Experiencing Extreme Sound and Cursor Stuttering

[PapaPP]

Hello friendlys, I find myself posting on this forum far too often due to my never-ending PC issues.

My build:

MSI b450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC

Ryzen 5 3600

16gb 3200mhz

275gb ssd (Taken from old build), 4TB hdd (Brand new)

2070 Super

So My issue started where I was having strange booting instances that I found uncomfortable. The reason was found to be that my bios was in legacy mode, and not uefi. So I converted it. All was well, and then I noticed a "System Reserved" with a drive letter, next to my two other drives. Being the horrible perfectionist I am, I wanted to get rid of it because it was an eyesore. Yes I know, I am in a never ending cycle of "If it isnt broken, then don't fix it." I didn't delete the partition, rather I just removed the drive letter. Turned out that caused some issues, which started the stuttering and lagging in anything, even just browsing on the desktop. I initialized the System Reserved partition again with a drive letter, restarted the computer, and it seemed alright. I must also add that after I removed the drive letter, the PC was having a hard time restarting, and was taking long periods of time to restart.

After it actually restarted, it seemed alright. Even restarted it again to make sure, and so it was. And then my dumb self said well let's try to remove some junk shall we, so I installed the IOBit software and ran a scan did whatever it suggested, turned it off, turned it back on, and boom all of my issues were back.

I tried resetting Windows while keeping my personal files thinking it would help, but it didn't. It was acting the same as described, which is not the way a fresh install of Windows should be acting. So now at witts end I am trying a TOTAL reinstall of Windows, where I use the media creation tool to completely remove everything and start fresh hoping it will work.

 

Sorry for the rant, but I would really like some insight because I put much money and work into this computer and I am most certainly not letting it go down the drain. Is there something better I could have done to prevent all of this? Is it an issue residing in the conversion from legacy to uefi? Please give me your insight.

how old is the ssd? i've never had the issues you are having messing with files. do a test on the drive if you can. what brand ssd is it? they usually have a software that will check if all your settings are set up correctly for the ssd.

I've had it since about February in 2018. Not too old. Here's a video showing how bad my mouse is. No audio but it's buzzing away.

did you try flashing the bios, and testing the ram?

Bios is fully updated, and no I have not tried the ram yet. It was working perfectly fine when I first got it about less than a month ago

An example of the horrible audio buzzing I was talking about. Does anyone know what to do at all?

I figured it out. Created a USB drive with Rufus to install Windows 10 with an ISO allowing UEFI and GPT and did a full reinstall and have no issues whatsoever.

And this is your fix? Installing new system and don't worry about real reason? Good luck then - if you'll have problem with your car, I recommend to buy new one and check if is working good.

Yes, this is the real fix. and No, I know the real reason now. I did not install Windows to be formatted correctly for UEFI. It was installed in regards to Legacy; so when making the conversion it did not take it well. Therefore, properly installing Windows with the correct foundation was it. That was my fix. Read before you type.

Legacy or UEFI installation doesn't affect sound or anything like that. But ok.
