ASUS X670E hero stutter issues

[dandan112988]

Hello all I have a weird one. my computer will stutter in games, both audio and visual stutters. But this only happens if the computer is running from a reboot, not a cold boot. If I start the PC from cold boot, it works flawlessly. No lag, no stutters, no issues. But if i restart from there, it’s stuttering and audio stutter until I fully shut down the pc, wait 5 min, and start again. Then it’s fine. Im on the newest chipset drivers, windows updates , newest bios, and NVIDIA drivers. I have tried older ones as well, same issue. I also tried windows reinstalls both from cloud and from USB, same issue.  Tried MCS and power power on as off, same issue. Tried bios defect settings same issue. Not sure what else to do. It’s annoying to have to do a full shutdown, and wait for 5 min, to then start again to have no issues instead of just restarting like normal from windows. 

PC specs:

full custom loop cooled

Asus x670e hero bios 2806

7950x3d

nvidia 4090 on latest drivers- I forget which one but it’s updated. 

4x16 Corsair vengeance 6000mhz CL28

4x m.2 drives. Windows installed on a PCI 5 T700

EVGA 1600W T2

not sure what else to try to end this stuttering issue. Any ideas ?

If you open GPU-Z when the problem occurs, what does it say under "Bus interface"? 

Then, what does it say if you click the little "?" symbol and select "start render test"?

Its PCI 4.0 X16 at all times I believe

Hi @dandan112988 

Check with Latencymon to see if there's unusually high DPC latency.

Also check if the issue occurs at Optimised Defaults, without overclocking such as EXPO. Unstable memory or FCLK can cause this type of behaviour. As your post says 4x16GB @ 6000MT, it's possible the overclock is conditional.

Yeah there is high latency on the test. It happens on all expo settings, and on default bios settings

Update.

It seems like monitoring software is causing these stutters. Both L-3 connect AND corsair Icue are doing it. I did a system restore and played games for a bit, no stutter, moved on to installation of a new program etc etc.  It seems like these monitoring softwares cause these stutters. Does anyone have a solution or work around to this? Anyone else have these issues?
