Question CPU Stuttering in every game I play if I have any Youtube Videos on/background processes
Hello,
I have spent the last month trying to fix this issue to absolutely no avail and I could use some assistance.
Whenever I play a game, and open up a web browser to watch youtube (Which my build should 100% be able to do.) The game or browser, or both begin to lag like im playing on a computer from 1967.
My CPU cores all look fine, except for the e-core (CPU32) which whenever it hits 100% is when the stutters occur.
When I say stutter I mean Cyberpunk max graphics 144 frames, down to 1 frames for 1-20 seconds, then back to perfectly running.
Specs are the following.
Intel Core 19-14900k Raptor Lake 3.2ghz
MSI Z790-P Pro Wifi Intel LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 65GB (2x32)
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070ti Windforce
Samsung 980 Pro SSD 2TB m.2 NVMe
ASUS TUF Gaming 1000 Watt 80 Plus Gold ATX
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste
This is a brand new build, done just before Thanksgiving and have had this problem since installing Windows and my games.
I have done the following.
Enabled XMP
Updated BIOS
Made sure GPU Drivers up to date.
Ran SFC /scannow
Turned Gsync on, and off.
Re-Installed GPU Driver via NVIDIA Site
Checked Drive Health
Disabled Hardware Acceleration/Scheduling both in Windows and on the Browser.
This happens in super demanding games, and games that are not very demanding at all.
Temperatures are completely fine during these freezes, nothing out of the ordinary.
Please help me fix this, its completely ruining my interest in PC gaming at this point after 15 years of doing it.
Discussed the thermal management of the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste. Inquired about the temperatures being monitored during performance issues. Checked if the BIOS was updated and verified the CMOS was cleared after flashing the BIOS. Asked about the source of the operating system installer and whether it was installed offline.
Hey Luf.
I'm using a Lian Li AIO with an extra fan setup. It keeps happening no matter the temperature—can occur at 50°C and 80°C, but it seems more likely when the game is running hotter. For instance, it rarely affects my gameplay in Cyberpunk, though the browser does lag. However, on Monster Hunter Rise it causes severe lagging of both the game and browser.
I’m not sure if I replaced the CMOS battery after the update. I plan to do it tonight.
The installer came from Microsoft’s site and was installed offline. After that, I added the network card driver and managed to keep going.
I’ll be testing a different network cable tonight to check for any patterns.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks.
