PC Stuttering on boot or under load

Hey all,

 

Recently either on cold boot or when in high intensity gaming [Eite dangerous at max graphics for about 6-7 hours] my PC begins to stutter or lag. On desktop my wallpaper engine animation slows to about 15fps my audio out and input lag, games become unplayable with a constant frame stutter and drop of about 25-30 frames. I've looked around and I believe it's the PSU beginning to fail as its about 6-7 years old now but I just wanted confirmation before having to spend £100+ to replace it with a good quality 750/850w power supply. Is ther anything else that could be causing this? Specs listed below.

 

I recently upgraded my PC:

 - W10 professional with license

 - Ryzen 3700x (new)

 - Nvidia GTX 1070 (old)

 - samsung evo 750 500GB SSD (Old) W10 installed

 - Samsung evo 850 1TB M2 (New)

 - MSI MPG Gaming Edge Wifi X570 (New) Bios updated to 7C37v17

 - NZXT Kraken X53 AIO (new)

 - Corsair Vegence RGB Pro 32GB (2x16) 3200mhz (new)

 - Corsair 1200AX 1200W modular power supply (very old)

You got one of the worst x570 boards (thermals). Underload your board will get very hot and you might get stutters because of that

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Did you reinstall Windows after upgrading your CPU?

Check temps and clock speeds with Ryzen Master, and make sure you're running the latest drivers.

I've been monitoring temps with hardware monitor and its been fine, it occurring on boot kinda takes away from it being thermal throttling. Also if thermals was the problem when the load was removed and things cooled down it would return to normal where as I am having to hard reboot the system when it occurs. 

 

I updated all drivers on installation of the board but I have not reinstalled windows as it was working fine before upgrading.

Thank you I may have to consider sending it back then and buying one of the better ones.
