Problems have returned. No changes have been made to the system, with the exception of a few windows updates. The problem now is that the system will hard lock when doing mundane things like watching Netflix. I've decided to try RMAing the video card.

You've had bad luck.

When you did use onboard video were you getting that stuttering?

No stuttering with the onboard. Back to using the onboard just now.

I've just realised that I've probably wasted my time by doing the RMA because I forgot that I had already tried this out back in May:

Tried my roommates 970 in my system, and he tried my one in his. I instantly got the return of the stuttering, while his setup was totally fine. So I guess it's time to try out a new PSU. I'll be going for the 650 watt EVGA Supernova G2, as recommended in the part picking thread. This will replace my 6 year old Corsair TX650.

This would seem to suggest that whatever the issue is, it's not with my graphics card. gently caress.

Are you currently on the second motherboard and second PSU still? Are you still using that sound card?

I'd try different RAM. I think that's one of the parts you haven't switched out yet.

Yes, I'm still on the 2nd PSU and Motherboard. I'll try swapping out the ram next week.


Edit: And I'm still using the Xonar sound card.
