Random audio/video/mouse stutter [Windows 8.1]

Hey Everyone,

Recently I've been having some weird issues with my audio and video stuttering randomly. Sometimes it happens when I open up a website, sometimes when I open up an application. There's nothing in specific I can do to reproduce the issue, it just happens randomly and often.

At first I thought it was an audio/sound card issue, because it happened when I was listening to a song on spotify, however after some testing that doesn't appear to be the issue.

Just for reference my system specs are: 

Processor: I5-2500K O.C. @ 4.0 GHz
GPU: EVGA GTX 680
Mobo: Asus P8Z68 M-Pro
Ram: Corsair Vengance 4x4GB
Sound card: Asus Xonar DSX 7.1

I'm not really sure what the issue was. A few ideas were it was related to sound or my harddrives. Perhaps it was slowing down because something was loading? But for it to occur this often, it seems odd.

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Every time it happens I check the Application event logs. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
2. I've ran a Disk Check on all 6 of my HDD's. No errors found.
3. Verified and reinstalled my audio, video drivers.
4. Made sure I had the latest windows updates
5. Ran a SFC scan.

All without success.

From some google searches and other threads, I've noticed people posting their LatMon stats. I'm not really sure what these are used for, but here are mine. Hope they can help. These are from about 30 seconds of running the program, about 5 minutes after a fresh reboot (once all of my applications have loaded).

Latency Mon results: Pastebin.com

Edit: Here is a video of the issue occuring. It happens at 7 seconds in. The issue is hard to hear because I filmed it on a potato. Screen capturing didn't record the issue.

 



Also I'm not sure if this is somehow related to my previous stutter issue/crashes? They seemed to be resolved before by reformatting, but I can't be doing that like once a month: Game Audio Crackling (and crashing) - Constant Static buzz

Thanks in advanced!

I gotta ask. DO you use any maintenance software like Auslogics Boost Speed, Ccleaner or anything like that? 

I've used CCleaner in the past yes. Shouldn't really affect this though considering I've reformatted my PC 2 weeks ago.

I'll give that a shot tonight.

 

Sorry for the delayed response. I wasn't following this topic and for some reason did not receive notifications.

Temps are normal 30 celcius idle, 50 under load

 

Memtest ran solid for 1 pass (I'll give it an overnight run today)

Yup, nothing there either. I doubt I'd have a virus within 2 weeks of formatting. I've never had one in the past ~5 years afaik. I'm guessing its due to interference between components or something...
