Question Upgraded PC, constant stuttering and freezing on low demanding games and browsers, high end hardware

[Tallyna]

Recently my old pc ran into a bluescreen that made it unable to boot windows, if I tried to run the windows installation media it would after a long time load the initial window and would then get stuck loading. After seeing this issue still occring even with no ssd's connected I assumed either my cpu or motherboard was broken since these (and my psu) are the oldest hardware in my PC. I bought a new CPU and Motherboard. Ran the installation media successfully (no bootable windows found on my ssd so I assume they got corruped) installed a new windows 11 and everything looked fine. Now however I see constant weird stuttering when I play games that my hardware should be able to run, the recent example is that factorio will just freeze when moving around once in a while, my ethernet connection will sometimes disappear and chrome will also just refuse to load websites at times. The weirdest I see is that if I run factorio on one window and just play a youtube video on the other it performance tanks for both.

Right now I have tried to use google and chatgpt to diagnose my computer, using hwinfo, speccy and such, only thing I have seen yet is that when the freezes happens my cpu frequency drops to 0. The cpu never maxes out and it never gets hotter than 70c

My main theory is that either I must have installed something wrongly when building my pc, or my psu might have been the thing that was broken and still is, though I am unsure how to diagnose this, I havent seen any issues when looking at 3.3V, 5V or 12V in HWinfo, anyone know what could be the issue?

These are my specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
Motherboard: Gigabyte X870E AORUS MASTER (AM5)
RAM: 2x16GB Vengeance DDR5, 2400MHz
Graphic Card: Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 Ti Super (Gigabyte)
Storage:
465GB Western Digital WDC WDS500G2B0A-00SM50 (SATA (SSD))
111GB KINGSTON SH103S3120G (SATA-3 (SSD))
PSU: Silverstone Technology SST-ST1200-PTS 1200W

For drivers I installed the lastest nvidia drivers through geforce experience and I installed the chipset drivers for the motherboard

Hey there,

You are on pretty much on a new platform, so you will need to keep your bios up to date. What bios version are you running? It should be version F4i here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X870E-AORUS-MASTER/support#support-dl-bios

If your bios is up to date, then you might try clear CMOS, and reset the bios to default. See if that helps.

Your ram is kinda slow for your build, but it's worth testing it with memtest86+ outside of the Windows environment.

How much space is on your SSD's?

What windows power profile are you running. Try changing it to 'High' performance and see if that helps.

You can also try disabling/enabling hardware acceleration in your browsers, see if that helps.

Finally toggle on/off Windows game bar, again, see if it helps.

What does task manager show when the problem occurs?
