Hi. My problem is as follows: PC stutters quite often, when this happens, most notable is the audio crackling. It reminds me of a FPS drop, this is also simultaneously notable when running a game. Screen freezes for a few milliseconds, you know the usual, I think.
Example:
I start my PC, absolutely no stress after over 12 hours of power off. I run Spotify, play some music and start some app, like MS Word I used to write this. My system should definitely NOT experience the described audio crackling and screen freezing every few minutes.
Also, I was streaming yesterday. Same thing happened again constantly. Now the PC was under quite heavy load, but components had proper breathing room, no torturing them there either. Notable was that after this heavier usage, heavier stress ended, streaming software closed and game used a lot less of components. Issues continued as usual.
So, what I mean is that this issue is persistent in all use of my system.
Specs:
i7-11700K
RX 6900 XT
32 GB DDR4 RAM, 3600 Hz etc…
1 TB of Seagate 530 NVMe SSD
1 kW PSU
All the drivers are, or should be, up to date, running the latest Win11.
I don’t think my PC is lacking, that’s why I would think of a software issue (don't know is this the right place to post this). What do you think? I do have a lot of background apps, sure, but trying to monitor component usage, only marginal spikes do appear in the graphs, like VERY marginal. One of the most infamous software is running all time as well, antivirus software. I cannot track any apparent issues tho, nothing.
I appreciate any help and suggestions to where to investigate this kind of behavior.
EDIT:
This is how it looks like, whether PC is under load or not: https://dl.orangedox.com/kncRWAg5S1nS64TLb6
Couple of times, under load this time, screen not only froze, but blinked grey as well. Only for the stutter's length, a few milliseconds again.
Bluetooth was one of my suspects, however nothing changed when using wired headphones BT disabled.
