Question Games freezing and eventually crashing

[yy_james]

Hey fellow readers,

I came here as I am desperate.
My computer is driving me crazy lately. I can't play almost any game without it freezing, or lagging for few seconds every two minutes. Some games even crash pretty often.
To describe the situation that got me here, Imagine you're playing a game, and all of a sudden, your fps drops from 70 to 20 for lets say 20 seconds. After a minute or two, it's all back to normal running smooth. Some games dont even lag, they just crash.

I've tried re-installing GPU Drivers, my CPU is not overclocked, my PC is virus free, fragmentation and formatting of HDD didnt help too. I even performed a clean Windows install 2 times already. Nothing helps.
PC specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ
GPU: SLI NVIDIA® GT 750M 2GB
RAM: 16GB
OS: Windows 10

Hi @yy_james !

What driver do you have installed for your GPU at the moment?

Can you please provide a screenshot of your task manager while one of your games run?

Here to help!

Thank you for your time,

Here is a screenshot of the Task Manager while running ETS2:

My GPU Driver version is 425.31 and GeForce Experience shows that is the latest one.

Wow that's some serious load on your GPU.

As fas as I know that game does not support SLI configurations, so the load is going to just one of your GPU's, which has an old architecture. I hate to have the hypothesis that you may need to upgrade your GPU to improve your performance.

What settings are you running on? The game settings could be causing this stuttering. What is your AA setting?

For your reference:
