FPS Stability
FPS Stability
Hello! I just reinstalled Windows 10 and added all the necessary drivers for gaming. My games are now running smoothly with high FPS and good stability, but in Fortnite my frames aren’t as consistent anymore. Sometimes graphics load slowly even when they usually do fine. After playing two matches, my FPS improved a bit, though it’s still not quite normal and loading times remain longer than usual. I’ve tried reinstalling the game and some drivers, plus optimized my system. Could you help me figure out what to do?
Here’s a bit more about my setup:

Yes, additionally, part of your RAM is set aside for hardware. So when you look in Task Manager, it will show how much RAM is reserved. That leaves you with very little available RAM. If you open several Chrome tabs at once, you'll consume the remaining RAM, leading to stutters, dropped FPS, or lag.
Additional memory would be beneficial. With just an 8GB system RAM, you're likely running low and may experience stuttering and dropped FPS once it reaches its limit. Check if your RAM is 1x8GB or 2x4GB; either way, a matching 2x8GB kit should resolve the problem.
I am using 1 x8 gb, but besides this problem there are two weird things that I noticed that I didn't had before reinstalling my Windows and I reinstalled it quite often in 3 years and I heard that my HDD could be broke because of this. One time I tried running the game I got a black screen that wasn't coming off and I had to force restart my PC to solve it and the other thing is that sometimes when playing CS:GO there is a weird lag that takes a second, but it's not a framedrop. Someone told me that my HDD could be failing, but I did some tests and everything seems fine.
I just saw that I'm using only 5.90gb of ram out of 8gb. I assume that is the problem. Here is a screenshot:
