I been having issue with diablo 3 and league of legends where my computer is randomly having these mini freezes or stutters no more than 1 second ever. Freezes never really happen in same spot, situation or in set intervals, like random loot drop in diablo or champ pack starting attacking, random mobs coming out of coffins etc.
In league it's random enemy skill casts do this and not being able to dodge them kinda makes playing the game really hard.
I think i gotta add that i do play Guild wars 2 aswell and i never seen this happen on that game anywhere.

Been trying to find solution for a while now, updating sound drivers, gpu drivers, resetting some overclocking stuff etc back to default, running ram tests to see if they give any errors, trying lowering graphics in games, disabling sound from games but nothing seems to work. Searching about this same issue brings many threads here even tho most of them are old so i thought of giving it a shot if someone knows more and what could be causing it.

Temps on everything is just normal while playing so its not overheating and as it does not happen on Guild wars 2 at all what makes it even more weird.

Specs.

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) X4 860K Quad Core Processor OC to 4.1ghz from 3.8ghz
GPU: ASUS R9 280 Series 3 GB
RAM: 8gb ddr 3
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 (6.1) 64 bit

Two things:
Make sure you've downloaded the latest drivers.
And make sure you force max performance mode in CCC, especially when playing Diablo III. My gtx 970 had the same issue because gpu load was so low, it ran on the lowest possible clock speed.

If you need help changing it, check out this thread.

Cpu temps are around 35-40
Gpu around 50-55

Disk is not fragmented, i even ran the defragmenting anyways to be sure

Also i tried the gpu ccc fix and see how it was running while playing diablo but it ran on highest clock speeds.
