Ok so I have fixed it. Something completely screwed either my M.2 drive or the windows install on it. Even after re-installing windows/repairing it on my old drive, I kept getting the same problems. It was breaking my drivers/driver installs because every time I would try to do anything that had to do with drivers, my computer would get messed up again. Since then, I have installed a completely fresh install of Windows on my old SSD, and everything is working perfectly fine. My boot time is now around 10-15 seconds instead of 10-15 minutes, I am not stuttering anymore, and I am able to install/uninstall things like normal.

So I ran a different memory test and windows now says that my memory is fine, but my computer is getting even worse audio/video stutters. Would a windows reset help? Also I have noticed that “system interrupts” is at 80-100% CPU usage when opening task manager but it quickly goes away. another update: just got a BSOD saying “Driver Power State Failure”. So it is a problem with drivers? update again: I installed some AMD drivers which seems to very much helped the stutters but my computer is still slow. In overwatch, the game says I am getting 200-250 FPS but it feels like I am getting 30. I made sure it wasn’t a vsync problem. I then tried opening Escape from Tarkov to see if I had similar issues, but upon attempting to open the game, I got met with a BSOD saying “Page Fault In Nonpaged Area”.

I can’t find hardware acceleration in windows, I don’t think I have it. The one in chrome is off.

I decided I should just revert the clocks for now as I didn’t exactly have performance issues before, I was just trying to squeeze out a bit extra. Well, I booted up my PC after that and it was getting major video/audio stutters, so I ran the Windows Memory Test after doing some searching and it did say my memory was bad. I then tested each ram stick alone in each slot, and I would still get the exact same video/audio stutters. I was wondering if this could actually be a CPU or motherboard problem, (or even something else), as I don’t want to spend 200$ on new ram just to find out that it doesn’t fix anything. I’ve tried updating all of my drivers so I don’t think that is the problem, but at the same time every issue I’ve run across seems like it’s either caused by bad ram or bad drivers. I should mention; the CPU and motherboard are fairly new, about 6 months old. 2 of the ram sticks are 1 year old and 2 of them are 3 years old. I’ve had no issues at all with them before this though.
