Stutter while recording in games and other small problems

[kittyblissfull]

Hi Everybody.

I have a problem with my pc. I get screen stutters while recording my gameplay. When using shadowplay it gets more 'acceptable stutter'. When recording with Action! Recorder or any other software i get alot of stutter. Everytime i press record the fps goes down a bit. But normally i don't notice that. I record videogameplay for over a year with Action software and it is not working anymore since 2 weeks ago. Stutter is all over the place now. Only when i record! This is my setup;

• 
  *I7 8700K + Liquid Cooling *Note my CPU is NOT overclocked*
  *MSI Motherboard 370 Gaming
  *16 GB Memory
  *1080GTX
  *Crucial SSD, 2x Samsung SSD, Hard Disk 3 TB
  *PSU RM550X
  *Windows 10

What i already tried;

*Memtest turned out good.
*Tried it with only keyboard and mouse.
*Tried the banks in other slots
*Tested recording on every SSD .
*Tested out 8 different recording programs, all with the same results (Except for shadowplay giving the best results but not perfect).
*Did stresstests on the whole rig (Temperatures remain normal).
*Tried to lower my screenrefresh rate from 144 to 60.
*Installed a clean windows on a different SSD.
*Did a ssd benchmark to see if it is still good.
*Tried another PSU.
*Checked if the CPU is throttleing, that is not the case.
*I also verified windows with the command sfc/ scannow, no problems found.
*Did a stresstest on the GPU. Didn't saw any flaws.
*Changed Multi display performance mod to single display performance mod.

I also have some small other weird problems with my pc;

*Sometimes my usb ports fall out for a second or 2 and turn back on.
*My screendrivers sometimes fail.
*I got rarely weird artifacts on my screen that was not recordable by screen recording software.
*I got one ssd that is not alway's recognized by the motherboard.
*Sometimes my pc is extremely slow, and other times not.
*My pc starts up very slow.

I hope somebody can think along what else i can do to discover what is going on here.

Remember 2 weeks ago i had no problems with stutter (the small problems were there but NO stutter)

Thank you for reading.

I got the answer by the way.

One of my SSD's were interfering. I disabled all ssd's and went through them one by one.

I don't know if this is the problem because i have screen stutters no audio sutters but i did the test anyway.
This is the report with nothing open just on windows.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.

NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

[kittyblissfull]

Tried turning on game boost in the bios. That failed, i wonder if that means something or if there is a connection.

 

[logainofhades]

That PSU is a little on the low side, wattage wise, for such a system, in my opinion.

That PSU is a little on the low side, wattage wise, for such a system, in my opinion.

Yeah i noticed that to while researching the problem. I will upgrade that one again.

I got the answer by the way.

One of my SSD's were interfering. I disabled all ssd's and went through them one by one.

 

[kittyblissfull]

And nope, the problem is there again. Can anybody help?

The problem was resolved yesterdayevening by removing a specific ssd. Today the issue is back again.
