Audio Crackles/Pops + Stutters (Especially when using the Internet or Photoshop)

[psdcollin]

My computer is being a pain. It stutters randomly for about 15-30 seconds sometimes. This happens at least twice an hour. This is especially relevant when I’m attempting to use the internet while I am also using Photoshop.

I recently had a brand new SSD installed into my PC as the bootable drive, however, my older SSD which came from a separate rig that has all of my graphic design stuff is in there as well. I’m mentioning this as some research I’ve done says this could be a driver problem, but I do not quite understand how the default drivers are giving me issues.

Specs:

Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2tb (New SSD)

SATA3 1TB SSD

Nvidia GTX GeForce 1660 Super

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G

MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus ATX AMD Motherboard

Team T-Force Vulcan Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200

OS: Windows 10

I have been running LatencyMon while a smaller stutter/pop episode occurred. Here’s a screenshot of that: [MEDIA=imgur]7RgrMjr[/MEDIA]. Let me know if there are any additional programs I could use to monitor that may be useful in helping solve this! Thank you so much

Others may have more to say…

I recently had a brand-new SSD installed into my PC as the bootable drive.

Did you install the drivers starting with the chipset in the proper order?

this could be a driver problem, but I do not quite understand how the default drivers are giving me issues.

what is meant by default driver?

Where did the drivers come form?

The SSD was installed by an actual computer business and I’m assuming they did it in the proper order. By default, I meant I hadn’t gone out of my way to update anything through the device manager so they were likely using their native version. My graphics driver is the latest one offered by NVIDIA (from GeForce Experience).

See if a Clean Boot makes any difference.
