Question Windows stuttering almost on idle (sudden GPU spikes in Task Manager when moving cursor) ?

Hi!
After 1 month of investigating I needed to post a thread on what's happening.
So I installed RTX 4060 Ti GPU to replace a Radeon one and something strange is happening.
Everytime I start my computer it stutters a lot and is almost unusable, I have to restart several times for it to not stutter anymore (it just completely disappears after some restarts) and everything works like it should.

I replaced the PSU a week ago to a bigger one (750w) in case the problem is not getting enough power but no change to the situation.

I've tried everything like removing and reinstalling all drivers with DDU, disabling fast boot in bios and fast startup in windows, I have all windows updates and gpu drivers are latest ones, I'm monitoring all temps and everything seems fine, I have even changed my RAMs to new ones and my cpu so the problem is not there, i have updated my BIOS to latest. And last but not least I fresh installed my windows...

There is some of the things I've done and i hope someone has some idea what is happening and how to fix this. I have read all forums having no success at all.

PC Specs
Mobo: Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X3D
GPU: RTX 4060 Ti
RAM: 16GB Hyperx 3600
PSU: Asus 750w

Thanks for yall!

Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer for any error codes, warnings, or even informational events that precede the stuttering.

You can also use Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) to view what the system is doing or trying to do when stutters occur.

Use Task Manager and Resource Monitor (use both tools but only one tool at a time) to observe system performance. Leave the tool window open and viewable so you can see what changes when the stuttering occurs.

It may take a bit of trial and error to work out what to watch - use the graphs as a starting point.

Another suggestion: manually download, install, and configure drivers via the applicable manufacturer's website. No third party tools or installers.

Be certain that you are truly at the manufacturer's website. Just because the manufacturer's name appears in the link/URL does not mean that the website is the actual manufacturer's website.

Lastly, consider that there may be some loose connection. Does not tighten up until the overall system has gotten warm enough to cause expansion that, in turn, temporarily tightens the connection.

Power down, unplug, open the case.

Clean out dust and debris.

Verify by sight and feel that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are fully and firmly in place.

Use a bright flashlight to inspect for signs of damage.

Sure! Here are a few quick steps to troubleshoot your GPU stuttering issue:

1. Check BIOS Settings: Ensure they're optimized for the new GPU.
2. Confirm Power Supply Cables: Ensure all are securely connected.
3. Monitor Background Apps: Use Task Manager to see if any are causing issues.
4. Adjust Graphics Settings: Lower settings in games/apps to test.
5. Verify Compatibility: Ensure your motherboard and GPU are fully compatible.

I hope this helps!
