Video and audio playback constantly delayed and stuttering when operating both films and games,

[iDowski]

Hi there,

My computer is unable to display video or playback audio smoothly, both freeze and stutter, which renders both unplayable. I've tried running troubleshooters with no issues detected. I've tried running games on the lowest possible quality, again with the same issues occurring.

Can you provide some help?

Kind regards,

Ian
