Hey guys, I have been a PC gamer for around 3 years now and around 1.5 years ago I finished my PC build. I have been playing games fine since then. I play games like Dota at perfect frames as you would expect, and I play games like Arma 3 with 40-80 frames depending on location. Everything was fine up until a few days ago my pc started having weird frame skips and drops while playing. In DOTA, I am going from vsynced 60fps to 20 or 40 for a split second. I thought it was software related so I re installed DOTA, but I then found not only was it not fixed it was across all my games(I was getting frame drops to like 20 on Europa Universalis4). So then, I simply just wiped the slate clean and I re-installed windows after formatting my HDD. To my dismay, I am still having these frame drops, and I'm now looking towards my hardware, something has gone wrong. I would like to ask for help on what benchmarks I should run to help you guys find the problem or the best way to pinpoint what part is causing the issue. Thanks! Let me know if I missed something; this is my first post so it may be a little choppy.

I attached my write speed to my HDD in dxtory, and I just ran this random benchmark that I scored very lowly on called NovaBench. I am suspecting my hdd because its write speed is dipping in a kinda stuttery fasion however, before I reinstalled my windows I was running off an ssd which had around the same write speed, but it was also having the same stutter issue. Insight would be appreciated. I searched all over the forum, and I decided this was the best place for this if not let me know.
