A couple months ago I had an issue start to happen. At the time it happened when I had twitch open while playing a game, and I would get severe stuttering and lag on my system, but video only, audio was fine. This stutter would occur for 20 to 30 seconds and then go back to normal for ten to twenty minutes.
As time went on the problem got worse until the way it is today when I just did a complete reinstall of Windows 10, restarted the computer, opened just a game, and the stuttering occurs. I should add that I never get this issue with websites, video, etc. open, just gaming.
I forget what they were called, but I was using a couple programs to analyze CPU usage during these spikes. When they occurred, individual processes' CPU usage would drop by 10-20%, but the CPU cores would all max out to 100%. I found no application that was causing the resource gluttony.
I'm beginning to think it is a hardware issue and am debating on buying a new processor, but I wanted to ask around first before I invest. If anyone needs any more information I will be happy to provide.
