Hi if anyone is interested in helping me ive been having this freeze/stutter issue on my pc for the past few months. This basically started after i upgraded my pc with a new motherboard and a new cpu which are listed above. I noticed that sometimes when gaming there would be times where i would just get massive stutters that are basically freezing until it stops. Its usually not super bad but more like a minor stutter where it doesnt really happen all that often. Sometimes its really bad to where its basically unplayable though. Since this issue has popped up Ive tried various things like wiping my gpu drivers and reinstalling them, replacing my RAM with a new set of sticks, moving the ram sticks around and making sure theyre properly placed, and ive also ran the system file checker to see if that was a problem. So far ive had no luck with any of this and im kind of stumped as to what it may be. Ive also made sure to check all my temps and my GPU peaks at 70-80 under stress and my CPU peaks at 60 . Not only that when the stuttering is particularlly bad and I spam keys i get one beep from the motherboard and previously have gotten 3 beeps which was why i changed my RAM but that hasnt happened again. I was thinking maybe I could just swap out the motherboard but would rather leave that as a final option and would really like any advice anyone is willing to give.

Thank You in advance if anyone reads this.

have you reinstalled the OS after this change?
it's very likely that the old drivers could conflict with the new hardware's.

you also don't mention even if you tried installing all of the latest updated drivers & BIOS for the new motherboard.
you need to include the make & model plus it's overall time in use.

also include specific RAM kit make & model.

the CX-M series are low quality units not intended for gaming or high performance systems in any scenario.

there is a good possibility that this unit just cannot provide proper power at a sustained level for gaming.
So i wanted to wait a bit for replying to see but it seems like reinstalling windows did the trick. Im not totally sure cause it sometimes depends on other factors but it defiently helped. If it pops up again ill look into the psu but thanks!
