Simple question for a simple answer about Stuttering.

I have rmaed every component in my pc except for the ram and mobo aswell as the power supply. My pc stutters like crazy on occasion. sometimes multiple times a day to once a week. im tired of it. What should i replace first out of those three things? i have done about 4 Fresh os installs, installed all drivers, Nothing has worked, i am ready to do another RMA.

What occassion or program does it specifically stutter?

 

List all your computer components (including USB devices).

 

List all the programs you installed and using.

Just what component should i replace? I have already troubleshooted this. What component should be rma first?>

Well you clearly haven't troubleshooted it yet, otherwise you would know the root cause of the issue.

Nothing is causing it as i have rmaed everything and i only have the mobo and ram left to do.

How are you absolutely positively 100% sure nothing is causing it?

 

There could be a million things that is causing it and you haven't provided us with anything to be able to diagnose what is causing it.

 

Making an assumption is the biggest rookie mistake of any computer technician.

Man, I would change the PSU.

Why would you take the time to RMA most of your components when you have no idea why it's happening? How did the RMA's even get approved if you have no evidence of a product failure (physical or otherwise)?

 

Also, what are the actual symptoms? "stuttering like crazy" is an abstract way of stating a potential problem with any component. You need to be way more specific. Does the OS hang when doing certain tasks? Can you reproduce the problem consistently? How do you reproduce it?

 

If I had to place a bet on what is wrong with the system my first guess would be HDD/SSD misconfiguration, failure, or OS corruption based on "stuttering like crazy" symptoms. Of course that assumes your CPU isn't downclocking due to thermal throttling, improper C-states, voltage droop, etc. etc.

 

Do some due-diligence in trying to reproduce the problem and get some metrics on the system status when it is happening (clock speed, temps, active software, etc.). No one is going to take the time to try and help if you can't take the time to provide details of the problem.
