[SOLVED] How to fix system wide stuttering?

Hello everyone, first time poster.

I've had an issue with my system with system wide micro stuttering for several months now and so far no solutions I've implemented have been helpful. System is as follows:

i7 6850k CPU
2080 TI
2x 8g dominator platinum
HX850i
Asus Rog ramage V edition 10

The micro stuttering will start during video games or streaming services (seemingly randomly) and will persist for seemingly random intervals. When the stuttering starts it doesn't seem to put additional strain on any of the systems. I don't get spikes in any hardware monitoring that I use, icue xoc and windows performance don't show any increased workload. I also tried to capture the stuttering once with a recording software but when I reviewed the footage it didn't show the stuttering. Also strangely switching resolutions and then switching back seems to resolve the issue temporarily. This issue has persisted through new ram and a new gpu. I've also wiped and reinstalled windows and that didn't seem to fix it. I'm suspecting that Avast auto update is the culprit at this point, but I'm wondering if there's any solutions available that don't require a wipe and reset. I've also tried updating bios and enabling xmp but those didn't fix the issue.

First thing, with that CPU you have 1/2 the optimal memory. That CPU has a quad channel memory controller. 4 DIMMs will provide max performance.

Good to know, I will purchase more RAM. But this is not an issue I've always had with the PC, it's something that started several months back and I've only ever had 2 sticks.

What temperatures are you having?
What ram usage are you having?

My CPU temps don't exceed 40 and GPU temps don't exceed 70 last time I checked (I have alerts set up for temps above that on both). I will try to replicate it to get exact figures as we speak.

As far as RAM usage goes exact figures I will have to replicate the stutter again but I've never seen it spike on the windows hwm.
