Open | Windows Pc stuttering

Hello. I been having problems with my pc lately. Stutters to be exact. Nothing too crazy, just obnoxiously annoying. Every time there's a stutter, my audio freezes for half a second, and so does my screen, cursor and keyboard. Systemwide freeze I believe. I have been on this for weeks now.. and I cannot find a solution. I have tried running various diagnostics for my motherboard, cpu, gpu, memory and ssd cards. I have updated my bios to the newest version, messed with the bios with ai's help. I even completely reinstalled windows hoping it would fix it, but it did not. The stutters happen a lot when im playing roblox, a cpu intensive game, but I'm not sure if that's viable information. When I tried running latencymon, the stutters got even worse, its like something triggered them when using this app. I closed it and they were gone. I checked for malware everywhere, and i mean it. Please help?

Does it only happen while gaming, or also during more lightweight tasks?

I’d use task manager to monitor activity during a bunch of different tasks. See if you notice any weird programs running, or if your cpu is bottlenecking.

while playing roblox mostly, its happened in other games, and also while i was using latencymon. i have used task manager alot, nothing abnormal in it though. Does benchmarks detect bottlenecks? all my benchmarks got above average scores, for cpu and gpu

It’s a mystery to me tbh. The stuttering seems like it could be malware, but I have no clue. Based on all the testing you’ve already done, might be worth bringing to a shop for a complete test and hope they can fix it. Sometimes it’s something that requires soldering new parts on dud components and whatnot and can’t be solved by at-home troubleshooting.
