Hello, thanks for the reply.
I used malwarebytes to check out about viruses, it was a free version, but after reinstalling the windows now i no longer have it. I will post the other things in a bit.

You are welcome but can I ask that you do not quote every reply as we have to read the full post to make sure nothing gets missed, thanks.

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Computer type: Desktop
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Installation Date: 4/6/2023 1:30:19 PM

Windows is shown to be a recent install and unfortunately as so often happens the process has not been done correctly.

Once Windows has been clean installed you must then install first the MBs chipset drivers, then the storage/SATA drivers and third the graphics drivers, the drivers can either come from a disk provided by the motherboard manufacturer or downloaded from their site and saved to a flash drive etc, this is a must and Windows should not be allowed to check for updates before it has been done as more often than not Windows installs the wrong drivers or in the incorrect order and this can cause all sorts of problems.
RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4 @ [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]1066MHz

Ryzen CPUs do not like slow RAM so you need to enable XMP in the BIOS.
KINGSTON SA400S3 SCSI Disk Device (SSD)
Interface: SATA
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Capacity: 111 GB

This drive is way too small to accommodate Windows, you need a minimum of a 256GB to allow for all the missing/forthcoming updates and moving to Windows 11 when Windows 10 support ends in 2025.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

[HEADING=1]I have reinstalled windows without drivers, and i have them on my USB-Drive. The drivers are from:

https://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/fatal1ty%20b450%20gaming%20k4/index.asp#Download

https://www.amd.com/en/support[/HEADING]
What i have downloaded is the next:
-GPU Amd-software-adrenaline-edition(lastest RX 580 GPU driver)
-Amd-ryzen-master
-Chipset(v2.11.26.106)
-AMD_StoreMI
-Realtek_LAN(v10023)
-RAIDXpert2(v9.2.0.120)
-MotherboardUtility(v3.0.413)
-Floppy(v9.2.0.120)

About the Ram, i had the ram to XMP 2993 which is most stable before the reinstall(when there was still stuttering)

And the last thing, i have i installed the windows on my M.2 which is 111GB, i thought it’s best coz its the fastest one on my pc.

I have reinstalled windows without drivers

When was this ?

Based on your hardware et the moment the only drivers that you need to worry about after clean installing Windows are the AMD chipset driver ver:2.11.26.106 no others are relevant.

The RAM is zero to do with any stuttering and to avoid it compounding the issue the RAM needs to be allowed to run at the speed that the CPU works best with.

No point in having a fast drive that is too small, once you get down to around the 35GB of free storage space range you are looking at data corruption.

The drivers and the RAM speed you must deal with now but the small SSD can be done in the next week or two.

If after increasing the RAM speed and correctly installing the chipset drivers the problem still occurs we need to know when exactly the problem happens, online gaming or even just siting on the desktop with no internet connection etc.

It was on 4/6/2023. I have downloaded the drivers and i have put them in the Flash Drive, after installing the windows without internet connection i have installed the drivers, and I think i started with the GPU driver first then everything else. Also when i had the other windows it was running 2993 full speed, and the stuttering was in games only.
Also where do you suggest to install the windows, on which drive exactly?

[Peharis]

I have enabled XMP, seems like the stuttering in games (csgo) is worse now after installing windows with my own drivers, from the website’s i have sent you.

As per my replies 20 and #22;

Regarding your last post, no point in going any further until ( A ) you have clean installed Windows and ( B ) installed the divers in the correct order, AMD chipset first and not the GPU drivers.

Try doing a reset from within Windows choosing the keep nothing option, then while disconnected from the internet install the chipset drivers that you have saved, turn off the PC, reconnect the LAN cable, restart and install your storage and GPU drivers and see how things go.

Not around for a while now so no rush on my behalf.

I reinstalled the windows, and i have installed it on my SSD which is 200GB. I have enabled XMP profile and i have installed drivers in order > Chipset > GPU > Other ones. The stuttering is still there.

[phillpower2]

The stuttering is still there.

While doing what exactly.

[Peharis]

While gaming, CS GO on low.

[phillpower2]

Which requires an internet connection.

Not a gamer myself so not much help when it comes to FPS but over the years through helping people I have found that when it comes to online gaming there are three things that hinder gaming, a poor internet connection, browser security plug ins and using VPNs, sort them and you are usually good to go.

Something for you to do to see how your present set up handles video when not online gaming;

Use the free versions at the following links;

Stress test your GPU with Furmark

Check your FPS etc with SUPERPOSITION

[Peharis]

Here is the result from the test:
There is no stutter while doing FurMark test, the GPU is 100% usage.
