frame drop and stutter help

[davewatts]

i have been fighting this for a couple of days now. I have a ryzen 3600x with 32gb of 3200mhz ram a gtx 1080 and windows and my games installed on SSDs.

 

monitor is a xg2402 so just running 1080p 144hz. basically all games are showing this same issue the past month or two and doesnt matter what i set the graphics settings to i still get bad frame drops and render latency that bounces between 8-15ms. docp is set for the ram and all temps are low

 

this video is from destiny 2 on all medium setting at 1080p

Well after multiple reinstalls and random crashes that had me convinced I had a dying gpu after fresh window, new SSDs and multiple other things. The was a small hair in the ram slot..... Extremely intermittent crashes and would pass ram tests until yesterday. 

 

It failed a couple ram test so I tore the computer down and cleaned it expecting to buy new ram. I used my USB microscope to just check the ram slots and seen a hair. Pulled it out and reassembled and have had 0 issues so far
