So I just hooked up a brand new rig with:
Asus P9X79 WS board
i7-4820k lga 2011 chip
16GB(2 x 8GB) of G.Skill TridentX RAM
Evga GTX 650(soon to be upgraded in the future)
500GB SSD Samsung EVO 840 as the main drive
1TB HDD to store everything else
Corsair HX 850w
Dual monitor display
I installed Windows 8.1 and all of the driver CDs that came with the rig, I've looked online at Intels driver site and I've used Slim Drivers and my computer isn't telling me that the drivers I've got our out dated. And I am using the latest video drivers from Nvidia: 332.21 WHQL.
Yet when I've got Chrome up an running, there is some notable stuttering in various Youtube videos. It usually occurs on its own or when I'm opening, scrolling through links, or even refreshing in any tabs. It is also much more frequent on HD videos. I have already checked the chrome://plugins. The pepper flash is unchecked and I should be running the Macromed version which also claims to be up to date. What baffles me further is this error is non-existent in Internet Explorer. Plays the videos without so much as a complaint unlike Chrome here. I ultimately ended up forcing chrome to install on my HDD via junction to eliminate the lag. but now I'm incapable of playing HD videos period. Chrome on the SSD was at least able to load the HD videos, just played them choppily.
I was ready to throw my hands up and just live with it, but then I decided to test some games with the new rig. PSO2 used to be able to run at 50-60 on my old rig using the same card, HDD, and dual monitor displays. Now it dips between 50-20 and stutters/screen tears while I move around. I'm certainly convinced now that something has gone horribly wrong. I've tested my RAM and double-checked my drivers, no visible errors yet. But considering my earlier scenario with Chrome and Youtube, I believe there might be something up with the SSD as that is one of the major differences between my current and older rig. But I've no clue what the issue is or how to go bout fixing it or whether or not the fix entails a complete wipe of the computer and re installation.
From my research, the first response in topics dealing with SSD usually requests for an AS SSD benchmark. So I have supplied my results here in hopes of speeding the process along:
Any assistance on the matter would be greatly appreciated as I'm running out of leads here.
Thanks.
