Is my processor broken

[TYB_Nick]

Hey guys I've been having some issues with my pc lately. It will suddenly hitch or stutters as if it is lagging during regular gaming usage. My system runs a windows 10, Ryzen 7 5800x3d, msi 3070, an AM4 gigabyte motherboard, and 64 gigs of ddr4 ram @3600mhz. I've updated the graphics drivers, tried a different gpu, and set of ram. I'm at a loss for what could be the issue. I believe it is CPU related but do not know how to positively tell. I attached a clip of the issue (yes this is a playtest game but it happens in other games like couter strike, fortnite, the finals... pretty much everything I play.) Changing the game's settings does not seem to make the stuttering any less frequent. It does not happen while using regular non-intensive desktop applications. Any tech-tips on the issue would be greatly appreciated!

How are your temps? It could be hitting its maximum temperature and thermal throttling.

What Power scheme settings are you using?

If you're using Balanced mode then try the High performace mode instead. It might help, but it'll also draw some more power.

 

It can also be other drivers causing it than the usual GPU drivers. Have you updated the chipset drivers?

 

Do you have alot of USB devices connected? Try removing everything except the mouse and keyboard.

 

How high is the disc usage during gaming? Is it at 100% all the time?

Have you looked in the event viewer?

 

Did you recently turn on TPM/secure boot?

How much free space is there on your drive?

Reminds me of internet lag or page file swapping/loading assets.

you should also check audio drivers.
