to ACHI
When I click on my SSD in BIOS it's set to a SSD, not an HDD
TRIM on and off
I've tried different SATA ports
I've tried different SATA cables
I'm using a 6 gb/s sata cable
I've Disabled Link Power Management
I turned off WIndows Write-cache buffer flushing
Windows is set to High Performance
Disabled pagefile

I wonder if the transfer rate is slower with the SSD than it was with a HDD.

Can You run HD Tune on the SSD (and preferably on the HDD?) It can tell us the transfer rate on each device.
