CS:GO stuttering fps drops and freezing, Please help me guys

[HellBoy98]

hi guys , i'm suffering from fps drops and stuttering in games menus especially in counter strike global offensive , for unknown reason.
for example, in csgo i'm suffering from fps drops and stuttering also video+audio freezing especially in menus.
things i've tried to do :
1) reinstalling windows 10
2) re-applying thermal paste on my cpu
3) reinstalling csgo
4)checking for errors in my sata drives .
5) reinstalling new gpu drivers

so i think i've tried almost everything !! , and nothing solved the problem. i just cant take it anymore , i mean its not a budget pc , i've paid enough for this pc to get a fancy experience without of any issues , but what i'm actually getting in return is a new problem every month ...
my rig specs:
cpu: Intel core i5 4690k
motherboard: Gigabyte z97x gaming 7
gpu: AMD r9 290x 4gb (Sapphire tri-x)
Ram: G.skill 2x4gb 1866 Mhz
psu: Corsair cx750m (750watts)
Hard Drive: western digital 1tb 7200rpm caviar black
ssd: Samsung Evo 850 250gb

i believe my specs are more than enough to get a great experience in games , but unfortunately i'm not 🙁
so please guys do ur best to help me , i really need ur help even small opinions might help .
Thank you

check that your graphics drivers are up to date then if updating that doesn't work remove any overclock you may have run an anti malware program go to your catalyst control center and check that you are using your graphics card and not your on-board graphics

i've done alot of malware searching , and nothing found , also my drivers are the latest drivers , i have reinstalled them several times , its not fps problem at all , the gpu is giving me the fps i want , but there is something else that is ruining it. and making lags and stuttering , i also wanted to tell you that i feel that this freezing is also happening in my whole pc ,for example while opening files , browsing in the internet and entering websites , i can really feel the little freeze then suddenly the website enters , and the file opens , so it must be a wayyyyy far from the gpu .

i'm getting about 300 fps , so its not the cpu at al , its the r9 290x performance that is giving me that huge amount of fps .

 

[LORDPrometheus]

check your RAM status one of your sticks may have died or be dying. that seems the most likely. otherwise it could be hard drive related but with what you have described it doesn't sound like CPU or GPU

 

[HellBoy98]

are you sure its not the cpu ?? , cause i'm most likely feeling it is the cpu
anyway , this is a video that i've uploaded , sorry for not viewing fps , i just don't know why it doesn't show up in my recorded gameplys even if i'm running the fps monitor.

in the game menus once i click on inventory or something else the fps drops from 119 to 30-60 with audio freezing and lagging
in the actual gameplay once i click on escape button and the menu opens the fps drops from 300 to 130 and sometimes to 50 , with audio freezing and lagging , and sometimes i'm facing stuttering + fps drops when walking in the map without of opening menus or something else

i did windows memory test , and found no errors or issues at all , also i've done windows diskcheck on my both HDD and SSD , and found to problems or errors at all , so i actually don't think its the drives or the ram

 

[LORDPrometheus]

That's not a CPU problem. that looks like data buffering. basically i think your ram is fully utilized. when in game check your ram utilization in task manager and read off how big you paged and non paged pool memory is

 

[HellBoy98]

thanks , i'l do it and tell you what happens

 

[HellBoy98]

4.5gb gb ram were in use while in game

paged pool: 354mb
non paged pool: 718mb

 

[LORDPrometheus]

4.5gb gb ram were in use while in game

paged pool: 354mb
non paged pool: 718mb

the non paged is big but not disastrously big. did you check to make sure it is using the right graphics card for the game?

 

[HellBoy98]

yes i'v checked its, my hdmi is pluged in my r9 290x not in the mobo

i also have something to tell you that might help , i've been monitoring the cpu usage , and at the moment the game freezing when i open the menus by pressing escape button the CPU usage goes down, then rises after the freeze goes , so might it be the cpu now ? or no way ?

CPU utilization isn't generally an indicator of CPU health when the CPU utilization drops it means it isn't doing work meaning it isn't being sent a task. This could be a game read issue or a RAM issue. That being said there could be some inherent instability. are you running an overclock?

 

[HellBoy98]

no i'm not , and i will never try , this might help you , but a while ago i had hard drive issue , the usage of it was raising up to 100 while on idle ! , the only solution that i had to do was to get an ssd and put windows on the ssd , keep the games on the hdd , but i think i'm not facing that problem anymore .

 

[HellBoy98]

thats really weird , both the HDD and the SSD usage is arount 0-2% so they are definitely not the problem , what remains is , Ram ??? i believe ?

if its ram , i would go tomorrow and borrow my friends' Hyperx chips and test them , i'l keep you updated m8 , thanks for standing by me and helping 😀
