Hi everyone, ive been dealing with this issue for a couple months and its frustrating af. Even on super light games like Stardew Valley fps drop to 1-4 for like 1-2 seconds every so often, it usually starts of slow and the stutters get worse with time. Ive tried the obvious things, updated drivers, scanned for malware , optimization, checked ram usage , temps were fine, updated BIOS, cleaned the insides, and i dont recall much more.
My specs are: Ryzen 5 3400g
GTX 1660
Ram Adata Premier 2x8GB 2400 Mhz DDR4
430W Thermaltake Smart 80 PLUS White
SSD 240GB Western Digital Green
HDD 1TB Seagate BarraCuda
Motherboard Asrock A320M - HDV R4.0 AM4

I had blue screen issues in the past along with stutters, i found out my processor + motherboard combo was having issues for a lot of people, this was fixed by downgrading the BIOS and for a couple months there werent any problems. Im kinda clueless on what to do, my friend who knows a bit more suggesting formatting windows but id like to do it as a last resort.
Thanks in advance for reading and feedback!
 
Hello nicochacin,

Couple of things;

The PSU is junk and should not be used anywhere near an add on video card, it can`t even produce 400W and is not even Bronze efficiency rated, your GPU needs 450W as a minimum btw.

Before the PSU completely kills it, remove the GTX 1660 from the PC until you have an appropriate PSU, short term you can use the present PSU for the onboard graphics but until you have a minimum of a good quality 500W Bronze efficiency rated PSU from either EVGA or Seasonic I would not risk your add on GPU using the present PSU.

Second thing is to ask what games you are playing.

Hey thanks for the reply! I kinda suspected the psu mightve been an issue , i didnt know it was that bad. Regarding games, lately mostly Stardew , LOL and occasionaly Cyberpunk. I also didnt know that the psu might fry the gpu lmao, ill have to pause on gaming until then
 
Each game that you mention there are the online type so as well as the poor quality PSU you need to check out your internet service as well.

You are welcome btw :)
