PC Hitches/Freezes few seconds after entering desktop

Natkiio · 21 Jul 2021 at 22:04

Hi all! So my pc does this weird thing where it lags/ hitches when I enter the desktop from starting up the pc. So when I’m moving my mouse around after a few seconds the pc will seemingly freeze or lag. It’s noticeable as my mouse hitches completely. I’ve tried reinstalling drivers, different mice, unplugging the second monitor, changing thermal paste on the CPU. It stops when I’m in safe mode. It’s been happening on two different processors and 2 different GPUs. I’m really stuck as the what it is. Thanks for reading any help is appreciated! I first noticed it when I got my new CPU and then I tried my old CPU and it happened on that one as well.

Are you saying that it freezes for a few seconds until the desktop is loaded, or that it freezes permanently?

I enter windows and after a few seconds, it just freezes for a few seconds. Everything is loaded before it does it

Is the mouse plugged into USB3? Try a USB2 port.

It's plugged into a usb2 port. Plugging it into a usb3 port doesn't help unfortunately

What's the spec of the PC, old and new CPU?

Has it always done it or just started with the new CPU?

Setting in bios, something like "Legacy USB"?

I first saw it when I installed the new CPU (ryzen 3900x) then i put in the old one (3700x) and it happened on that one

In safe mode theres no problem then it would seem to be software releated, do you have an M2 drive check the firmware.

it was happening before i got my M2 drive
