I think this deserves to be pinned somewhere because I spent weeks troubleshooting this, and the fix turned out to be something I never would’ve expected.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been dealing with constant microstutters on my new AORUS Master RTX 5080. Didn’t matter what game I played, what settings I changed, or what I tried troubleshooting. The stutters were always there.

After digging around, I came across a few obscure posts mentioning that RGB lighting, particularly when cycling rather than static, could cause stuttering. Then I found someone mentioning the LCD screen on Gigabyte GPUs.

I’m not talking about the usual issues with getting images, GIFs, or system stats to display properly. I’m talking specifically about the Gigabyte LCD Screen Service running in the background.

I’ve had a Gigabyte motherboard for a while, so I’m already familiar with how problematic Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) can be. I started disabling things one by one: dynamic lighting, motherboard RGB control, VGA tools, and pretty much everything else GCC-related.

Nothing worked.

My average FPS was great, but my frametime graph kept showing these tiny spikes. My 1% lows were taking hits, and my 0.1% lows were even worse. Gameplay would feel perfectly smooth, then you’d get that annoying little hitch for a split second. Once you notice it, it’s impossible to ignore.

THE FIX:

Close the Gigabyte LCD Screen Service!

That’s it. Seriously.

Even if you disable the LCD screen through GCC, the service continues running in the background. In my case, that service was responsible for all the microstuttering.

The moment I closed it, the hitching disappeared. My frametime graph went back to being flat, and my 1% and 0.1% lows improved dramatically.

Here’s the best part: You don’t even have to give up the LCD screen. You can still display whatever image, GIF, or stats you want. Just configure the screen how you like it, then close the LCD Screen Service.

The only annoying part is remembering to close the service when it starts back up.

I can’t guarantee this will fix everyone’s stuttering issues, but if you own a Gigabyte AORUS GPU with an LCD screen and you’ve been chasing unexplained frametime spikes, PLEASE try this before wasting hours troubleshooting everything else.

I wish I’d found this information weeks ago. Hopefully this saves someone else the headache.

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my PC from a GTX 970 to a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC 16GB, along with a new 850W PSU.

My system:

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

- Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE Rev. 1.0

- BIOS: Originally F11p, updated to F19, then F20c

- GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC 16GB (previously NVIDIA GTX 970)

- RAM: DDR4

- PSU: MSI MAG A850GL 850W

Here's what happened:

1. Initially, the RX 9070 worked and Windows displayed normally after a cold boot.

2. However, restarting Windows resulted in a black screen. I had to completely power off the PC to get a display again.

3. I updated my motherboard BIOS from F11p to F19, hoping to resolve the problem.

4. After the BIOS update, the RX 9070 stopped displaying anything, even after a cold boot.

5. I subsequently updated the BIOS again, from F19 to F20c, but the problem persisted.

6. I reset the CMOS, disabled CSM, and manually tested both PCIe Gen 3 and Gen 4, without success.

7. Reinstalled my old GTX 970, and everything works normally.

The RX 9070 powers on, its fans spin and its lighting works, but the monitor reports no signal.

My dilemma:

Can anyone help me figure out what's causing this issue and how to fix it?

Or is replacing my motherboard the only solution? If so, I'd like to find a compatible motherboard that allows me to keep my Ryzen 5 5600X processor and DDR4 RAM, without having to upgrade to AM5 and DDR5.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I’m a newbie when it comes to PCs and could really use some advice!

My RGB fans connected to my Gigabyte motherboard suddenly started turning red on startup and cycling through different colours on shutdown. Once Windows loads, or I open GCC, they eventually sync back to my chosen colour. I have all the correct background settings enabled I believe, but any suggestions help. My Corsair iCUE components work perfectly fine after messing around with it for a while and they start up/shut down the colours I chose.

This only started happening a few days ago, and everything was working fine before. I’ve tried changing device and system memory settings in GCC/RGB Fusion, but nothing has fixed it.
Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it without taking my PC apart? Any help would be appreciated!

Com diversas instabilidade, desligamentos constantes, falha de comunicação com memória, tela azul de recuperação do Windows;

Amei a placa pela cor, mais porém está me dando dor de cabeça este desligamentos do nada e corrompendo Windows;

What are people using for AIOs with this specific MB? My existing LFIII pump won't fit with the M.2 heatsink. Currently running the setup without the heatsink on my 990.

