[SOLVED] GPU Clock dropping to 0%, games stutter for 5-10 seconds

[largersmoke420]

Hello. For the past few weeks, Battlefield 1 and Fortnite have been freezing for 5-10 seconds at a time, and I don't know why. I tried a bios update, and overclocking my gpu but that didn't help. Earlier on the page with the Advanced Systemcare stuff I tried, but I don't have it on my system, or at least I don't think. Can anybody help? My specs are as followed:

Other processes requiring internet are working perfectly fine, only games. And may I also note that the drops are happening only in these two games, none else. Here are my internet speeds: http://www.speedtest.net/result/7772474784 Hard drive is wd blue 1Tb

Make and model of your PSU? You cold try and uninstall the GPU drivers. Reinstall the drivers for your GPU with either the last known stable driver or the latest found off Nvidia. You could also try recreate the bootable installer for Windows 10, using Windows Media Creation Tools on a handy pen drive. Backup your critical content and then reinstall the OS.
