Hello! I've been having this issue since updating my PC to 7700X and 7800X3D/4090 eventually.

The issue: every 15 or so minutes my games stutter, frametime spike goes up to 90-110ms; GPU usage drops a few % lower, but not to 0. It happens in CS2 and Apex Legends. It even happens when I don't play the game and stay on the main menu. I've tested Titanfall 2 which is also on source engine and it didn't stutter there. Yes. I also had this issue when I had 7700X. It doesn't happen in other games.

Apex Legends in the main menu

What I have tried:
— Reinstalling Windows 11 / drivers
— Switching to 1660 Ti
— V-sync on/off in Nvidia Control Panel
— Updating BIOS
— Updating VBIOS
— Disabling CPU undervolt
— Disabling Xbox Game Presense Writer
— Making sure to set only 1 wallpaper so it doesn't change
— Testing RAM with memtest86

Full Specs:
M27Q, 1440P, 170hz, G-sync compatible monitor
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Asus ROG STRIX 4090
Asus B650E-E
Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 1200W Platinum
1x SATA3 SSD
1x SATA3 HDD
2x M.2 NVME SSD(Game is installed on an M.2)

If anyone knows how to fix this annoying shit please let me know :)
