this just states all the problems i listed, am i just being stupid to rush ahead and say its a motherboard problem? is there any tests i can do to rule out the motherboard before I start buying random stuff for no reason.

Yes .

Play the game offline no stutters probably network lag .

Reinstall windows and update drivers many times I've done this and it's fixed problems, could be corrupted file but which one or a plethera of other things but don't start replacing hardware beforehand, at least a fresh install will give you a clean starting point


You've been chasing this for years by you own admission

Is that generated by AI? It is too vague and I don't find it helpful.

I'm getting lost in this thread for what we have already suggested, but I would prioritise the following:
- Install and run CrystalDiskInfo so that we can check the SSD is in good health.
- Check for symptoms of the fTPM issue (very well known with AM4 systems like yours).
- Check the event viewer for events with a timestamp that is close to your experience of significant lag/stutter. This could give helpful clues of issues we have not considered yet.
- Change the ports your devices are connected to (USB 2 / USB 3), to try and include the advice about resource sharing that relates to the error.
- I would personally also disable and/or uninstall RGB and motherboard software, since it is known to cause hiccups with the CPU.

Suggestions that cost money:
- A replacement ethernet cable, especially since yours doesn't seem to be in good condition.
- Alternative ethernet chip, preferably a PCI-E card rather than USB.
- A basic wired keyboard and mouse.

Replace the motherboard is VERY far down my list of potential solutions and would be expensive and challenging for a novice.

do i need to do anything specific or just the picture is good?

I have no idea what fTPM is I will take a look at this tomorrow.

Unfortunately to check for the stutter during my game it will have to be thursday. thats when it happens most during the raid in my game. i will post back again with even viewer results and timestamps.

I will also change the ports tomorrow of what I have plugged in.

Only software I have is logitech hub for my mouse. I used macro's and stuff for specific game, along with dpi setting.

I want to thank you for your time. I will post again tomorrow or perhaps thursday with updates. Appreciate the help!

This specific game is online only. I don't really play offline games unfortunately. I will wait until thursday and see if the game stutters again and I will consider the option of a fresh install. Thank you.

From what I can see, it is fine. There are zero errors being reported, which there would not be if the flash was going bad.

I have no idea what fTPM is I will take a look at this tomorrow.

If you have AMD's integrated TPM enabled (required to install Windows 11, unless you have a hardware TPM) it can cause stuttering (not just in games either). I believe AMD have said that they have addressed the issue, but opinions vary.

I do agree though, that a reinstall of Windows, with new drivers (especially chipset) and other software is a good idea.

USB issues were also common on some AM4 boards with an early BIOS, if you have never updated it.

Is there no single player game you could just use for testing? What about a multiplayer game where you play with bots?

We could really benefit from trying to remove the Internet from this issue, because otherwise it makes it way more complicated to diagnose.

Sounds fine, in theory.

I tried to search this up. my system doesn't have it enabled. https://imgur.com/a/OXP8jJj

As of now it's just one game that stutters. The game is very old and not optimized very well so I'm going to go ahead and say it's just that game that stutters. All the other games I play have the lag/delay, when it happens next I will report back. Just difficult to run tests offline etc when the problem isn't currently happening.

I have never updated my bios afaik. I remember building the pc and just installing windows. I'm always afraid I'll mess something up when I change bios stuff etc. I'm hoping it is the internet because a motherboard problem is just a pain i hate it.

Stutter/lag reports are super common and the fixes can be all kinds of weird stuff, from: "I turned the microwave off!" to "I stopped watching football during raids", so my own opinion is that any kind of hardware changes are a last resort, especially since if you can't be sure what the problem is, it might just be replicated with the new PC (we see that often too, on forums like this).

I see, okay.

Cool! That rules that one out.
