I have been experiencing micro stuttering while watching youtube videos, playing games like starcraft 2 or skyrim, playing Spotify or Pandora.

I have a fresh install of windows 8. Its impossible that it was caused by my video card since I replaced my old video card EVGA gtx 680ti SC, not the ram since I replaced my 16GB of Corsair Vengence, not the PSU its new, not the motherboard since that was replaced along with the processor (used all the other parts to build another pc). This all started with the installation of the 840 Pro.

All of my drivers are up to date, my firmware is up to date on the SDD and all other components are up to date including chipset, latest UEFI BIOS.

I am using Samsung Magician version 4.3
AHCI Mode is turned On
Sata is connected to 6GB port with a brand new cable
SSD is Optimized for performance
Trim is On
SMART everything is aok

I currently have installed in my pc:
Intel 4770k Haswell average temp is 38C under heavy load 48C
Asus Maximus Extreme VI
EVGA 780 ti SC ACX model average temp is 42C under heavy load 51C
Samsung 840 Pro 500GB
Western Digital Black 2 TB
Corsair Dominator 1600ghz 16GB
Corsair AX860 PSU
All My fans are Corsair SP and AF model
XSPC 360 Rad
Dual Pump systemLIQUID RESERVOIR EK-MULTIOPTION RES X2-400
Windows 8 Professional
AZZA 9000 Genesis Case

Any ideas? I can only imagine that it may have something to do with the Temp files being stored on my SSD but I fail to see how that would cause this since its a pretty damn fast.

Anyway you can run a benchmark on the drive and post them here for comparison? Ensure that the SSD is not being used for the page file. Should be able to change this under System>Advanced System Settings>Performance Settings and there will be a spot to change where Virtual Memory is used. I would have it set to system managed and it should be using your WD Black. Also is the SSD plugged into the Intel SATA controller SATA ports on your mobo?

Thanks for the quick response. I currently have my VM running on my WD Black and the ssd and hdd are both connected to the 6gb ports on my mobo.
