Hello!

My computer while gaming is fine until a couple of minutes in when everything has been running for a while. It starts with this micro stuttering. I mostly play Hell let loose and Battlefield 5 and 1. on 1440p. Pretty high settings in both games. The thing is this does not happen every time. I always shut the computer off at the end of the day if I start it.
I have been trying to monitoring temperatures and I believe it starts to happen when my GPU reaches 65C. Do not think it is the hot spot.
Sometimes it gets better if I remove the side panel, the symptoms decreases a bit. I have new thermal paste and pads for the GPU to be installed. Just hesitating a bit to do the job(as I could <Mod Edit> mess it up).

What I think it is:
General or specific component heat problems. One time at summer I opened the case up and had a external room fan blowing straight at the computer. Think it helped.
I added another case fan (3 intake at front 1 exhaust back top and 1 exhaust top rear)
What I've tried:
As I mentioned. Adding another exhaust fan. Setup also worked fine before adding it. but then when problem started to occur more frequently I thought why not try it.
Open up the case.

I have run OCCT and tried different modes. What I got was following:
PSU stress test = stuttering the same that happens when in-game.
Only CPU test = nothing
GPU 3d adaptive heavy = nothing
GPU Vram = nothing
GPU 3D standard = nothing
CPU + RAM = nothing
Linpack = nothing

I uploaded a .txt from OCCT when running PSU stress test, after about 5minutes it starts showing. I hope someone can read the file and identify any issues.

How old is the PSU in your build?

BIOS version for your motherboard?

Got a link to the ram you're working with?

You might want to get to it, asap, though before you do, try and use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually reinstall the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

Thanks for your reply.

I will try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers the way you mentioned.

I am not sure how old it is. I assume it is new. The pc is built 2023. Yes the GPU is from 2018.
I think it is these RAMs RAM

Bios version is 1.28 7/28/2023. Yes I know outdated. Tried updating bios before but my usb 3.0 doesnt get recognized by the bios somehow. Yes it is formatted correctly.

Did you insert the USB in the correct slot and used the BIOS FLBK button on the back I/O of the motherboard?
I tried other ports. As the asrock bios update pictures, (sure not the same color scheme but) I don't get the same uefi flash utility under tools. I'm yet to try the flash button on the back. Is there any downsides if my USB isnt recognizable? So I have not tried the FLBK button yet
