Computer stutter / lag

0

1

Just throwing this out there see if you guys have any ideas as to what might be causing this. Every now and then my pc will start to stutter / lag but it's not constant, it's only really noticeable if i'm playing a game or i'm moving my mouse as it will stop for a millisecond and continue on. Hard to explain. I recorded a video of it happening which is linked below.

Youtube Video - Has been compressed too much, but if you put it in 0.5 speed it's more visible.

After the video I went through and closed non essential processes checking for a few seconds after each one, it only disappeared after closing Edge browser which is very odd in my opinion.

This stutter doesn't affect audio.

The problem is Netflix and it seems to only affect you if your refresh rate exceeds 60. I solved this by torrenting Netflix shows instead.

Do you have an explanation why that would help? – RalfFriedl – 2019-07-20T19:39:23.540

I've no idea to be honest. It seems to be a problem with DRM restricted media but I'm unsure whether it's a Windows or GPU driver issue. – Boland – 2019-07-20T19:52:16.447
