So recently I was having an issue with my pc and I decided to perform a system restore to solve the issue, however as soon as it had completed I noticed all my (D)disk files had gone, including all my games etc... I thought it was a just a error, so I quickly restarted my pc, and to my surprise it wouldn't boot into windows loading screen, I could only access the windows troubleshoot menu.
I wasn't to worried and decided to just perform another system restore, however it showed "no restore points have been found"
- I was then confused, so I tried running the "Start-up Repair" - and I was prompted with the message "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart"
And for the next hour I came to realise that all of the help tools weren't working -
So in the end I decided I would have to try and use the tool "Reset this PC" to fix my issue- However it said "There was a problem while resetting your pc"
Now I was really worried - So I spent the next however many hours trying every solution on YouTube just to find none of them working.
When trying to fix this issue, the only thing I could run was CMD (Command Prompt) and in the end I tried so many different solutions in command prompt from google and YouTube, I think I probably caused many more issues within my system because of the amount of different commands I had tried running. (i changed loads of settings with SSD, disk drives, boot drives and more) all to try and get my pc to boot up properly
Well after a couple of days I had managed to reinstall windows using a USB stick, and I thought I had fixed the issue.
I went on to download all the drivers and software I used to have on my pc before my factory reset, and everything looked fine again until...
I went and loaded into my game and noticed I was getting massive frame drops (from average 180fps down to 50fps ish and then back up to 180fps again) around every 15 seconds and also Audio stutters sometimes- however it almost seemed like every time I got a fps drops it would be as though my pc was stuck trying to perform a task, and then you would almost feel it catch up and go back up to the average fps again.
(just to say I have tried every solution to get rid of these fps drops, I have removed as many CPU processes as possible in task manager, I have the lowest settings in my Nvidia control panel as well as the in-game settings, I everything set to maximum performance, and nothing seems to work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now just to mention,
Before all of these issues had occurred with my pc, my games had always butter smooth with no frame drops or audio stutters- that's why I know there's a way to fix this issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so i have tried every solution and the only thing i haven't tested is my ssd - and back when i was in cmd i change loads of settings to do with my ssd and hard and disk drives - so i think there might be something wrong with one with them - hope this kind of helps
