My pc cant install drivers automatically or manually, which results in massive visual and audio-stuttering affecting all activity on the pc.
History: My computer was working perfectly for a whole year up until about three months ago, when i encountered the stuttering the first time. It was right about that time that I had gotten my custom keyboard and wireless arctis 7 headset. I recieved the keyboard about two weeks before the issues, and the headset a day before.
Full story: The initial issues with the setup manifested in brief/momentary stutters every now and againg when I would boot up my pc. Initially I thought it to be mouse flickering as the cursor would jump and cause visual stuttering. The PC would not power off and would encounter BSOD's when doing so. Audio stuttering also ensued as to why I tried deleting all software related to the headset. Suspecting it to be a GPU driver issue i then booted into safemode, uninstalled adrenaline software and then used DDU to uninstall. Afterwards when trying to install GPU drivers with adrenaline software it would stop halfway and encounter "a general issue".
Next step was to do a clean install of windows 10, which was done internally through the windows feature (not from a flash drive). Disconnecting all external drives, removing usb's and so forth. The PC would have issues installing windows 10 and one night it was doing so throughout the night and through the morning forcing me to physically turning the pc off. After a few unsuccesful tries it finally went through and i thought the pc was fine. I reinstalled chipset drivers and GPU drivers manually. It booted up and the visual noise was gone until i restarted it and it all came back. I then used windows tool to check if there were any issues with my hdd (scannow or something, it's all a bit fuzzy a few months later). I also used a program to see if my ram was faulty, which after an hour or two confirmed that they weren't the issue.
I then tried testing my GPU with furmark where the visual stuttering really would shine through. I then switched out my powercolor 5700xt with an old nvidia gtx 970, which worked just fine. Of course using DDU before installing a new GPU.
After troubleshooting this I send my PC to a specialist, who would confirm some issues, which he thought to be GPU-related. I then RMA'd my GPU which after 8 weeks was confirmed and I was given my money back. This was 4 weeks ago. (My thoery is that there was nothing wrong with the GPU and the seller has simply taken it back and paid me back money as to keep the GPU, which is twice the value at the moment)
After searching far and wide for a new GPU i ended up with buying a second-hand 6700xt at scalper-price. After seeing it working just fine in the sellers PC.
Today I used DDU before installing my new GPU. I inserted the GPU and booted up the PC. Return visual stuttering, which weren't there when I was using the gtx 970. I also haven't been able to install updated drivers for the 6700xt. I tried using adrenaline software and searching for it through device manager and updating it there. With adrenaline it would simply stop at about 50% and afterwards give a error message linking to the troubleshooting page of AMD.
I have never done any overclocking or undervolting of my GPU og RAM. Everything have been at baseclock at all times.
Gentlemen. I am in dire need of assistance as my tiny brain can't seem to resolve this issue by my lonesome. I (think) have tried every possible google solution and nothing seems to fit my exact set of issues. Thank you in advance.
In regards of my writing do tell me if there are any issues with understanding certain passages. I have strained myself, and my wrist , in writing this and you are my last option
