are you sure its a msi 940a-g43 and not a msi 970a-g43 i couldn't find a 940 Mobo...

 

if you overclocked your Cpu you need to take the overlock off again its most likely that your VRM overheating and to safe them you mobo is downclocking your CPU to take some stress and heat off of them.

Do you have cool n quiet, C1E and turbo boost enabled in the BIOS? I've fixed stuttering by disabling those.
