PC technical issues

Does anyone know how to fix stuttering in games on PC? UBOAT is unplayable because of it, every 2-3 s there is a "freeze" for about 0.5 s. It also happens in FC4 and AC: Oddysey but only in cutscenes.

I have latest AMD dricers, I tried turning off game mode in Win 10 but it did not work.

I have an RX 480 from on a 2016 high-end PC. The stuttering started around April-May 2018 after either Windows or drivers update. I had zero stuttering in Far Cry 4 before that time and ultra smoot framerate on almost highest settings.

Some time ago my PC started freezing for no reason.


IT's always the same - everything runs ok and until 30-40 min there is a freeze. First the curser works but I can't click anything, then after approx. 10s even the cursor freezes.

I have the latest drivers and Win 10. What the f... is going on?

Probably not overheating... normally it would just shut down if it was overheating rather than freezing.

Go to an anti virus website that you trust and see if they have any diagnostic tools you can use to remotely scan your computer.

Back up all your important data first.

I am a computer nerd so I have lots of hard drives from old computers, but something that might be useful is to make a bootable USB stick... a 16GB one is big enough for any OS so you can boot up on that and don't access your C drive and see if it happens again.

It would identify if it is hardware or software related...

If it does not freeze then I would reinstall your operating system over the existing one... it shouldn't damage anything but would normally fix corrupted files.

Freezes and lockups were much more common on older machines, but the newer OS generally handle permissions and access... normally it is two or more processes trying to access the same things so they are waiting for the other process to finish so they can use that resource but the other resource is doing the same so there is a conflict.

Check out your hardware manager to make sure there are no hardware conflicts... try updating drivers for your various bits.

When was the first time it happened... was it just after an OS update? or a hardware driver update?

Check the websites for the OS and your major hardware to see if other users are having similar problems... you might need to roll back and update.
