Computer stutters when actively using more then one program

[TychoVI]

My computer start stuttering like crazy without reason. When I for instance am playing a lightweight game and watching a 1080p youtube video.

When I Just play the game or just watch the video everything works smooth and there isn't any lag at all, but as soon as I try to do anything at the same time. (Even only having notepad++ and a browser window open) everything starts stuttering like crazy. The weird thing is, my CPU and GPU usage barely go up (max 10%).

I'm running a Ryzen 7 1700 + Evga gtx 1080. There is no thermal throttling and about a week ago everything was running perfectly fine. There are also sometimes periods when it isn't even there but then after about 3-6 minutes it starts again.

Uninstall drivers with DDU and install the latest ones from the Nvidia website.

No idea if it's gpu related but it's worth giving a try.

I'm assuming you're using at least 2 monitors?

What PSU and mobo?

 

As said, DDU all the things and also try a driver rollback

you could also try and revert to a earlier recoverypoint in windows

Maybe a ram issue, how much ram do you have
