PC likes to stutter a lot for no reason

RaceT3ch · May 23, 2024

Hi guys, I have a relatively okay system with a Ryzen 5 5600 and a Radeon 5700 XT, but it seems to stutter a lot doing whenever. (Eg Minecraft, browsing etc.) I can't find the reason why it's causing it. It's either caused by my GPU or CPU, what should I do to find out the problem?

Check BIOS version? There were (and some report, are still) problems with earlier version of AGESA, due to bug in fTPM code that AFAIK exhibits as lags and stutters.

LatencyMon should also give you the name of the drivers/kernel modules/whatsits causing the stutter.

ermm i suppose everything is up to date, bios, drivers etc...
atm i can think of ssd could be the culprit... are your ssd's full? check their health...

there is a program you can use to check for spikes in games... i cant seem to remember.... maybe other members can shine a light

Nah I checked on crystal disk, they're all above 95%
I also used AMD adrenaline to pick up the micro stutters

I use version 1.2.0.7, is that a problematic version? Latest I can use is 1.2.0.B according to Gigabyte
Also addresses LogoFAIL problem if that matters, I don't know what that is.

Looks like it should be fixed in that version? LatencyMon should still give you an idea, though.
