PC Stuttering Randomly

[LuX_]

So about a month ago I upgraded my computer from an I5 to an I9. It worked perfectly fine for a couple of days and then started stuttering randomly during games and while idling and just moving the mouse around. I fixed it this time by updating my Bios as I had an over voltage error because I have a 9900KS and my motherboards bios was dated before the launch. PC has been fine for quite some time now and just recently in the past couple of days the stuttering has returned. Windows is up to date, NVIDIA drivers are up to date and my bios is up to date.

 

When I play MW I have it running at 144hz and it dips down to around 132hz. But when it dips its like one of the frames fully freezes for a little bit. I also have my CPU and GPU times displayed and I have noticed that when it stutters my CPU time goes from 4ms to 5ms-6ms. When it stutters my audio also has a hiccup too. It also happens in GTA V but i dont have any stats for that game. I had my task manager up and looking at my logical processors and one of them seems to jump up to around 80% usage when it happens while running MW. I know its not a thermal problem aswell as I used an application to monitor the temps while I was gaming and they were very low temperatures.

 

Here the things I have tried and tested:

1. Used the ram diagnostic tool to see if it was my ram

2. I have trend micro and ran a full anti virus scan

3. Reinstalled windows since rebuild and reset windows once

4. Reset CMOS multiple times

5. Disconnected my hard drive and only booted with my SSDs

6. Ran crystaldisk and everything is good

7. Disabled windows Game bar overlay thing

 

Problems still persist. I hate to say it but I'm at the point of taking it into a computer store and getting them to fix it  

 

 

My specs:
CPU - 9900KS (Triple Fan thermaltake AIO water Cooler)

GPU - MSI 2080 Trio 

Ram - Corsair Vengence 32GB 3200Mhz

Motherboard - Asus rog maximus xi hero

SSD - 240GB Kingston

M.2 SSD - Crucial 500GB

HDD - 1TB Baracuda

I also have a PCIE Wifi card and Elgato HD60 Pro

As you can see I got the same motherboard as you. In BIOS -> Tool - Go to Asus Armoury crate and disable that.

 

I had a similar issue on both my rigs using 1080ti and 1060 -> reinstall windows using newest ISO: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

install windows 10 in offline mode (don't connect any network cables or wifi)

Stay offline when first entering windows. Disable automatic driver installation: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/disable-automatic-driver-downloads-on-windows-10

Install every driver manually - motherboard drivers from motherboard support page.

I can recommend this nvidia driver: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/154342/en-us

 

Edit: I forgot to mention a guy had similar issue yesterday, and above fixed it:

Hi thanks for the reply. I'll definitely disable Armoury Crate. With the automatic drivers will that impact any of my peripherals?

Nope - if you run a driver for keyboard and mice, you can just download that seperately

I was reading through that other thread and ran the test they were discussing before I went through the hassle of another windows install and this is the result I got from that latencyMon. It was running perfectly fine until a stutter happened and then it crapped its self. I have disables armoury crate but it does seem to be a driver issue as you mentioned?

I think I have discovered my issue. I am running a fairly old and cheap WIFI card (Asus PCE-N15). I turned off WIFI and my computer ran like a gem and LatencyMon showed now issues at all. I think its time to upgrade my WIFI card.
