System experiences frequent lagging across all components.
System experiences frequent lagging across all components.
I switched to the AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D, ASUS TUF B650-E Wifi, and G. Skill Flare x5 with 32GB RAM recently. I've been experiencing frequent system-wide stuttering, especially in games like CS2. I've updated drivers for the GPU, chipset, and BIOS. I also performed a fresh Windows 11 installation. I've tried turning on and off features such as Precision Boost Overdrive, EXPO, and Global C-State Control individually, but nothing helped. I'm getting really frustrated. Can you assist?
Do you have the complete specifications for the system? Could you clarify if you're referring to any stuttering or post-video effects?
I understand your situation. You also have the 7800x3d but are using the Asus 670e-e motherboard. Setting the BIOS to default will give you a starting point. Also, don’t stress about losing your mind—your backup on tape is safe. If you need to revert, just recall what you did with the tape and consider getting rid of the player. Just setting the BIOS to defaults can help if the fix doesn’t work.
My system details are listed below. A video was attached showing performance issues across different applications. The recording covers the period from July 15, 2025, 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM. In-game performance is smooth with good FPS, but suddenly it stutters and becomes unresponsive. On the desktop, lag appears mainly in mouse movement and when opening programs.
You’re using two older mechanical HDDs, but it’s unclear whether games or Windows are installed on them. Plugging either into the system can sometimes lead to problems. Check the health of both HDDs with Crystaldiskinfo or another reliable diagnostic tool, and also test the Sandisk SSD—especially if it’s older. It’s a good idea to inspect all drives in the system. A practical test is to temporarily disconnect both mechanical drives and observe if performance issues disappear. If they do, either drive is likely faulty; continue testing your Windows boot drive.
