Before starting this post, I put this exact thread on the LTT fourums and no one could figure out the issue, or people just gave up on it I don't know, so I decided to come here because the issues that I've been having effects OSU the most.
I've built this PC around June of 2017 and here was the parts list:
Ryzen 5 1600
MSI A320 Mother Board
16 GB of Crucial Ballistix Ram 2133
Zotac GTX 1070
WD 250BG SSD
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Cryorg H7
Corsair Carbide 100R
EVGA 450B PSU
You know a pretty good PC, but when I finished installing windows and installed all the drivers and what not it was horrible. I stuttered in literally every game. (Aparently there was a dirver I was missing for the first few months the AM4 drivers.) After installing that everything was a lot better.
But it wasn't perfect.
There were a few things that would happen with this PC:
- There would be a 1/20 chance when opening file explorer it would say "working on it for about 5-10 seconds" before actually showing my drives.
- YouTube would SKIP frames and stutter (especially on my second monitor) and for what ever reason on my second monitor if I try to forward the video by one second, it would give me a loading pinwheel for about five seconds, even though it has CLEARLY buffered the video. Doesn't happen all the time though.
- On OSU, (mainly in song selection and edit mode) it would skip frames and stutter, and would be most noticeable from the timeline on top of the screen when it's automatically playing the song.
- In League it would skip frames, it's not too noticeable unless you are really looking for it so it's not too bad but it's quite annoying.
- If I try to stream league my frame rate drops drastically, so I just quit that.
- YouTube thumbnails would take a second or two to actually load rather than it loading instantly.
- For what ever reason Minecraft is just a stuttering mess for the first like 3 minutes (idk I don't play that much but enough to mention it.)
- And simply micro stuttering on most games that I play on occasion from steam.
Here is what I've tried:
- Swapped out Ram for something that was on the RAM compatibility list for my motherboard (I didn't know that was a thing). Switched to Corsair Value Select that was on the list and didn't fix the issue. (Also started to make my PC blue screen after a month I got it so that ended up as a DOA.)
- Swapped out the motherboard to a GIGABYTE GA-AB350M (ended up keeping) and that didn't fix the issue.
- I reinstalled windows to different drives so see if that was the issue and booting of off them. That didn't work.
- Disconnected other drives except the windows one.
- Someone mentioning that my PSU wattage was too low, so I ordered a Corsair CX650M, nu-uh. (Kept it though it looked nice.)
- I knew it wasn't my GTX 1070 because I got it before everything else so I installed it in my old PC before I got everything else and it wasn't giving me any of these issues.
- Bought a i7-7700t and a B250 board (I know my mistake should have gotten a different chipset) and even after THAT it didn't work.
- Removed the 1070 and used intel HD graphics (didn't have a spare card) and that didn't work.
- I've switched modems between both my new and old PC's and that wasn't causing the issue.
I've literally replaced my entire PC and it wasn't solving my issue, temps are not the problem, I've installed windows a million times after trying each attempt, I know my RAM is a bit slow but it shouldn't be causing these kinds of issues where it struggles on WINDOWS. Help me please I think that's everything.
