    Currently do not have another SSD to try out... So, I may just go back to my WD Black 1T to see if anything changes.

    (3) sticks of RAM?
    Remove one and make sure the other (2) sticks are in the correct slots. (read your MB Manual)
     
    Your system takes matched -pairs- of (2) sticks each
    Installing -3- sticks is probably causing your problems

    Read the manual for the EXACT placement of the (2) sticks
     
    If your reinstalling the OS make -SURE- the you set the SATA Mode in BIOS to AHCI -before- installing!!
    *you must use AHCI for your SSD

    So.... It was not the RAM. I tried to reinstall Windows (I made sure the SATA was at AHCI), and it even shuttered on the Installation Process. So... I'ma try a dif HD And see what happens. Last time I bought an SSD from this retailer it died after 48hrs. So... Lol.

    If you are going to re-install Windows you might find this helpful. I wish I had found it a long time ago. Sorry if you already know this stuff.

    @Zuhl3156
    Thx for the advice. 
     
    Update. So, I wiped the HD and went to reinstall Windows, Now that Micro shuttering is happening even @ the Win Installation screen. So imo its gotta be some sort of Hardware issue. I ma try another Mobo. I have a P8Z77 By Asus I will try after I try another HD. I hope its not the Mobo *Crosses Fingers* I just got it, lol.

    What BIOS are you running? There was a new BIOS released earlier this year. Sometimes a new board won't ship with the latest version.

    Random thought, but did you check your CPU temps and make sure it's not throttling?


    Have water, will cool.

    Use 1 stick of RAM, no more than 1.

    Do you have a older video card you could swap in?

    Intel i9 10900K
    MSI MEG Z490 ACE
    ASUS TUF RTX 3090
    32GB G.Skill Trident Z Royal 4000MHz CL18
    SuperFlower Platinum SE 1200w

    Good idea. There was a previous post where the CPU cooler wasn't attached properly and since this is a new build that is a good possibility. I might not know much but I know enough to keep reading and learning.

    I'll try the CPU thing, Who knows my goo may be junk. I'ma go to my shop I have here and get some new/Good stuff. As for te GPU, I've used it on my previous build with a P8Z77LK and an i5 2500k. And it ran like a champ. I will also try just 1 RAM Stick, Not sure if that is gunna make a dif, but what the hell, lol.

    If the MB 'timer' is defective on the MB, it will do what you are experiencing.  The 'timer' basically coordinates everything to be in sync.  I have seen the issue on many different MB's and Chipsets.  It is not a frequent issue though, just an anomaly that continues to pop up now and then.   Only way to fix the issue is by replacing the MB.
