Comment on I finally caught it on tape! The stutter that will randomly happen once per day and I have no idea what's causing it

I had this happen to me too with an AMD card. I tried:

Finally in frustration, i disassembed the computer completely. When i was taking it apart, I noticed something that I couldn’t see from the outside: That one of the motherboard offset screws was stripped and not fully seated. And, because this screw was next to the PCIE slot the graphics card plugged into, the motherboard was slightly warped upwards by a millimeter or two, and prevented the video card from seating fully. I replaced the stripped screw, put the computer back together, with the video card now seated snugly in the PCIE slot.

And the random stuttering was finally GONE!

Maybe you can start at the bottom of my list and work your way up to save time…
