About: I am not much of a gamer anymore except for some "classic" games with a couple of newer titles and dipping my toes into newer games to check them out. So dropping a lot of money on a new gaming rig was out of the question seeing my old gaming system was a lemon out of the box. So I saw a nice ASUS FX505 DT. Specs: 1.5TB SSD (1tb ssd + 512gb ssd) Ryzen 5 (3550) Geforce 1650 (4gb) 16GB ram The issue: No matter what I'm gaming, a 90's classic or a modern marvel I get "lag spikes" or "stutters" where my framerate drops to that of a slide show presentation. It seems to happen about every 30 seconds to every 5 minutes for about a good 10 seconds of non stop stuttering. It "feels" like it's a background process doing it but I can't seem to see anything really using any resources that could cause that spike. Temps, despite being a Ryzen system are within their limits. Operating System: Windows 10 with the "latest and greatest" updates. I "downgraded" from Windows 11. All drivers are up to date, I went through each one and made sure just to rule anything out. Bottom line: This will be my last Asus product, it's been a "desk queen" i.e. never taken anywhere yet despite being treated like royalty the screen has the dreaded "ASUS screen" where the bottom half glitches out and turns black. Performance wise when not stuttering has been fantastic and has surpassed my expectations. I've done everything I personally can to try to resolve this issue. Even running a malware scan. Would anyone know what else I can try before I give up? *Edit* Windows is installed on HD1, games and others on HD2.

What game are you actually playing right now, and which settings are turned on? Is the resolution set to a specific number, or is there any kind of adaptive sync like VRR running? Please tell me all that stuff.
