Computer has been working fine for over a year now, however a few months ago when I moved the mouse constantly it would freeze for a second every 4-5 seconds. I noticed the swirly logo that spins around when you boot windows 10 was also stuttering. This eventually went away but i'm noticing some seriously annoying lag in games (mainly CSGO) They updated the UI for csgo so i initially thought it was that but i've been having stutters in other games.

I've thermal'd the CPU
Removed CPU and GPU overclocks
Updated bios
Reinstalled w10
Replaced nvme m2 SSD

i've uploaded a video of it occuring in Kingdom Come Deliverance
pls help
 
Sorry was just typing it up, it's below. I was wondering if it's the 8GB ram but I never had any problems prior to these issues?

Intel i5 7600k
msi z270 gaming pro carbon
GeForce GTX 1070 Quick Silver 8G OC
Samsung 970 EVO nvme m2
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4
Corsair CP-9020103-UK CX Series CX650M ATX/EPS Semi-Modular 80 Plus Bronze 650 W
 
What is your display setup?

asus vg248qe 144hz DVI

it's weird you mention that... when i have my other 1080p monitor plugged into the GPU too window dragging is choppy af. apparently this is from having 60hz running with a 144hz? I unplugged my duel monitor and window dragging is really smooth now, it's just ingame, a harsh lag spike will occur and it's like the gpu is trying to catch up
 
Yeah there seems to be an issue with using multiple monitors at different refresh rates that nvidia cards don't like that does cause stuttering in certain apps or games.

Since you've ruled that out hopefully someone else can suggest some troubleshooting steps.

Have you checked to see what if anything is running in the background?

Have you tried updating/reinstalling/rolling back the GPU drivers?

Sorry I can't be of more help. These are the obvious things that come to mind.

Maybe you can use a system monitoring tool to observe and record what happens when you get the stutter and if its your gpu or cpu getting pegged.

With that system i see no reason why (assuming nothing is faulty) csgo wouldnt run smoothly. Its hardly a demanding title.
 
One other thing that might work as a short term fix would be setting the power profile in windows to performance.

This wouldn't eliminate the underlying cause of the problem however.
 
it's set to performance, didn't help much, i've even tried reducing pagefiling etc. just starting to think defective hardware, read on another forum people were having trouble with this card a few years later


I reinstalled w10 would that rule out anything running in the background? the ram is usually at 70% when gaming, GPU hits 100% but i'm geussing that's normal for some games.

I think it's worth a shot installing old graphics cards, i'll try this tomorrow. seems so inefficient though :(

attatched some fps drops, it was roughly 10 minutes of csgo gameplay, maybe someone can chime in and see if there's anything sinister regarding the clocks etc
