MSI GE40 playing choppy, didn't last time

[Anttman]

So wife has a MSI GE40, a 14" 1600x900 with an i7-4702Q and a dedicated 760M with 2GB, 8GB system ram and a 750Gb HDD.

 

We had Skyrim on it back in July and it ran fine out these issues, didn't have the stuttering nor the static noise like it does now.

 

So I go to install it for her the other day, now it's upgraded from windows 8.1 to 10. And she was playing Skyrim off my steam account, which was fine in July since I wasnt playing it, but now I am so I tried offline mode and it was streaming the game from my PC? Anyways with no mods, it was fighting to do the horse ride scene and the sounds, specially when loud, you could hear crackling.

 

So I bought her, her own. downgraded from 10 to 8.1 and I removed skyrim, reinstalled it from her new steam account, moved it from programfiles to c:/skyrim folder. Same issue, I dropped the audio from 24bit to 16bit 44100Mhz, and that improved the sounds but you can still hear the crackle. I installed the unofficial legendary edition, SKSE, ENBoost, safety load, and another thing.. when we started it from Steam it would say it was showing her dedicated card not the intel 4600HD, but when I checked the ini files they had the intel GPU. So I tried adjusting it Nvidias control panel, no change. so I manually edited the ini files which seems to have helped a bit but its still a tiny bit choppy. I raised the reserved memory to 256.

 

Oh also, the first few times, when skyrim ran that checking videos, it would set hers to ultra, but I just noticed that its been saying she only has the intel 4600, and so its been setting it to low.

 

 

I feel like im just missing something.

 

I have been looking online to find others who have had this issue, but im clearly not looking up the right things, any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance.
