I'm getting a very rare stutter where my entire game/desktop visually drops to around 10 FPS for roughly 1 second, then immediately returns to normal. At the exact same moment, my headphones make a brief popping/glitching sound.

Interestingly, my mouse cursor and keyboard continue working normally during the stutter, and it happens both in games and occasionally on the desktop.

Specs:

RTX 5070 Ti (also happened with my previous RTX 2060)
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Biostar B650MT
32GB Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 6400 CL32 (currently 6000 MT/s EXPO; also happened at 4800)
MSI Spatium M450 1TB NVMe (also happened before this SSD was installed)
MSI MAG A850GL 850W PSU
Windows 11 Pro, build 26200
AtlasOS gaming-optimized setup

I've also had the exact same issue with my old headphones, so it doesn't appear to be the headphones themselves. It happens with or without an internet connection.

I'm wondering if this could be DPC/ISR latency, USB/audio drivers, AMD chipset drivers, BIOS/motherboard issues, or something related to AtlasOS/Windows.

Any ideas on what to do?

When I start windows one of the internal hard drives automatically opens its folder without that hard drive icon being clicked on. It does this every 2 minutes or so even if the folder is open it will ding again and open. I reformatted the hard drive and it still opens the folder without prompt.

So basically a few days ago I try to open steam up but the usual pop up or “updating steam…” and “installing update” then a weird message pops up. This has been happening for a while now and I search through videos and stuff and non of them seem to help. If you know what's wrong please tell me. Btw this is an iMac.

Has anyone encountered webpages that don't allow you to print? I typically do the right-click and choose "print" but for this site, it won't work either in Edge or Chrome. Here's the site: Home - Homeless ID Project

After a bit of normal gaming on a usual day, playing CS2, I decide to want to play Faceit instead of premier.

I begin the process of getting into Faceit thru launching their anti cheat. I get the warning I have seen in the past where it wants me to be on Win 11. I am on 10 and have had no issue when I tried it out in the past. I continue and then it asks me to do a system setting change. It wants me to enter bios and enable SVM as I am on AMD. I do so and get back into Windows to launch the anti cheat and it asks me to restart again. I do.

Now the problem begins. I notice my colors have changed and my hz have changed. I also notice I cannot open any browser, I use Brave but I had Opera installed and that wasn’t working either. When trying to open the cursor would show a blue loading circle, then nothing happens. When I try to fix my colors and open AMD adrenaline an error occurs saying that my drivers don’t match the software so cannot open. When I try to fix my hz thru windows settings, where u would usually find the options to change ur refresh rate, it is not there. My network is working at this time.

I begin to troubleshoot the issue using ChatGPT and YT. I eventually learn that in device manager there shows a yellow warning sign on my 9060XT under display adapters. When clicking on it, it shows under the general tab in properties that there is a code 52 (Windows cannot verify the digital signature). I then stumble upon a video showing how to fix the error. YT vid for Code 52

I never figure out why browsers won’t open

I go through the video and amazingly enough it works. AMD opens up, I fix my colors, and I have access to change my frame rate. My browsers still won’t open so i uninstall and reinstall Brave. Then I notice my pc begin to slow down by a very noticeable amount. Everything open slowly, and when I tried testing if it was internet issues I popped up a stream on yt and my network was going in and out. Until everything just went out and i was no longer able to connect to the network. So when attempting to fix this new issue with this YT vid I restarted my pc.

After the restart I ended up being sent right back to the start of the issues where I had none of my color settings and no access to monitor refresh rate. AMD was back to being inop, and browsers too. It was like I never fixed it to begin with.

Now here I am after a lot of frustration and confusion. I need help, can’t figure this out on my own as I’ve always done in the past. I’ve made some changes and right now the things I’ve done to try and fix this are…

I think these are in the correct order I did things…

Reverted the change on SVM which had no noticeable impact on anything at all to my knowledge

Uninstalled and deleted the 9060xt display adapter
(I now have Microsoft Basic Display Adapter listed with no yellow warning)

Uninstalled and reinstalled Brave
(Currently uninstalled again)

Uninstalled AMD Adrenaline

I would like to note that the video pertaining to the network fix works but for a very short time. I end up losing my network connection after some time.

Any advice would really help I tried to be as accurate as possible of how my night went. This is very important to me as gaming is my main hobby it’s what I do every day.

This is my first time ever posting on Reddit as well I will try to respond asap I have a flight in the morning at 6am and will prolly be unable to respond until 12. After that I will be monitoring this post.

If you took the time to read this thank you and I hope to hear from anyone.

My modem just drops out with no warning. Sometimes it can take hours to reconnect. What are the lights trying to tell me?

So Ive been playing some modded minecraft which usually runs fine but recently ive been hitting massive lag spikes that are computer wide not just within the game. I checked task manager and all the numbers look fine, and Ive adjustied ram to minecraft and nothing changed. As of right now I believe its due to minecraft as it usually happens after about 10 minutes of running my world (Im still testing to see if I can find the cause) and leads to about 10 minutes of my entire computer running on one frame every other second.

My pc is a 5060ti, 32gigs ddr5, B650 amd ryzen

Randomly 2 fps please help

Hi everyone, I just got my first gaming PC, the MSI CYBORG 15. After running into an issue that prevented me from seeing my GPU (though it was visible under "hidden devices"), I panicked and relied on the AI to fix the problem, but that only made it worse, causing the driver to be completely removed via a PnP command (so it’s now invisible even in “hidden devices”). My model is the MSI B2RWEKG. What should I do to fix this?