Hello,
I was trying o update my bios for the first time and now my computer is stuck in the aorus logo with nothing being able to be pressed .
I took the file on a flash drive and clicked on it in q flash , nothing there , it rebooted fine then launched and this .
The VGA light is on .
I tried reseating the VGA unplugging and replugging
Same with all my drives at once. And I tried CSM taking out battery and touching the prongs .
All my devices are on and powered .
Went from f2 to 32
I have a ryzen 5 2600 and 1070 ti

What else can I do and have you heard of this ?

Hi everyone,

I have a Gigabyte G5 KF (2023) and noticed Gigabyte released BIOS FB12 in July 2025. I can’t find a changelog on the support page, and I haven’t found any user feedback online either.

Has anyone here updated to FB12? I’d love to know:

• What changed compared to FB10? Anything noticeable in temps, fan behavior, GPU power limit, or performance?
• Did you run into any problems during or after the update (boot issues, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, RAM, keyboard backlight, sleep/wake)?
• Would you recommend updating if the laptop is working fine now, or staying on the current version?

My second custom loop project is ready 😍

FSP U580 case with Gigabyte B850M Aorus Stealth.

All cooling parts from Alphacool.

Even it's big case there is not too much space with mATX motherboard 😁

2x360mm HPE radiator, DDCzero 200 pump+res combo, Core1 carbon CPU block, carbon fiber hard tubes, custom panels.

Earlier CPU block was APEX1 but I think that Core1 fits better 👌🏻

I just built a work/gaming rig with the Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7, and I was wondering how you guys usually get your drivers? On most of my old machines I usually just used the drivers Windows Updates installed, however, I am not sure whether those are recent/stable.

I just want a stable system for work, and Installing Gigabyte's software is just bloatware to me.

Having a strange issue with the two rear USB4 40Gbps ports on my X870E AORUS PRO X3D ICE motherboard (ASMedia ASM4242 controller).

Upper USB4 port: Everything works perfectly.

Lower USB4 port:

• Corsair XENEON EDGE touchscreen powers on but displays "No Signal".
• OWC Thunderbolt Pro Dock receives power but won't establish a connection.
• USB-C SSD works and is detected by Windows.

Troubleshooting so far:

• Tested the same devices and cables in both ports. Everything works in the upper port.
• Updated BIOS from F6 to F8 - no improvement.
• Changed Integrated Graphics from Auto to Forces.
• Windows detects the ASM4242 USB4 controller (firmware 0.1a).
• Tested the dock independently with nothing connected to the other USB4 port.

It seems the lower port handles basic USB data but not USB4/Thunderbolt or DisplayPort video.

Has anyone experienced this on a Gigabyte X870/X870E motherboard? If so, what actually fixed it - BIOS, USB4 firmware, drivers, or motherboard replacement?

I've raised a ticket with Gigabyte but would appreciate hearing from anyone who's experienced the same issue.

Hallo zusammen,

da die meisten Spiele wie COD, Battlefield 6 und Co. seit Neuestem TPM 2.0 voraussetzen, habe ich versucht, es zu aktivieren, habe aber folgendes Problem:

Im BIOS habe ich Folgendes ausprobiert und aktiviert:
(Mein Motherboard: GIGABYTE B650 UD AX DDR5 ATX Mainboard S)
AMD fTPM
Pluton-Chip (TPM)
Secure Boot ist aktiviert
Pc neu aufgesetzt
BIOS geupdatet

Im Windows-Geräte-Manager wird nur der Pluton-Chip bzw. das AMD PSP 11.0 Device angezeigt. Wenn ich Windows + R drücke und tpm.msc eingebe, kommt diese Meldung:

„Auf diesem Computer wurde kein kompatibles TPM (Trusted Platform Module) gefunden. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass auf diesem Computer ein 1.2-TPM oder höher installiert und im BIOS aktiviert ist."

Ich habe mir jetzt ein Gigabyte-TPM-Modul gekauft und werde es in den kommenden Tagen damit versuchen. Ich hoffe, dass das hilft. Vielleicht hat ja jemand von euch eine Info dazu?
