Windows 10: SCREENSAVER LAGGING/STUTTERING/LOW FPS. HELP PLEASE!

Hello all, I’ve been using the Helios screensaver and it ran perfectly for almost a year. Now that screensaver barely moves (low FPS and stuttering). I switched to stock windows 10 screensavers to see if the issue persisted and it does lag/stutter pretty bad. Games run fine and even updated my drivers and OS to the latest updates. I tried it on the lock screen with the same issue. Again this was working perfectly up until 2 days ago. I have an i9 9900k/RTX 2070/ 32gb ram (xmp)/1tb m.2 hdd/ 8tb hdd/ 32in 4K gsync monitor. Please somebody help!

Stuttering/Lagging In games when a (graphical) things load(?)

I can try to help you by first differentiating between lagging or latency and problems with low fps.

the source of problem with stuttering can be both of the above, the difference is that lag/latency issue is result of poor network connection/bandwidth and poor fps is usually result of poor performing hardware due to either being below system requirements or there are many application using PC resources.

 

Sudden FPS drop/Stutter

Since 2 days ago, I just turned on my Computer, and it starting having issues while I was playing Witcher 3 (starts with decent fpsm and then very low fps, dropping to 35, then 20, and stopping at 12 or so, in a matter of seconds, in a matter of 1min of starting the game), also stuttering without any high demanding programs, randomly. I was playing at 45-60 fps, without any stutters or sudden fps drop. Have tried other games the issue persists. Even setup everything to low settings.
I have ran several tests with several tools, all seems normal, no sudden memory spikes, or temperature raising out of the ordinary, nothing that would indicate such an fps drop or stuttering.

MSI Afterburner

I also did the reset option on Windows10, completly cleaned out all my personal info from the windows partition.
So at this point, I am not sure if it is a software issue or a hardware issue.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Edit: I kept doing some tests to find out the issue. And this happened before and I was able to replicate it. Same thing happened as before, till I set it up to fullscreen, Alt+Tab from the game and then back to the game, FPS went up to 50 again, stable and good, dropped after a couple of seconds. After a bit it went to 2-5 fps, and I had to shutdown the game, because even the sound was getting messed up.

MSI Afterburner 2

In this image those ups and downs in the GPU usage are when the fps dropped really hard and the sound got messed up.
