For the last 2 months or so my gaming pc get micro freezing.

example is when I open a video, does not matter on what harddrive in micro freezes my pc.I also get it in games.

It only starts happening after the pc was on for a while. Lets say I restart my pc now and open a video for the next hour or so I won't see it. Also playing audio in the background to see if it stops the audio as well , audio still plays fine during the freezes.



If its freezing I uninstalled the graphic driver then reopen the video without restarting and the freezing is gone. Installed uptodate RX480 drivers still the same issue. Tested the card in my other system it worked fine for days.

Also if you want to know what I mean by freezing I open the video while its opening I drag my cursor across the screen the cursor will freeze for a second then unfreeze then freeze for the second time.Then the video starts playing, It happens in games, and gif's on websites but not on youtube.

Restarting pc solves this for a while.

Uninstalling driver aswell. I kinda need it.

This is on windows 10


I dunno what to try anymore
 
May be indication of HDD failure, the OS drive has issues it would affect all other drives, in that copying data to and from the drive cache to memory and to pagefile.

Also thinking that or some faulty ram, I might swap out some ram then get a clean OS installed,
 
Are you using any temperature measuring software? like HWMonitor or any GPU temperature and fan curve setting.
Software for your peripherals can also cause it (corsair, razer etc.)
I think give yourself a format, i had micro-stuttering and a format pretty much solved it all.

I have msi after burner and my logitech software running with overlay from msi afterburner.


I have this idea that format is going to solve the issue, yea. I have clean drive that I can load OS on but think I am just going to wait for my 500gb SDD been holding off getting one, I hate formatting

Possibly same as this: https://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/881388-ESENT-Errors-windows-10
 
I have seen strange things with a failing HDD as well. Other than very slow transfer speeds, the rest of the system also exhibited what you were talking about.

Copy stuff to the drive and see how it behaves?

Also check your bios for thermal/fan profiles. Was helping a guy sort out his micro stutter issues a few days ago which he's had for a long time and the issue turned out to be the profile setup in the bios. Some fresh thermal compound might also help.

Did a drive check copied and everything 100% still not going to roll it out, second all temps stay in safe ranges.

I will update after I got it fixed or formatted

Thanks every body for the suggestions ^ might be bloody windows 10 update as well
