Ignore the fortnite, I was playing it for an esports class I’m using to round out my credit hours.
But this, THIS ANNOYING stutter has been happening for like 2 years now, the entire computer, video, audio, will lock up for like 2 seconds and it happens like once a day, twice if it’s feeling spicy.
I’ve looked into so many logging programs but I cannot for the life of me nail this one down, any ideas? This may be my only chance to squash it for good
update: i’m starting to think its something related to AMD watchdog, what i’m thinking is happening is the rx 6700 xt is not responding within a specified period of time and its forcing a gpu restart
not sure what to do with that information though
I had this happen to me too with an AMD card. I tried:
Finally in frustration, i disassembed the computer completely. When i was taking it apart, I noticed something that I couldn’t see from the outside: That one of the motherboard offset screws was stripped and not fully seated. And, because this screw was next to the PCIE slot the graphics card plugged into, the motherboard was slightly warped upwards by a millimeter or two, and prevented the video card from seating fully. I replaced the stripped screw, put the computer back together, with the video card now seated snugly in the PCIE slot.
And the random stuttering was finally GONE!
Maybe you can start at the bottom of my list and work your way up to save time…
Will definitely try this
