Just want everyone to know that even though there are a lot of comments on "stuttering", which you can read my original post, while I was originally thinking this was a BIOS issue with all the other posts with similar issues, I ended up noticing my CPU temperature was very erratic and ANY load at all would spike it to 95C which resulted in instant voltage throttling which the system essentially would go back and forth on throttling. This was the cause with all of my issues.
I didn't go the warranty route due to time, so I took it to a computer store, once we had it opened up, the liquid metal had leaked out, luckily, no damage, I just had them use regular thermal paste (good stuff) and this machine works like a charm now.
Somewhat surprised that running INTEL diagnostics and everything else showed no issues but was very apparent just watching through the Armory crate and creating some light load, literally just opening any program.
