Hi everyone,
I wanted to make sure I did as much testing as possible before posting another fps question, but I haven't been able to fix the issue fully. My issue is that when I first boot up my pc, games run perfectly for as long as I want. I can open BF1 and play for hours without stuttering. As soon as I close the game and start doing web browsing, let the computer sit, play another game etc my games begin to stutter. This happens in pretty much all games.
I've tried a lot of hardware testing so i'm assuming it is software related at this point. I have tried memtest in all kinds of configurations for long periods of time, all the recent(and older 388.) nvidia drivers making sure to uninstall the last with DDU, monitored the clocks and power usage of all components (all steady), the sound does not glitch when the stutters occur, temperatures on the cpu and gpu never exceed 65 and 68 respectively, i've tried with all overclock settings disabled, set power management to max performance in drivers, wifi turned off, scanned the computer for virus', checked vrm temperatures the list goes on. I also disabled windows DVR and alot of the services not needed in windows like superfetch, as my operating system is on an nvme m.2 drive. None of this made a difference.
The only things that have helped slightly were disabling HPET (made fps smooth but didnt get rid of random spikes) and the shaderchache (seemed to lower the frequency of the hitches but only slightly).
I currently have the pagefile disabled but it didn't really make a difference having it on, off, automated or just setting it to a huge value.
At this point i'm wondering if anyone knows any good software error finding techniques or past experiences.
PC Specs:
--> 8700k (for the moment at 4.4ghz)
--> MSI 1080ti gaming x (stock with msi afterburner custom fan curve)
--> 16gb of 3000mhz T-force Dark Ram (xmp is enabled but disabling it didnt make a difference)
--> MSI z370 pc pro (Not the best for the 8700k i know but my overclocks aren't drastic)
--> Corsair RM750X
--> Corsair h110i v2
--> NZXT s340 elite
--> and some tp-link archer pci wireless adapter (no difference connecting via ethernet)
My games are installed on a WD Blue HDD but the brief test i did with the game on my m.2 drive didn't yield results that were any better.
Thank you for taking the time to read that, any help would be appreciated.
