Hi everyone

About June I finally decided to upgrade to a Samsung 960 EVO from just a 1TB HHD, and had a Lan party coincidently, The SSD only arrived during the Lan so I decided to wait for afterwards to install the SSD and reinstall windows. I installed it and played a few games but sadly had to mostly stop gaming since we had a insanely buy term in front of us. After it was done about last week I decided to go back to gaming. I noticed that Bf1 had a few frame drops as well as GTA, then started looking into things and played around with a few settings but realized it wasn't just a few games it was all of them having micro stutters and Frame drops including Assetto Corsa. I have spent all week going through a ton of forums and trying out tests and tweaks to windows 10 even to reinstall it again, playing aroud with the overclocks but nothing seems to have solved it. I have some recordings of before the install showing it playing smoothly. Im at the end off my whits here and help would be greatly appreciated.(as a side note the lighting on my K95 stutters as well as when the stutters occur) Also my temps are fine and ran a mem test and checked out fine.

Thank you
Paul

Can you borrow a PSU from someone?

Also did you update your BIOS and did all the Windows Fall update and indexing whatnot that other sites suggested?

Unfortunately I don't have a psu i can borrow, might make a plan about borrowing one from a shop or something, updated the bios as well as the firmware on the gpu. Did everything suggested in windows like power options, appearance and registry edits and at this point struggling to find more things to do
 
Does it stutter as well when you run heaven benchmark?

Also, did you set your power plan to high performance from balanced while gaming? I know the creators update caused micro stutter on my system when gsync was enabled. Setting my machine to high performance solved it.
 
I'll run Heaven quick, and did indeed set it it to high performance mode
 
So I ran Heaven and ran the benchmark twice and on the 2nd run there were 3 hiccups that i noticed throughout the run

Device manager, IDE ATA/Atapi controllers, update driver, browse my computer, let me pick from a list,
select standard SATA, restart

Did it just now and I went to the drift server on Assetto Corsa and because the server only had 6 people in it now there were fewer stutters, but still there, just ran uniengine and the stutter are still there as well

Allready did everything is running at stock speeds now.
Tried running BF1 on stock speeds and the framerate is horrible, dips to 30 and doesnt go over 55

Ran memtest86 and it checked out fine, also tried reseating everything
 
If I Google it the main thing that pops up is to clean install Windows 10 Creators Fall update.

Did you run something like CrystalDisk to see if your SSD is running at full speed?

I'll Quickly download and run that, also did a full reinstall of Windows 10 twice now.

So just ran it and all seems okay
