History
I have been struggling with frame drop issues for months--honestly can't remember if there was a triggering event. I would be playing an intensive game (Helldivers 2/Space Marine 2) and my frames would occasionally plummet from my normal 90-110fps to 50-60fps, along with a chugging pattern where 1-2 seconds of gameplay would run fluidly followed by 1 second of total chug. The longer I played an intensive game, the more likely it would occur. Rebooting the application would not fix the problem, I would have to restart to resolve it. I have been a mix of busy and lazy so I just lived with the issue.
About a month ago I got fed up with it and looked into it. My research suggested a memory issue, so I used Memtest86.
No errors found, and the problem persisted, but I started to pin the frame rate drops to this warning in Event Viewer:
My research told me the cause might be AMD and Nvidia drivers being in conflict or incomplete. I ran DDU in safe mode and reinstall my graphics drivers. Which I did ~1 week ago, clearing and reinstalling my Nvidia drivers.
Problem persisted. So with more research, I followed a suggestion to disable my iGPU. I did that 2 days ago and HD2 ran fine & stable. I thought I had fixed it! Only note was that I was previously running my 2nd monitor from the iGPU, so I had to plug it into the 2070 after disabling it.
I left my gaming PC off for 2 days while traveling and came back today, booted HD2 and had a crash on startup, with these Events:
I tried rebooting the game and had a system crash, both monitors going black before an automatic restart. These were the Events:
Tried booting HD2 & other intensive games and they all start at 100+ FPS and then progressively fall to 30-40fps, along with the same fluid-chugging pattern every 2 seconds.
Went Back to DDU, cleaned out and reinstalled AMD drivers and then re-enabled the iGPU, set to “Game Mode.” Both monitors still running from the 2070.
HD2 and other games still lose FPS over time, settling ~60fps without any fluid-chugging patterns. Restarting the games and/or system did not change this pattern. It’s playable, but definitely less than what the system is capable of.
I’ve stopped getting any memory or Nvidia-related events, so I have nothing left to search on and I seem to have made the problem consistently worse trying to fix it on my own, so I would really appreciate some guidance.
