Microstuttering during normal usage

Hey folks,

I've recently started getting stuttering when using my PC. I first noticed it when running games, but now that I know I can see it happening everywhere - even when scrolling down a page.

 

Running Prime95 also causes it to return.

 

I've done a fresh install of windows.

I've turned off XMP for my RAM - which seemed to make the issue worse - and manually sat the speed of my RAM from anywhere between 1333mhz to 2400 (which is the listed speed).

There are no abnormal temperature spikes when stresstesting or running games.

 

Do you guys have any ideas what might be causing this?

 

Specs:

CPU: i7-4790K

Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 7

RAM: 16GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX Beast

Graphics card: EVGA GTX 1070ti

PSU: Corsair AX860i

Okay so bit of a strange update..

It seems to only be happening when I have Netflix or Amazon Prime Video running.. with YouTube it's okay. 

 

I've officially lost track and have no clue what's causing this. If any of you smart people do, please let me know.

Is hardware acceleration enabled in chrome?

 

See here, they have similar issues seems part of DRM

It is.

Netflix and Prime video themselves dont lagg - rather, every second there's a slight freeze in everything else.We're talking less than a ms of interference but it really messes with aim etc when gaming.

I notice frame drops when doing this too, and YouTube doesn't.

 

Netflix for sure seems to use GPU and that could cause for/smoothness to suffer.

 

Try disabling hardware acceleration?
