AMD build stuttering

[Coye]

A week ago I upgraded my PC from an FX-8350, crosshair-v formula z, slow 16gb ram to the following

2700x (stock speed)

Asus strix B350-F

Corsair vengeance 3200mhz 16gb

Going to flood with a bit of info to give as much insight as possible

 

Did a clean install of windows 10 and ran the asus suite to let it OC for me. Installed a couple games, destiny 2 and the recent anthem demo. Both ran fast and smooth, as did the OS. But I had a couple of issues at first. Occasionally the games would either close out at random or would freeze my entire computer. The only way to reset was to flip my psu (850w) switch off/on then boot back up. After that, programs began to freeze my computer. I would launch Ryzen Master or AI suite and my computer would freeze and would have to repeat psu reset. I reset everything to stock in my bios and made sure all drivers were current. Ran the bios update inside the bios itself via internet and ran the chipset driver update (18.10) for b350 motherboards so I'm fairly confident all my drivers are up to date, even my 980ti driver update that released today. My computer seems to be stable but the current problem I am facing is constant stuttering in video as well as as sound for both my OS as well as games. Audio will crackle when stutter hits, video will stutter every 2ish seconds and mouse will stutter when moving across screen or in a circle. So far I've done the following to try to fix the problem

 

-Made sure all drivers are up to date

-Disabled mobo rgb lighting/re-enabled

-Set processor speed back to stock

-Lowered RAM speeds from 3200 to 3000, 2933 and have left the bios on auto select which sets it at 2133

-Tried one stick of RAM at a time and swapped

-Changed power settings in W10 to bother balanced (ryzen) and high performance

-Turned off fast boot in bios, turned back on after I didn't see a change

-Updated windows

 

I have noticed that when I go to device manager and look at my current driver for the 2700x it says it is in version 10.0.xxx despite my amd chipset update telling me I am in 18.10 so I don't know if that has anything to do with anything but I have done most things I can think of short of reinstalling windows. 

 

Any suggestions are appreciated and let me know if more information is needed. I want to see if this is fixable before I play replace one component at a time and see if that fixes it

Have you updated the BIOS to latest?

I've heard several, almost enough to say many, reports of the AI Suite being the source of the problems.  Have you tried uninstalling it yet?

Is the PSU new? It actually sounds like an electrical issue, as you're getting static through audio as well.

 

I'd recommend swapping for a different PSU if you have one to try.

 

Also try running a HW monitor and make sure fans are spinning (CPU and GPU) as Ai Suite made mine default to 0 no matter the temps unless I turn it off Auto.

Thank you for the suggestions. Turns out it was the AI suite. I uninstalled but still had to do a reinstall of W10 to fix what it has been running stable now for a couple of days.

auto overclock settings suck, always, but they're just there to bloat the BIOS setups

 

plus you don't even need to OC a 2700, there isn't a single modern game that can't run on it
