Windows 10: Windows 10 Fps/Lag once every minute

Hi everyone,

ive had a Problem since a circa a week. My System freezes for half a second once every minute on the clock.(Incedentally the time it takes for the hardware monitor graphs on the Task manager to cycle once) It manifests in Fps Drop and Gpu utilization drop, as well as delayed input in mouse and keyboard (catching up after the lag) You can see the Spike on the GPU on the Resource Monitor too.

The Drop also coincides with a refreshing of the Event Viewer and the Device manager.

I have Run Stress test on GPU and CPU and even brought my Machine to a PC repair shop where more Hardware tests were done and no anomalies were found
Mind you it was only the PC itself an none of the peripherals like the mouse, screens, etc.

I have tried unplugging every external USB device (individually and also all at once)

Windows and BIOS are on the newest possible version

The temperature readings are nominal too

My system:
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit
GPU: AMD RX-480 8gb reference model
CPU: Intel i7-4790 360ghz
RAM: 4x 4Gb Kingston Hyperx Fury DDR3
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G43 (MS-7816)
Disks: Samsung 840 EVO 120gb, 860 QVO 1tb, as well as 2 Noname HDDS (500gb and 1.5tb)

THe only possible Issue i could think of would be that i have a defective Ethernet port on my Motherboard which i replaced with a network card (without wireless, so ethernet only)

Anyone have a clue what could possibly cause that?

Thanks in advance

:)

 

PC performace and random FPS Drops and LAG

My PC has been doing this weird thing.... it keeps on having random FPS drops, I usually run at 60 FPS on Fortnite and higher, now every 5 or 3 minutes my game stops and slows down to 30 or 20 FPS and lags,, then goes back to normal and this happens constantly
please help I'm desperate...

 

Windows 10 games lagging

I had minimal FPS around 20 and average around 30-40 FPS in Metro: Last Light Redux. All newer games lagging (DiRT 4...). I have GeForce GTX 970 and Intel Core i5. Is this because Windows 10? In CS:GO i don't have this problem. GTA 5 also works normally but many other new games lagging.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
