Is the monitor plugged into the GPU or the motherboard?

Have you had any updates recently like Windows updates or graphics card driver updates?

Try removing the GPU drivers with DDU: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html and performing a clean install of the latest drivers downloaded from the geforce website.

If that fails, what temperatures are your GPU and CPU running at? Use something like HWinfo to check what they are at while running games.

I'm curious about the way you've worded this. Do you mean....

1. You have a PCS built PC with a GTX1080 in it and the PC is stuttering?

or

2. You've removed a GTX1080 from a PCS PC to put in another PC and that PC is stuttering?

It's your use of the phrase 'I have a geforce gtx 1080 from a custom built pc that was built by pcspecialists...' that's confusing me.

Have you done a recent upgrade of Windows 10 (to the April 2018 update)? If so, did you allow Windows to do the upgrade or did you do a clean install from boot media?

I updated my windows to the latest version last night using the settings on windows 10 to check and install updates

Then that could well be the cause of your problems. Although 'upgrades in-place' works well for most users, for many others it creates all sorts of niggly problems and issues. A clean install to 1803 from bootable installation media would likely fix your issues.

Can I have some help with doing that if possible

You mean a clean install? Of course. :)

If you want to play safe, visit the website for your motherboard and download the drivers you find there (chipset, audio, LAN, etc.) and save them to a USB stick. You probably won't need to use these but it's handy having them just in case.

Download the Microsoft Media Creation Tool from here and run the tool when it's downloaded.

In the tool select the option to download an iso file to upgrade another PC (don't select upgrade this PC). It's your choice whether to make a bootable DVD or USB stick, if you choose USB the stick needs to be at lest 8GB (but can be bigger) and everything on it will be erased (so don't use the one that holds your downloaded drivers!).

Once the tool has made the bootable install media, boot that media (you may need to enter the BIOS setup to change the boot order to do this).

The Windows installation will start. Choose a custom install and delete all the partitions on your system drive (unless you have already created a partition on there for user data, if so leave that partition alone).

Now create a new partition the size of the drive - or the size of the unallocated space if you had additional user data partitions on there (this value is selected automatically). You will notice one or more additional partitions are also created, this is normal. If you use UEFI boot for example, four partitions will be created.

Install Windows into the largest of the new partitions (it's selected automatically).

Once Windows is installed you will go through what's called the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) where you setup your region, language, userid, password, etc. etc.

When the OOBE has completed run Windows Update. This should find all the necessary drivers for your PC as well as all the latest updates. You will need to reboot several times and rerun Windows Update several times to get all the updates and drivers installed. Keep running Windows Update until there are no more updates found.

If Windows does not install all the required drivers then use the drivers you downloaded to a USB stick earlier.

You will need to download the latest NVIDIA driver (if you don't have it already) and install that. You'll also need to download and install drivers for any other specialised hardware you have that Windows Update doesn't find.

Windows is now fully installed and you can start customising it the way you want.

You will of course have to reinstall all your third party applications as well.

This is how I do every Windows Upgrade (to a new version). As soon as Windows Update tells me there is a new version available I use the Media Creation Tool to download the latest version to a USB stick and I clean install it as above. I've never had any issues doing it this way.

I would not trust myself to do that but thank you, do pcs have any sort of service to come and check out warrented computers?

Reinstalling Windows is ultimately very simple, and the on-screen prompts guide you through the process.

PCS won't do a home-visit, it's a return to base warranty, not an on-site warranty. You can call them for help, and they might even be able to guide you through the process if they agree a clean install is the way to go.

They may also use remote access to check some things on your PC.

Perhaps give them a call, they are open to 8pm today iirc. And open for some of tomorrow.
