Hi guys, I need your help as my pc has been stuttering by where the computer will freeze every other second until I restart. Usually when I restart my pc it will not happen again as long as I do not go afk and let the pc hibernate. I was told to change my psu as my friend had the same problem but it has not made any difference. Please help, thank you.

Specs:

Gpu - GTX 670

Psu - Corsair CX750M

Motherboard - Asus P8Z77-VLX

Ram - 8Gb

Cpu - i5-3570k 3.40GHz

Hard drives - two 500gb

Operating System - Windows 7

This is what I would do but I'm no expert.

Take everything out of the case apart from the bare minimum and start the pc. 1GB ram and the like. See how it goes.

If it works start adding bits back until the problem comes back. You should have your answer.

If the problem is still there with 1GB of ram swap it for another.

If the problem is still there swap out the GPU.

Go from there.

Nothing to see here - move along.

I had the same issue some time ago,just way worse(it would freeze all the time,no matter what).It seemed to be some corrupted Windows files.

Have you tried booting into safe mode?Was it OK there?

A very easy and simple way to find/correct courupt windows files is by using the built in SFC scanner.

 

Open a command promp as Admin

type in "SFC /SCANNOW" 

let that run

try removing things one at a time and running the computer between each removal to see if the stuttering is still there replace the item and try the next component. granted there are some things you cant test such as Mobo, PSU, hdd etc the critical components but ram, gfx, add on cards can all be tested.

Does you HDDs go crazy just after stuttering? It could be bad sectors on HDDs.

I think I have found the problem to my stuttering issue. I just need to fix it. So far I bought a cheap £30 CPU to test and the pc was working fine no stutters until the next day after installing, that is why i'm now buying a motherboard to test and if it is not that then I will send it back and I guess it will be the cpu...  I will also test the i5 in the new motherboard to see 100% what it is. thank you for your help and I will let you guys know if this fixes the problem.
