My computer randomly stutters. Where you can also hear the audio stutter too. Help me.

---------------------------

It is a fairly new build. A couple of months old.
(The SSD and 1TB hard drive are a little older. From an older system)
This build should be amazing. But I am having problems.

For some reason, it stutters randomly and I don’t know what causes it.

I got another motherboard before, and it happened even worse. Like all the time. So I switched to this upgraded motherboard and the problem went away for the most part.

It is very annoying. Say I am listening to music or watching a video. The audio will do these little micro stutters. Where the audio scratches, or cuts out a tiny bit. And then resumes. It happens very quickly.

When I was downloading something the other day. To the 4tb hard drive. The computer nearly came to stand still. I could barely move the mouse. Everything was really slow. As soon as I stopped the download. It was ok again.

Does anyone know what the cause could be. What tests I should run? What you think might fix this?

I spent a lot of money and this machine should be fantastic.

PS, when gaming it is fine for some reason.

The computer can have times when it is randomly perfect.

No the SSD has the windows install on it. It is now 3 years old.

The other drives are storage drives.

I'm having this exact same issue. Everything runs fine until there's a random hiccup and the audio stutters as if the system is about to bluescreen, but then everything just continues as normal. It could happen once a day, or several times. At this point I'm genuinely considering a full rebuild just to get away from the problem.

Have you come across any solution yet?

No none at all.

I think it might be the graphics card, as that is the only thing I didn;'t replace.
