Weid freezes for no apprent reason

[savedan]

This has been going on for a few months now and I cant figure out what's wrong with my pc no matter what I do, I don't even remember when it all started anymore.

If I start a game, download something, or anything thats drive intensive, my computer turns extremely slow, even if the task manager would implicate that  nothing in my entire system was remotely under stress, to the point where I can see my cursor teleport around and if I have any audio playing, it becomes for a lack of a better word "torn", as if every other millisecond the audio was paused.  If I'm on discord apparently I am quiet for a while and then suddenly everything I've said is played back extremely fast. Thing is, it cant be my drives. I have an SSD, 2 hard drives and now also a m.2. Originally I thought it could be my SSD's fault, because I've had it for a while and I thought maybe its screwing windows over somehow, so I got myself an M.2 and moved windows onto that, but It didn't help at all. My roommate guessed, that maybe my 16GB of ram were the issue, now I have 32. Nothing changed. 

Now the most bizarre part. I have a wired Gbit internet connection, so when I download something, my internet isnt the bottlecap. I remember getting insane download speeds some time ago. Nowadays If i start downloading something right after I boot up my pc I will get a download speed in the neighbourhood of 25 Mbits/s, which isn't bad, but my system should be capable of achieving speeds a lot higher. If i start downloading something after my pc has been on for a while, Ill be getting anything between 400 Kbits/s - 1 Mbit/S. 

I don't see any rhyme or reason at this point, so any pointers would be much appreciated, thank you.

 

These are my specs:

Ryzen 7 3800X - not overclocked

32GB DDR4 Crucial Ballistix 3600 MHz quad channel

Asrock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac

RTX 3060 - not overclocked

Corsait TX550M

Samsung 970 Evo Plus - windows installation, new drive

Crucial MX500 525GB SSD - Quite old, was a part of my first build, practically empty at the moment, but it runs the few games I have on it just fine.

2 HDD - one 1y/o, other one about 5, both are used as mass storage for video mostly, both seem to be working just fine. 

Windows 10 64 bit

Cooling isn't the issue either, never seen my CPU over 60 C, drives are also cool

The BIOS version is "American Megatrends Inc. P1.10, 09/06/2020"

How high is your cpu usage?

Never seen it reach 80%, while downloading something chilling at 25-30%

Is everything up to date? drivers, OS, etc.?

Checked for updates on both multiple times, that isn't the issue.

If all your BIOS, firmware and hardware drivers(like chipset) are up to date, is your Windows updated with all the recent patches?

 

Is your hardware acceleration ON?

 

And is your Windows boot drive not almost full?

Windows is up to date, hardware acceleration is on, boot drive has enough free space on it.

You think hardware acceleration could be behind it?

I don't think it is the hardware acceleration. Since it is ON and you do not have any video playback issue mentioned. But mostly related to internet connection. 

 

Do you have a VPN that you can run connecting to "Fastest Server"? If you do have? Try it and see what happens.
