Windows still behaving weird

[ItzChimp]

So a few days ago i asked about my system behaving very weird.

here's the post: 

 

Someone made a great suggestion to install the drivers manually from my motherboard manufacturer and from the AMD website. After a little bit i got it to work properly so i thought the problem was resolved but no, i still have the same issues. 

 

Does anybody have an idea what it could be and maybe have a fix for it?

Thanks.

As of my knowledge, either you had installed a wrong driver or a hardware issue with your graphic card. Most of the old laptops are having this graphic card hardware issue. I faced it earlier. You should not tried that "driver auto installer". Eventually, my solution is, uninstall your all the drivers and then turn off the 'driver auto install' option in Windows, then install the driver once by one from its official website. If you could find the drivers then we'll help you find the driver, please let me know about it.

Sometimes its not a GPU or driver problem, sometimes its storage.

 

What do you have your OS installed on?

 

If you're confident that your storage is fine I suggest doing the following to have the best fresh setup possible:

 

1- Bios reset to factory and UPDATE (very important)

2- Install a fresh copy of windows and let it install the drivers it automatically gets.

3- After windows is finished, install all drivers manually from AMD & NVIDIA. (I'm sorry but from my experience Driver tools are not reliable don't use them.)

4- Then go to Device manager and update all important components' drivers.

5- Try to install the bare minimum software. (You don't need things like "Speed Boost" and "Driver tool" software.)

6- Tweak you system performance from the bios and set your power management to maximum performance to make sure your system is getting all the juice it needs.

 

If that won't fix it I will 99% be a hardware issue. If that's the case I can try my best to suggest proper hardware troubleshooting.

 

Try this first and keep me updated.

 

Good Luck!

Where can i find the drivers that are installed and how do i uninstall them?

Once i've uninstalled all the drivers do i just tell windows to find the drivers for every piece of hardware?

I have a MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI motherboard with a ADATA SX8200 Pro 512 GB SSD installed into the slot right above the first

PCI-e slot. That's the drive i have windows installed on.

So you're suggesting to reinstall windows? because that's something i have been thinking about doing as well but i'm wanna try to keep that as a last resort if there is nothing else i can do.

Use Autoruns to check what programs starts with your system.

 

Use Task Manager to check what tasks uses your resources.

 

Of course reinstalling should be your last resort. Don't do that.

Don't uninstall all the drivers. Uninstall the graphic driver only from the control panel and then uninstall it from the device manager as well. After that, turn off the option “Device Installation Setting” Please see the following animation how to do it. Then reboot your computer once. After that, download the driver graphic driver from its official website and install it.

I went into device manager and updated all the devices in there. there was only 1 driver that needed updating which was a USB-C driver. after that i went and did all the steps you gave me but still no result. the problem is still here.

 

i have noticed that when the problem is active a program called 'system interrupts' is very high in terms of CPU usage and when the problem is away it doesn't. could that maybe be an issue?
