My PC has had freezing/stuttering issues for years and I'm getting sick of it

First built my rig in 2016, no issues. Upgraded my mobo and CPU in 2022. First game I ran after the upgrade was Stray, and immediately noticed the freezing issue but thought it was the game itself. Nope, doesn't matter how graphically intense or bland the game is, indie or AAA. I posted on Reddit about this, nothing suggested worked except updating bios seemed like it fixed it but only for maybe a week.

More details on what actually happens. Visually, the game will freeze for a literal second, then speed up really fast for a second to make up for it. Sometimes this happens at random, but I mostly notice it happening during specific in-game actions (just before getting hit by an attack, reloading a weapon, killing an enemy). Basically, anything that interacts with the player in same way will cause this to happen. As you can imagine it's very annoying and disorienting. My benchmark shows a massive spike dip with my GPU when this happens, which I think is odd because this happened with my 1070 and currently RX 7900 GRE. Like I said, only after upgrading my mobo and CPU did this start.

This doesn't happen for every game I play, but a lot.
Here's my specs for before I upgraded and after.
Before:
Intel Core i5-6500
Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws 4 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory
GTX 1070

Now:
Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
ASRock B550 Steel Legend ATX AM4 Motherboard
Same memory as before
Radeon RX 7900 GRE

Heat throttling... good water cooler.
Update the bios
Voltage drop? Did you undervolt
Try overclocking. Not alot but a boost again watch heat.

My 2 cents

I did use a stock cooler for a little bit before getting a new one. Games run at 65c give or take. Not a heating issue.
Already tried that as mentioned.
Mmm not sure about the voltage. I double checked to see whether the new parts were compatible. I have a 650w gold PSU.
Never overclocked before, may give that a shot.

Maybe the problem was your monitor cant catch up , try lock your fps to 60 ,could be PSU too, i believe you already update chipset

_I_ 6 月 12 日下午 7:25

Couldn't be my monitor since I got a new one this year. Another PSU mention, might be it. It's going on 10yrs.

No I'm not saying it's defective, but I made sure when I got it I adjusted everything accordingly. This problem existed with the old monitor I had.
Yeah let me borrow a $300 monitor from someone before I buy it...

If you didn't re-install Windows, do that and get the right drivers and all that. It's pretty important.

No generally beforr buying stuff you need you 100% make sure the part is the problem, i borrow 3080ti, and even 100dollar DP cable easily,

Same os but I did do a fresh install of windows not that long ago. Never went through the drivers though. Gonna do that tonight.

Like every 4-6 months. It's clean.

Mentioned in the first paragraph...

You know, I just remembered, while installing the new mobo and CPU beer got spilt on my RAM. I dried them for a bit and re-used them.

Pretty sure that's it.

I would suspect a faulty CPU, quite a few Ryzen CPUs ended up faulty ever since the pandemic started, check your event logs for errors involving "Cache Hiearchy" as it usually indicates a problem with AMD CPUs
