Yep sorry I'll get you a pcpartpicker list when I get home from work. Thanks for the help

For my hard drives? It happens no matter what hard drive the game is on so maybe not the problem

Even after a fresh install of windows?

GTX 1070 Intel i7 4790 16GB Ram Gigabyte h97 Gaming 3 Motherboard

Well I have been having it with No Man's Sky and 7 Days to Die aswell. Also in The Witcher 3. Just examples of when I first noticed it

So for a while I have been having minor stutter in games like CSGO and LoL but I thought nothing of it, it has gotten worse lately though. This problem has followed me throughout OS and through a new GPU so both of those are out of the question and I have run a diagnostic on memory and that seems to be fine. I am assuming my last options would be motherboard and CPU, neither I am particularly too happy about replacing :L Thanks for any help you guys can give.

How would I accomplish this?

I've just quickly played some cs with the hardware monitor up and I noticed my GPU1 usage peak at around 90% when the stutter happens. Also, my core clock is fairly inconsistent (not too sure if common or not)

Which section in Afterburner should I be paying attention to?

I am assuming I can just use MSI Afterburner for that?

Sorry, new to this forum I though that specs came in a flair such as on reddit. I have a Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming, an Intel Core i7 4790 (not k), 16 gigs of ram and a 750w PSU.

Temps are fine, running driver version 368.81

I am getting this very bad stuttering in all of my source games (HL2, TF2, CSGO, etc.) and I cannot seem to find the cause. What it does is, the game will run fine for around five minutes and then out of nowhere, the game freezes and goes back to normal within a second, but this can absolutely destroy you in competitive games like CSGO. I have gotten a new GPU recently and it is still happening so we can rule that out. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I have tried what every single person on the internet has suggested to run in fullscreen mode and I have tried lowering my settings all the way to low and it is still happening. I am not entirely sure what my next step should be but any help would be appreciated. Knowing me it will be someone responding with a simple fix like "change this slider" and I'll feel like an idiot ahaha. Thanks for any help guys! You're all awesome!

Works like a treat. Thanks for that

Awesome, I'll look into it. Thanks!
