PC Randomly Stuttering

Which suggests that it is a problem with Chrome.

If it happens again, because it hasn’t happened since going through that internet guide, I’ll see if I can reproduce the results without chrome open.

Well I can confirm it’s not a chrome issue at this point, I’ll keep trying to see if I can get a good view at task manager while it happens. When I open task manager right after it stops, because I keep forgetting to leave it open, the cpu usage is usually coming down from 50% so I’ll try to catch it at 100%.

please Download Process Hacker and screen shot the item that is taking up the memory.

Next on the process that is causing the large CPU usage right click on it and select properties.

Then go to the services tab. Screen shot the services appended to it for me, with the Snipping Tool.

I finally caught a stutter, not a freeze, in task manager and it was windows defender spiking my total cpu usage up to 50%, at least when I was able to look. Before it did that I was at below 10% while just browsing chrome.

So, one thing I noticed today is that when I turn my fan on, the actual fan in my room not my computer, my mouse sometimes flashes green. Not sure if that could somehow make a difference in anything but that seems very odd. The fan is also in a completely different socket than my computer.

Sounds like a wiring issue. Is your PC and peripherals connected to a UPS/battery backup?

It’s just connected to a normal power strip, also sorry for the late reply I didn’t get the notification for this message. My phone kinda does that sometimes.

So the weirdest thing just happened. My E: Drive - The WDC Hard Drive talked about previously. It just disappeared and I rebooted and it came back. Is this something I should be worried about? Possibly could it be related to my issues, still trying to witness a freeze with task manager open btw.

I finally caught a freeze and it looks like the problem is my gpu. Discord somehow was eating up 95% of my gpu, which I know is not true at all.

[joshyjames]

Any thoughts on this? GPU dying or some other factor? I find it hard to believe my GPU would fail this quickly, it hasn’t even been 2 years yet.

How did you determine this.

How did you determine this.

It happened when chrome wasn’t running.
