Could BIOS settings cause stuttering?

When I test this, my PC doesn't go to sleep. I have disabled it in both BIOS and Windows.

It also happens when I restart the machine (and I have fast boot disabled) -- also worth noting that even when I full power cycle the machine it still happens.

Unless there's some sleep state that is being entered (when its disabled) and I am loading the machine straight away in to a game, or YouTube, I cannot make sense of it.

Quick update: I got antergos to work finally. I replicated the stutter issue in windows as soon as i set it to sleep, but when i tried it out in intergos, didn't have any issues. What kernal version are you running?

You can find out via 'uname -r' i believe

Also next time you face the stutter issue, open up a terminal and run 'dmesg' and paste that in here so we can see what the kernel is saying

Have you tried turning off smt and try enabling game mode via ryzen master?

I had already tried the SMT thing. It doesn't work for me. Ryzen Master in general for me is an absolute nightmare, and I don't want it on my system.

Thus far, CS:GO and League of Legends.

Also might help try using CCleaner to clear registery
