CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 Six-core
GPU: RTX 2060
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB & Toshiba P300 2 TB 7200RPM HDD
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400 MHz
Motherboard: Asus Prime B350-PLUS
Lately my PC has been stuttering a lot during games. Stutters get longer and more frequent as I play. Recently been playing Sea of Thieves, Minecraft, and Horizon Zero Dawn and it's been the same through all of them, even does it when typing, on here and discord. I've googled the issue however nothing has worked.
I've shut down background processes, turned off game mode and game bar, changed power settings to high performance, turned off IQUE, the lot. When I have the performance tab open on task manager on my second monitor while playing Zero Dawn my CPU and RAM is generally at 60%, GPU at 20%, while my HDD (which the game is installed on, as opposed to the SSD I have my system files and smaller games on) usually stays at 0 then jumps to 90% or over occasionally.
I have had the HDD for around 5 years now, never knew to defrag until now, but when I went to do it it was only 1% fragged, which I optimised anyway. I'm wondering if replacing the HDD would help these issues.
