windows 11 audio stutter noise and screen stutter at the same time

everytime i try to record this shi it just never appears, so i will try to explain the situation here.

so when i start playing some music or anything and start browsing tru the ui or doing anything i get some stutter in my system with an electric noise, it happens for like a few micro secs. it happens randomly and i've noticed it gets worse when doing some work like switching bookmark bars in chrome, switching tabs, opening download pop ui, or like switching folders in file explorer (like switching between downloads, docs, pics, etc all the pinned folders) these are just some of the examples. it gets severe when i open my eq app peace ui, just navigating tru the basic ui (just hovering over the ui elements) or turning off/on the eq toggle it gets so annoying, and it's not like it happens every single time, no, i get it sometimes. it sounds like "zee" but electric. screen and mouse just lags and stutters for a micro second and gets normal. it also gets severe when am downloading something and browsing on the go. btw it doesnt happen when playing games, games run fine.

it's happening since like few months back, my pc is like 2.5 years old and i never had anything like this until the windows crap update news were all over the web. i remember i used to get this same problem but it was with the scrolling before, whenever i try to scroll tru web pages or spotify, the same thing happened but idk the scroll thing got fixed automatically and now this new problem came up.

few things i tried to fix it but didn't work (claude told me):

  1. removing usb devices from my motherboard (mouse, keyboard, speakers, gaming controller dongle)
  2. removing ep apo app because the stutter was getting worse everytime i open it
  3. clean installing gpu drivers
  4. removing realtek drivers
  5. clean installing windows (allthough i didnt face any stutter lags when i was on the older version of windows before updating, but i didn't test it for long and updated my system so idk)
  6. turning off audio enhancements

my specs

Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-12100F (3.30 GHz)

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)

Graphics card AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT (8 GB)

Storage 79 GB of 1.36 TB used

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Edition Windows 11 Pro

Version 25H2

OS build 26200.8973

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.344.0

 

maybe my motherboard is getting weak here? idk should i update the bios? i never did bios update before. anyone having the same issue?
