Stutter in games after replacements

[fromd]

Hope im in the right section, but here goes:

Just this week i have upgraded some components in my pc. A new case, a new motherboard (MSI z77MA-G45) and a new PSU (Corsair TX V2 850W PSU).

After the upgrades i've tried a few different games out, and i'm getting this weird stutter in all of them. It's like the enviroments and characters in the games are skipping around, kinda like when having low fps, but it's a solid 60fps at all times. Tried lower settings, tried different graphics drivers, tried disabling core-parking and disabling some energy saving modes in BIOS but nothing works.

Rest of my spec:

Intel Core i7 2600K @ 3,40 Ghz
8 GB DDR3
MSI GeForce GTX 680 2GB PhysX CUDA

Any help much appreciated!

Did you reinstall the windows after motherboard swap? Because I suppose you changed chipset, and if you did, windows reinstall is a must.

Yes i did, but that didn't help.

What about CPU usage? Is it spiking in task manager during the stutters?

Yes i did, but that didn't help.

have you got any background programs running and what hdd you using?

some people have stuttering problems when a lot of programs running in background and on a hdd (ssds are faster so dont have this issue)

try different ram ratios . some boards will allow you to set different ratios to get the same overall ram speed sometimes if that is set wrong you can get stutters.

Im not sure what HDD it is, but ive also got an SSD, tested games on each seperately and its the same.

How do i set different RAM ratios?

Also since i've reinstalled Win 7 i haven't really installed any background app. Only things running Realtek audio hd config and nvidia drivers and the CPU doesn't spike, no.

well, you still haven't answered my question...

I did, but i can do it again: No spiking going on with the CPU while in the games.

Can you try disabling VSync just to see if it makes a difference?

Tried that to, without any luck. I'm beginning to suspect some kind of hardware failure maybe.

This guy seems to have the exact same problem as me (He describes it better)

Did you try another mouse? Silly question, but stuttering can easily be caused by low quality mouse or the surface it's held on. Try putting a book below it.

Tried two different mouses, and also a gamepad but it's the same

Unfortunately not. Let me know if you do

 

[meetthegman]

and what HDD u have sometimes its HDD fault , well my friend had this prob to , he had seagate HDD and when he changed to Western Digital this lag was gone , but im not really sure its same to me cuz i have good seagate HDD http://www.hardinfo-benchmark.com/compare/hdd-harddisk/50/seagate-st500dm002-1bc142-hdd-performance-review

 

[meetthegman]

Have u tried older games like just cause 2 , team fortress 2 , they are running without that lag

 

[fromd]

This is really, really odd... But i disabled Intel EIST in my BIOS and the stutter is gone? How...? Can this be right?

 

[fromd]

Worst thing is that i enabled it again to doublecheck, and now i doesn't fix it when i disable it....

Try resetting CMOS...

Try resetting CMOS...

Well that actually seemed to help quite a bit! It's not completely gone but it's much better, so i think we're closing in on it!

 

[fromd]

So, after a few hours it returned... I'm really getting frustrated now..
