Unexplainable Fps drops and sound shuttering in every single game.

[alexbardakas]

Hi everyone,
For the last week my gaming laptop has been experiencing weird shuttering in every game i play and also unusual sound shuttering as well.It is like an old cd that it has been scratched.I have checked for viruses/malwares via windows defender,i am getting the usual temperatures(70-80 degrees celsius) in my cpu/gpu,i have been using the fastest speed on my fans,and reinstalled drivers.
my laptop has:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz.
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4GB.
RAM: Samsung 8.0 GB.
HDD: 1 TB.
SSD: 128 GB.
OS:Windows 10
I cant understand why something like that would happen in this specific laptop which i own for exactly one year.
Any response is appreciated.
Further information if requested will be provided.

If there's sound stuttering too it can be a faulty component. Use your warranty.

Isn't that the last resort though?
If there is a simple fix like changing anything in my settings i would like to try that other than using my warranty.
Plus i believe that the overall issue is occuring in GTA V and PUBG.
Rainbow Six Siege and Battlefield 1 are just fine.

Then it isn't happening in every single game. Check for audio drivers.

All sound drivers are up to date.
I have searched around the internet and some suggested that discord might be causing the audio shuttering.
How i can be sure that this is the actual reason?

stop using discord while gaming. if problem goes away then you know that was it.

Maybe that is the answer.
If anything is not fixed i will keep on updating here.
Thanks

i use discord on my phone while playing on console so I would not notice anything like this, not saying that is the problem but just see if it makes a difference

Maybe my problem was the discord overlay which is pretty buggy.
I disabled it and i believe it is fixed.
If anyone is experiencing similar problems maybe discord is your answer.

It is your RAM. I have GTA V and this was happening to me yesterday. I would be doing nothing and it would be running fine but right when I would start moving it would lag like crazy and I would drop to 5 FPS and sound was cutting in and out. Mine did this when my ram was at 98% usage (thx memory leak). Restarting fixed mine and now it’s running smooth again. 8gb of ram is the minimum for gta 5 so if you want a mostly guaranteed solution, upgrade to 16 if possible, otherwise limit your opened applications.

I actually suspected that it is a RAM problem but the usage was always at almost 100% when playing GTA V.
But the problem is only happening for like a week.I also thought that it might be CPU throttling due to high temps but actually it is not it.
When it comes to upgrading RAM it is something that costs a lot of money company-wise since it can only be done if requested from lenovo,while manually installing new RAM sticks is easy and cheaper it ruins the warranty.
I am really buffled by this whole thing.
I am now checking background usage and such in order to see where is the actual problem.
Thanks for the advice anyways
