    I've been experiencing this type of problem more recently, including how my games and apps been stuttering more often sometimes. And once in a while, it will stutter, freeze up for a few seconds, go to a white screen and then close itself out. This has not only happened there too but it also happens when I click the search function when I boot up my computer too as well. This has gotten frustrating for me lately and it's driving me crazy. This is my saved dump from the Event Viewer as of last month if you want proof: Items Shared on 5-8-2025I tried the following solutions:- Closing and disabli

  2. Stuttering Every Two Seconds

    Every two seconds I get a stutter, the mouse freezes and then jumps forward. Audio stutters, games stutter, everything stutters very briefly (on the order of milliseconds) every two seconds.

    This happens every two seconds like clock work. It happens on windows, it happens in browsers, it happens in games.

    I've tried updating all the drivers I can find. I've tried a System restore to last month even though the problem just started today. I've tried closing out of programs and disabling various tasks.

    I've tried various checks and all come back clean:

    • sfc /scannow
    • DISM.exe/Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    • CHKDSK /f

    Please help!

  3. PC Still randomly freezes for a second

    So I have linked a community forum down below that was mine for the previous question I had with all the hardware in my PC and a couple of steps I have tried in fixing the problem. None have worked thus far. The latest problem is that it will randomly do the bugging out where it will freeze for a second and then come back but now My speakers will randomly buzz like old TV static until they are unplugged and replugged back in.

    THINGS I HAVE TRIED:

    Revert GPU drivers to older more stable versions.

    Revert Intel System Component Driver back to older version.

    Make sure all drivers are up to date.

    Uninstalled Crosair iCue software

    Uninstalled Armoury Crate software

    reset bios

    I have no idea what could be causing this problem. The PC works absolutely perfect when other than the random freezes and bugs. But its obviously annoying when it does this freezing.

    My computer Stutters/Freezes for 0.1 second every 1 second

    2 days ago I had installed a nvidia driver update (version 535.98) after that while playing games, making games in unity or watching videos my computer started to stutter for 0.1 seconds every 1 second. Thinking this was a problem of driver I have installed my old nvidia driver which is 3 monts old (version 528.49) and it is still happening.

    The stutter is wierd too. Its not a complete freeze like I can move my mouse fine. But most things get a split second freeze. To give some examples:

    Games that I play stutter

    Games that I make in unity stutter

    Google chrome stutters (like while writing this some letters come to screen later some animations like closing tabs stutters)

    Youtube stutters by loading every second (my internet is fine this didn't happen before)

    Visual studio studders while writing code

    But things like spotify music or writing in a note pad is completely fine (Spotify stutters while scrolling or moving through tabs. Makes no diffirence for music)

    The other problem might be the empty space left in my ssd. I have a 1tb ssd that has only 45gb of empty space right now. But the last game that I downloaded was about 4-5 days ago so this problem didn't come from this I think.
