so I have an i5 6400 combined with a 1050 ti, if u look for benchmarks with this hardware you will see things like Battlefield 1 running at 60fps stable on high settings when I try to play games like this especially Battlefield 1, my CPU is running at 100% while my GPU won't go higher then 40%. this results in me getting under 10FPS. I have also noticed things like this in other games.
thermals are good, nothing running in the background.
any ideas on what is causing this?

Okay your SSD is almost completely full. When SSD’s reach around 10% free space left they will slow down a lot. Migrate a game to your HDD. And that ram seems to be really holding you back. 8gb of ddr3 is cheap and will help regardless.

All drivers up to date, windows up to date, clean installed windows and drivers multiple times. full specs are -- i5 6400 - Gtx 1050 ti - 8gb ddr3 - samsung evo ssd - 450w psu.
ram and gpu are almost never maxed out in any game or program that is being used

Well from what I can find Battlefield 1 really likes dual channel memory. I’ve seen games gain 15-20 FPS just from having 8gb single channel vs 16gb dual channel. Might be your problem unless you’ve ran battlefield 1 perfectly fine in the past.

never been able to run battlefield 1, but games like battlefield 4 run on ultra settings with 100+ FPS.
its just wierd to me that from 100fps on ultra settings, i cant even run bf1 on low 720p with atleast 30fps

Oh i didn’t notice the FPS was that low in your original post. Do you have a program such as afterburner that can show you individual core usage and clock speeds in game? It sounds like your CPU isn’t boosting up.

here comes the part I'm also confused about, my CPU is always at around 2.9 to 3ghz. idk what to do with it, and I'm afraid
that buying a new one won't fix the problem...

Try going to Userbenchmark and using the benchmark tool to compare your system to others using the same hardware. You may have to disable any program using an on screen display in order for it to complete correctly.

That cpu frequency sounds about right. 3.3ghz is only the max boost speed for one core.

userbenchmark shows this --

UserBenchmarks: Game 36%, Desk 44%, Work 29%
CPU: Intel Core i5-6400 - 59.3%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti - 36.3%
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 250GB - 75.2%
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 74.2%
RAM: Hynix HMT41GU6BFR8A-PB 1x8GB - 28%

but then it also says under cpu and gpu
Performing below expectations (23rd percentile)
