First I will state the current build of my computer below.
NVIDIA GTX 980 video card
INTEL I5-4690K cpu
SAMSUNG SSD 1TB
24 Gbytes of DDR3 dual channel ram
z97MX-Gaming 5 Gigabyte motherboard
Windows 10
Explanation of problem:
Periodically my computer stutters while gaming or even when idle. The stutters will be more severe while gaming. They are fairly random though. At times I will barley notice any stuttering, and other times it can get really bad. Typically it just feels like the mouse jumping around the screen and it freezing up for like a half second or so. When it's bad the stuttering will be every 30 seconds or so and can last for up to 2 seconds at a time.
Here are some things to note:
■ Not an internet speed connection. Happens offline & online.
■ Seems to be worst the longer my computer is left on. (not ALL the time but more often)
■ not a low spec issue because the games it will happen on are relatively low demand and will get over 100 fps.
■ started happening pretty randomly. built computer months ago and now recently just started happening.
Troubleshooting:
■ full windows reset but left drivers installed.
■ updated all and any drivers I could find.
■ stress tested cpu and it stayed consistent and stayed at 100% usage
■ did a SMART check on SSD and it came up OK
■ Did malwarebyte scan and AVG virus scan with no viruses/malware
■ checked temps, when not gaming they get no higher than mid 40's but while gaming they can peak around 75C
Weird Things I've noticed:
■ Stuttering improved slightly after windows reset
■ occasionally the usage of my SSD will stay at 100% for a minute or so even while idle. but computer does not freeze.
■ they seem to happen in bunches or more frequently pretty random. can't really figure out a rhyme or reason
Any help will be greatly appreciated... I'm just lost on what to do next.
1 last FYI my computer has barley any startup apps running not much on here (Because of windows restart)
**update** a while back close to when it first started happening I did get a screen of blue death but I can not remember exactly what it said but it crashed while I was gaming and I just restarted computer at the time.
