Windows 10: Why is my Win10 PC doing this intermittent stutter?

I just reinstalled a fresh USB copy of Windows 10 on my Alienware Aurora R9 PC. Only installed one game and MS Office, but I have noticed that every once in a while, the machine goes into a state of what I can only describe as "stuttering", where it acts as if some heavy process is going on in the background that slows everything down to a halt. The mouse freezes but the machine continues operating, although bogged down. if there is sound playing, the sound comes out in stacatto, like it's underwater, and then suddenly everything reverts to normal. These episodes last about 4-5 seconds and hap

Bluetooth stuttering since Win10 2004

Since updating from Win10 1909 to 2004 my Bluetooth sound stutters about twice every second, making it impossible to use.

Tested on Bose Soundlink and Bose 700. Accomplished is the stuttering by another sound in the same speed as the stuttering, this sound stops a few seconds after the music playback stops.

- Tried forgetting and re-pairing my headphones several times

- Tried turning off hands free telephony and/or remote control in control panel for my headphones

- Tried turning sound enhancements on and off

- Tried an extension cord to move the Bluetooth dongle farther away from the computer (no onboard Bluetooth available)

- Tried the Bluetooth troubleshooter (always finds something, never says what, never fixes anything)

- Changed the WIFI settings on my router (2.4GHz/5Ghz), even turned WIFI off in router. My PC does not have WIFI at all, no card

- Searched for new drivers (Windows: non available, Manufactor (http://www.iamotus.com/product/277882694): Use Windows Update to get new drivers)

- Could not check to change the audio settings to CD standard (44.1Khz, 16 bit stereo) since it is grayed out and only allows 48Khz, 16 bit stereo

- Since it was mentioned here in a now closed thread as a solution from time to time, I do not have a bluetooth mouse to disconnect. Actually the Bose is the only device conected via BT at all.

The stuttering happens with every software, and both the Soundlink and the 700 work fine when connected to other devices (including Win10 1909).

And it worked also fine on this same PC yesterday before it updated to 2004.

Any suggestions?

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
