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: . 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

So other can assist let get a speccy report.

Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

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

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).
