    Why is my pc so choppy?


    So I powered my pc off yesterday for 1-2 hrs came back on it and my mouse was really choppy and my games were freezing a choppy. I thought it was possibly bc I was on windows 11 and my pc wasn’t able to handle it bc I had updates I couldn’t do.So I went back to windows 10 and factory reset my pc but it didn’t fix it, I downloaded a driver updater app and it says I have a bunch of out dated drivers, but windows says other wise I don’t know what else to do, I’ve done a few things to try and fix it but nothing has worked.

    Choppy video, all sources, 2 different PCs (long post)


    The video problem persists. My ISP sent a new modem, but it made no difference on streaming video, so the problem must be somewhere in the computer. I just can't figure where. This is driving me crazy, because I can't watch any video on either computer because the choppy playback is too distracting.

    I thought for a moment that the problem may be with the SATA driver or controller, as my Device Manager shows only the following, and if I'm not mistaken I'm supposed to see channels listed as well.

    But I just checked a video I recorded on my standalone recorder on a USB 3.0 flash drive, and it's choppy, too.

    Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?
     
  3. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    My audio is very choppy?

    That bad is audio with both my PC headset and TV. In Device Manager > Sound, Video and game controllers, and Sound > Playback tab, I've got listed:


    • Mpow HC (headset)
    • NVIDIA High Definition Audio (TV)
    • Realtek Audio

    In Device Manager, the context menu of each is the same. In Sound, the default device is NVIDIA High Definition Audio. When trying to troubleshoot, via settings, I get:

    I don't know which to choose. Troubleshooting via the Taskbar speaker icon hadn't helped.
