Games stuttering every 1 second

[OnionRings]

I need help, desperately. I had posted before about my problem and @Endermandid his best to try and help me but together we couldn't fix the problem, I resorted to RMA'ing my GPU and I just got the new one back today after like a 2 week wait, I plug it in, boot up a game, and to my huge disappointment, I'm still stuttering. This is no normal stutter, its frequently every 1 second and it wont stop, I've done so much stuff and I'm just so frustrated I can't figure this out. I did BIOS, drivers, cleaned the whole PC, checked wires, tried different wires, I'm at a loss of words, can somebody please help me please... I cannot swap parts as I have no backup parts, the only thing I have that is a backup is a PSU, I have my old CX430 that I never managed to sell, but im afraid to try it because it sat out in the hot summer heat for multiple hours during a yard sale.

 

Edit : Things we think could be the problem.

More ram : doubtful, but possible.

New PSU : also doubtful, as I have a seasonic, which is a good brand, but possible.

Bad monitors : also doubtful, because the problem persists on both, no matter which I try, and which HDMI chord I use, but weirder things have happened.

My guess : Bad motherboard or PCI-E slot.

The PSU will be fine.

 

I suspect ram.

 

Make sure your cpu reaches 100% at full load or you might wanna rma your mobo

Yea everything gets at load fine, I don't think its the motherboard. I don't have 50$ for another stick of ram right now... I could buy a 4GB stick in April and take out the 8GB stick, just run the 4 and see if its fixed, 4 however is not enough for me to game and stream on.

Check the CPU issue i stated.

How is your ram usage in games? 8gb is pretty much the minimum now for gaming - i have 32gb and regularly see 11gb or even 14gb usage

Around 70-80% give or take depending on what game I'm playing, how many chrome tabs are open, ect. Usually 74%

Id bet you need another 8gb stick - is it like this in all games? 

[WkdPaul]

can you take a screenshot of the "perf" tab in the task manager, both idle and when a stuttering game is running???

 

if you could select the memory and hard drive that would help.

 

something like that (but select the memory instead of the CPU);

Gears of war 4, fallout 4, dragon age inquisition is what I tested. But the thing is, it wasn't this way all the time. When I got gears 4 on launch october 2016 it ran fine on my 370 on medium graphics, got my 480 in December and it ran ok for the first month then just recently I moved and suddenly its bad. But the PC was wrapped safe in like 5 blankets so it didn't get damaged or roll around, I cleaned it all out....

I would take everything out and reseat the lot. Try it in on a bench removed from the case and try again

Re-seat my entire PC, like build it from the ground up? I can do that if I must, lets wait for wkdpaul's response first, see what he suggests.

[WkdPaul]

just opened the link, let me check and come back to you

ofc. You can take it out in like 20 mins tops. Just make sure its a nice flat surface, preferably on rubber mattings. Check CPU cooler mounting, re-fit the ram and refit the GPU then connects the PSU cables. 

 

I cant see the picture due to limitations on works system, can someone tell me whats happening with ram, cpu, drive and GPU utilisation please

[OnionRings]

dunno if this will work

[OnionRings]

Can you click that? I tried to make the screenshot into a clickable link

[WkdPaul]

yeah got it.

 

Could you try disabling the virtual memory, reboot and try again?

 

Let me know if you need a step by step to turn off the virtual memory, I have one on hand!
