Micro-stutters/freezes In Game And Desktop With Ryzen 9 3900x And Gtx 2080 Ti

Hello all,

Last week I built a new - ultra PC and have been experiencing this issue from the start:

Every 30 seconds - 1 minute, i get a micro stutter either in games, or just on windows doing work. This drops my frames and often cause my last action to be missed. (Such as a click on a link).

3 processes spike the CPU up about 8% in task manager when the stuttering occurs, Windows Explorer, System, and Start. This could be a cause or result of the stuttering, unsure.

Ran UserBenchMark and got pretty average ratings.

Here are my specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core
Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB DDR4-3200
Video Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 TI 11 GB
Power Supply: Corsair RMx 850 W Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Issue has continued since first boot. I have updated BIOS, all drivers, and reinstalled GPU drivers twice. XMP is the only setting tuned in the BIOS. Everything else is stock speed.

Additionally, I have messed with a lot of settings to optimize Windows for speed, and have since tuned them back because they have not helped. Power usage is on max performance. Disabled pretty much every background process I could.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Apologies, forgot some information:
Storage: Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB SSD
OS: Windows 10 home
All drivers were installed manually besides GeForce Experience install. Will try a manual install of GPU drive next.

 

Which ones and how did you go about doing this?

 

I used to install NVT ERP to see in the log what is running when the spikes occur. It logs command lines and other processes when they run. There is a program called SpyStudio here:

I think it will do the same thing with a little less configuration. It's not exactly 100% simple to set up an activity capture. Since your problem occurs so frequently you should be able to find the source easily if you can just get a look at what is running...
