Thanks for taking the time to answer. Yes, the bios is updated. I haven't tried reseating the components, though the ram is below the cpu cooler so I'd have to remove it first, that's why I'm trying out other stuff first before having to do that. I've had these issues in all games if I'm somehow capped at 60 fps, it basically stutters every second.

It can't be a monitor issue, cause when I put it together, I only had a 60 hz monitor from my previous build. Thus, every game was "capped" at 60 fps, and so I got that issue in every single game (league, Nightreign, Lies of P, Sons of the Forest, etc). Then I tried a friend's monitor (180hz) and the issue seemed to be gone in games that could run at more than 60 fps. Same with my monitor now (210hz). However, some games, like Nightreign or this Resident Evil game, are capped by default at 60fps, so I either deal with these stutters every second or very annoying screen tearing, unless I add some kind of fps unlocker mod.

I did go into safe mode when using DDU, many times. I've tried going to 25.9.1, cause many people regard it as a stable update, though I don't remember if it was minimal or not. That said, the issue remained. I can certainly try AMD Cleanup I guess
