Radom GPU usage drops. Resulting in quick freezes.

[wubly]

Recently i sent back my graphics card for an RMA because i suspected that it was faulty and it was creating sudden fps drops and stutters in my games.But what a surprise, the GPU wasn't the issue. almost every game i play has this issue where my GPU usage drops and my game freezes for like half a second. This is very annoying and ive tried almost everything. I've been trying to fix this issue for over 6 MONTHS! Ive tested my ram, not the issue. I've sent back my GPU, not the issue. what do i do next? I have reinstalled windows 4 times with no fix. Please gamers if you or a person you know have had this issue please comment down below. Ill try to provide all the info you guys need to troubleshoot this.

Refresh your PC

Refresh your PC

I dont know if I stated this above, but I reinstalled my operating system i think 3 times so far, all those times to fix this issue but it still persists. If refreshing my pc is different then a reinstall please reply stating so.

when you refresh it fixes issues an problems it does not delete any personal files

ok ill do that now.

it says some files are missing, your windows installation or recover media will have them. I put in my windows disk and this still happens. And im pretty sure this wont fix it because like i said i reinstalled my OS numerous times. The reinstall is like a better Refresh

This issue happens on every game i play. So uninstalling isnt the solution. I wish things would be fixed that easily.

I did they told me to RMA it, but when i got a new one back i figured the GPU wasnt the issue.

 

[Coolboy951]

Yeah I have that's the thing, this issue is so frustrating I wish more people could be active on this thread... Anyway thanks man I've been thinking for a while it might psu related for some odd reason, I don't know why but I've done literally everything and it's time to strip this new machine up. Thanks again for your help.
