Strontium

All my games started to stutter overnight with no changes to anything, hardware or software wise. Already tried ddu, uninstalling the chipset driver (which helped previously with a similar issue). Specs Ryzen 7 1800x Gtx 1080ti ftw3 16 gb ddr4 3200mhz cl16 g skill flare x crucial p1 1tb bequiet 750w straight power 11 gold. I monitor everything closely via afterburner osd and no changes appeared from yesterday in temps, or else besides that after initial boot today afternoon, first time using the pc after yesterday, the stuttering appeared when moving my character in game, and was likely caused by huge drops in gpu usage After reinstalling the driver w/out ddu some gpu statistics disappeared, usage frequently dropped to 0% After uninstalling the chipset driver nothing changed After uninstalling the gpu driver with ddu and reinstalling it normally afterburner reads everything correctly but the gpu usage still drops when I move the character in game, causing fps drops and stutter. Now for the real mystery: The benchmark scores are nearly the same as normal i. e. 110 avg fps in world war z benchmark, stable fps in heaven and all that. Any stutter that occurs, occurs in game, when moving the character or in the menu by moving the mouse. This issue is familiar to me, back then it sufficed to remove the chipset driver but I've already tried that this time. What could've broken overnight like this? How do I fix this?

This is absolutely frustrating. My asrock motherboard seemingly broke after I completed the build. Before I had done that though, I have tested it outside the case for a good half hour with no issues. In that time I have updated the bios, and even run a few games. All of the components were fine. Now as I boot up the pc, it freezes on the bios splash screen. After clearing the cmos it freezes on the " uefi deafaults have been loaded" screen. The keyboard is unresponsive, even though it does get power, but only until it is unplugged from the usb slot. After it is unplugged it doesn't get power anymore. I don't know what to do. I find it unlikely that the case shorted out the motherboard as all the standoffs came preinstalled and I took special care not to scratch or bump any smd components on the underside. How can I even diagnose this? What do?

Everything works fine booting once. The next time no post, always. Only posts if I insert the card into another slot. First time im seeing this both irl and on the internet. Help? Everything works fine on a different motherboard and I have the newest bios flashed.
