Spikes, Stutters On All Video Games...
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and flow:
“About a month ago, I began experiencing significant issues with stuttering and blue screens while playing video games on my Windows 7 system. The problems were severe enough to make many games unplayable, resulting in constant crashes and errors. After reinstalling Windows and switching to Windows 10, the immediate issues resolved, but the problem returned after a short period. It would consistently stutter and cause blue screen errors, particularly during demanding scenes like explosions or intense driving sequences in games like GTA V. My frame rate fluctuated wildly, ranging from approximately 40-80 FPS, often dropping to as low as 20 when these spikes occurred. I monitored my computer’s temperature, observing that the GPU reached 70° and the CPU peaked at 80% usage during these periods, with the CPU dropping to 40% under heavy load. My hardware includes a GTX 1050TI (about two and a half years old) and an Intel i5-4690 processor (approximately four and a half years old), running on a 180GB SSD for Windows and a 1TB HDD. I’m using a 1080p monitor. I've tried various troubleshooting steps, including reinstalling Windows, disabling XboxDVR, enabling VSYNC, lowering graphics settings, and cleaning the PC of dust. Despite these efforts, the stuttering persists. I’d be happy to record a video demonstrating the issue if possible.”

“Please note that this issue may be related to an insufficient internet connection. If you're experiencing difficulties, it could be due to a slow connection impacting gameplay.
To troubleshoot, let's examine your system’s components. Specifically, we should investigate whether your graphics card is adequately performing or if there might be a problem with your system memory (RAM).
Ideally, you could borrow some additional hardware for testing purposes – perhaps two sets of 8GB dual-channel RAM, or a faster video card. Testing the system with these borrowed components can help determine if the issue lies with the graphics card, RAM, or potentially a slower internet connection.
If replacing either the memory or the video card improves game performance, it suggests that was the root cause of the problem.”
The system is now running smoothly after thoroughly removing and reinstalling the video drivers using DDU in Safe Mode, and checking for corrupted system files with sfc /scannow.
To further enhance performance, I recommend upgrading to a dual-channel memory kit consisting of 2 x 8 GB modules (totaling 16 GB) and acquiring a faster/more powerful graphics card as an alternative. Before making these purchases, it's advisable to borrow similar components from a friend to assess their impact on gaming experience.
I will try doing the scan in the cmd tommorow.How to exactly remove the gpu drivers, only with DDU in safe mode?Also, i never had any spikes or problems in any game, and suddenly, stuttering always, so if scanning problems, reinstalling drivers doesnt work, i will definitely consider borrowing gpu.Also, if the solutions above dont work, should i buy 1x 8GB RAM or replace these two and add one more?
Run SFC and uninstall and reinstall video drivers. If computer still has issues running games, then – replace the 2 x 4 GB modules with 2 x 8 GB modules form the same dual channel kit . and maybe replace the existing video card with a higher performing video card. But if the games now seem to run OK after running sfc and uninstalling/reinstalling video drivers, then it may not be necessary to replace the memory and video card (at this time). To improve performance, consider using dual channel memory instead of single-channel mode. This means utilizing two memory modules from the same kit simultaneously. It’s strongly advised against combining individual memory modules, as this can lead to incompatibility issues and further complicate troubleshooting. Therefore, if you encounter persistent problems while gaming, replacing the existing 2 x 4 GB with a 2 x 8 GB dual channel kit is recommended. Additionally, upgrading your video card could provide a significant performance boost. However, after completing SFC scans and reinstalling the video drivers, and if the system runs smoothly, further upgrades might not be immediately necessary.
I gone to NVIDIA Control Panel, enabled Vertical Sync and put Max FPS 59, and over performance and quality, i put balanced.The issue is nearly gone, still sttuters, but 80% less.I'll try your tips and will update with info.
I ran the scan, no faults.I reinstalled the drivers sucessfully, it stutters way less, but there is still a little lag.Also i noticed in PUBG, when someone started shooting at me, my game freezed and when it unfreezed it said some internet error, i cant remember the exact name of the error, but something like Increased Latency...

The issue may be related to your computer's performance, specifically with its internet connection or graphics card. If games are running slowly, it could be due to a weak internet signal requiring an active online connection.
To troubleshoot, consider these steps:
* **Internet Connection:** Ensure you have a stable and fast internet connection.
* **Graphics Card:** The video card might not be powerful enough for the game. Try borrowing a more capable graphics card or increasing the system memory.
* **Memory (RAM):** Insufficient RAM can also cause performance problems. Consider adding more RAM, such as 2 x 8 GB of dual-channel memory.
* **Testing:** Borrow components like additional RAM or a faster video card to see if they improve game performance.
If these changes result in better gameplay, it’s time to invest in upgrading your system with the appropriate components – potentially a larger RAM kit and a more powerful graphics card.
I will try doing that, i will keep you updating as soon as i get my hands on ram and a gpu.

All components have passed as non-faulty.
