Hello, I made this computer almost a year ago and I started having stuttering problem 6 months ago. Here are the part from PCPartPicker https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Alienmen/saved/#view=P9bypg

The microstuttering is not limited to the game I play, but what im doing with the computer. From what I have seen, it appear when im on firefox with lots of tabs open or when I place the computer on sleep for an extented period of time. The problem appear and disappear randomly. It only trully stop when I close the computer and restart it (I have to close the PC, not just do a restart). It can also stop randomly, altough this is rarer

When the microstutter start, it seems that the whole computer stutter. There's a microsecond delay with the mouse movement and when there's audio during the stutter, it make an horrible noise as if the sound was a buzz noise (here an more intense exemple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax7QMhIwsQE)

The problem seems to be related to firefox, but I am not sure
 


Its odd then, because my graphic card is always up to date.

I tried the solution to the video I linked in my first post, I also tried something in the about:config of firefox, might have worked, no microstuttering so far


 
The micro stuttering within Firefox can be one of several issues. It could be from an extension or add-on not working properly, cache size being to big, etc etc. Only true way of finding the issue is to narrow it down bit by bit. My Firefox was stuttering for a long time before I reinstalled it and all issues had gone away.
 
So far I tried 2 things and the microstuttering didnt reappear.

Well it reappered, but only after I made the computer came back from being asleep for an extended period. The stuttering didnt last.

Im starting to start it might be linked to my internet connection...
