Major stuttering issue on the desktop and other places has started.
Major stuttering issue on the desktop and other places has started.
Hey! I recently assembled a new desktop a couple of weeks back and it’s begun stuttering quite a bit. It happens in both gaming and regular tasks, with stutters spaced roughly one second apart. Here’s what I know about it:
Hardware: i5-13600K, ASRock 790M-ITX, WiFi BIOS 3.04 (also tried 2.04 and 1.21). RAM: 32 GB Teamgroup, 5200 MHz DDR5, EVGA 3070-Ti with Deepcool, 750W, 1 TB Samsung 970 Evo. OS: Windows 11 Pro.
Performance data was gathered from testufo.com focusing on frame times. The main issue is noticeable stuttering across all scenarios, with no clear pattern in timing.
Things to observe: No part of the system is nearing thermal or clock limits. Storage capacity appears normal. All components are present and seem to be set up properly. The Task Manager doesn’t display major problems.
What I tried:
- Removed all overclocking settings in BIOS.
- Reset BIOS completely.
- Disabled non-Microsoft services via System Configuration.
- Swapped the EVGA 3070 Ti for an ASUS 3070.
- Updated drivers and installed Windows.
- Tested different HDMI cables and used another PC on the same monitor.
- Checked the PCI-E port for damage.
- Restarted in safe mode with networking.
- Ran page file reset and disabled it.
- Started from safe mode with networking.

Since 1.21 two BIOS versions have been released. Start with the first one. If it doesn't work, consider the beta version.
I've tested both versions now, currently using 3.04 without any improvement to the stuttering problem.
Tjmax indicate melting points, not operating temperatures. Start fans at 100% at 60°C; in BIOS adjust cooling if you exceed 75°C despite 60% usage. Maintain XMP settings, avoid overclocking, manual CAS offers no benefit—use Auto. RAM specifications are unclear. Consider stock clocks on the CPU for better efficiency. A cheaper PSU would help. Running stock clocks could improve performance, though it's a joke about Eco CPUs. These are new-gen processors not designed for gaming. Check BIOS, strip out "green" features. No Pagefile aids gaming; no suitable simulators fit under 28GB RAM. It won’t harm your SSD or NVMe drives. Your goal is reducing PC latency—use a latency tester or monitoring tool first. Windows 11 is still in beta; disable auto-updates for testing.
And my components are in the 40C range when this stuttering occurs (or like 60 when gaming). Again, no thermal or clock limits are being reached. Again, no thermal issues. My BIOS is currently completely default. My BIOS is currently default. I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude, but is there any attempt to be helpful here? You clearly didn't read anything that I wrote. As in no power saving? I can try that but I hesitate to spend the time on it given the complete lack of relevance of everything else that was said. No pagefile was a potential troubleshooting tip for the massive stutter I'm experiencing. I'm not trying to improve my gaming experience here, just to achieve a working setup.
Did you run MemTest? https://www.memtest86.com/ Another approach would be to test with just one RAM stick (try a few) Did you examine the CrystalDisk for potential storage problems? When performance slows down, look at the memory section in Task Manager and check for unusual CPU use, storage access times, etc.
I don't recall the exact method used initially, but it seems the fix involved turning off Intel LAN 1219-V.
