Short freezing, sound crackling - (CPU seems not to be the problem)












0















For days, I can't figure out what is going on with my PC/Ubuntu 18.04.



HW:



CPU: i7-8700



GPU: GTX 1060 6GB



OS is installed on Kingston A1000, M.2 - 480GB



RAM: HyperX Predator 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000 so I think HW should be more than OK.



The Ubuntu freezes for short amounts of time (like 0.2 sec), I can see it when I'm writing something (it freezes for moment) or when I scroll in browser (sound starts crackling) or even sometimes when I copy text to clipboard.



I noticed that even scrolling on website increases CPU usage to almost 80% but not sure if it's the problem.



Or - when I started libre office, sound was crackling for some time (0.5 sec).



I have 3 FullHD monitors connected to my GPU - 2 monitors and 1 TV but I it happens even without TV connected - 2 monitors.



Some metrics:



before scrolling

during scrolling



enter image description here



SSD I have 335 GB free from 480 GB.



RAM is not a problem probably:

Throttling because of temperature is unlikely:



milano@milano-PC:~$ sensors
pch_cannonlake-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +42.0°C

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0: +40.0°C (high = +82.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0: +39.0°C (high = +82.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +40.0°C (high = +82.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

Core 3: +39.0°C (high = +82.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 4: +37.0°C (high = +82.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 5: +38.0°C (high = +82.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)


lscpu returns very different values over time but it is capable to reach higher frequencies so it is not problem too:



Stepping:            10
CPU MHz: 3167.816
CPU max MHz: 4600,0000
CPU min MHz: 800,0000
BogoMIPS: 6384.00


I've installed GPU drivers from PPA and set 415, but I don't think it helped:

Almost all GNOME extensions are off:

I run out of ideas, do you have some?
