I've been having this issue for quite sometime and I've been racking my brain about it. I've searched high and low for answers but I cannot find anything, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
The problem happens every so often. Sometimes a couple times a day and sometimes not for days. This usually last a couple minutes then it's fine again.
What happens is a stuttering, choppy slow down, during all pc activities (gaming, videos, moving web pages up and down, Moving windowed boxes around. Even the mouse icon lags and flickers). While playing vids the fps will drop and the game will start to lag big time. Like I said above it happens only for a couple minutes then it goes away. I have updated drivers. Checked the cpu/gpu temps with msi afterburner. I've also kept a close eye on task manager without noticing anything out of the ordinary. I though maybe sli issue so I disabled it but it still happens.

My pc is
I5-4690k
zotac 980 amp SLI
gigabyte Z97X-UD3H mobo
hyper x ddr3 ram
Sony bravia xbr850 4k tv
Im using a wireless logitec keyboard, but also have my wired mouse and keyboard attached

Any help would be awesome. I also have a video of it happening but I can't figure out how to upload videos.

Nothing else is catching my attention as much as the power supply, seems pretty likely. Unless there is something wrong with the Kingston SSD which might suffer from intervals or something but I don't think so.

In case of which it might be an SSD issue, I think It's rare by the way, I don't think It's the issue. But still, try this:

Which power supply and hard drives do you use in your system?
Have you tried uninstalling graphics drivers with DDU prior to installing newer ones?
How have you installed Windows? Have you upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10? Or have you done a fresh install?

My power supply is a Thermaltake smart 750w. The hard drive is a WD purple 3.5 sata 3 and a kingston 240 gb ssd.
I've fresh installed win10 at least a couple dozen times. I have used DDU prior to driver installs as well.

Thanks for your answers, that's pretty much all I wanted to know.

See, the thing is, you're running a powerful setup with two GTX 980's. Not sure if you've overclocked the CPU/memory or also the GPU's, however the point is that you want a decent power supply running in this system. With your system this is not the case at all. The Thermaltake Smart is a poor quality power supply, and to use that in an overclocking setup with two GTX 980's is very risky, and might be causing you problems. The power supply uses cheap parts, cheap capacitors, has build quality issues and isn't durable. Could this be harming your system? I'd say yeah, why not.

Try removing one GTX 980 and see how your system runs with one GTX 980 remaining in the system. If the issues don't go away, might be time to upgrade to a PROPER power supply which can easily withstand overclocking+SLI. It should help keeping your system a lot more stable and safe.

Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($86.05 @ B&H)
Total: $86.05
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Thanks for the quick reply. I have turned off sli for the last week now. I thought it could be a sli bridge issue, but the issue still happens.
Even with sli off, do you think that the issue could be the power supply? My set up isn't overclocked at all. I really think I should upgrade my power supply anyways. Once the 1080 ti is released I want to get away from sli all together.
