So ive been having this issue ever since ive started upgrading my pc, Havent really noticed when it started or what caused it but in most games, including on my desktop at normal use, my pc starts stuttering and freezing about every full second, my specs are pretty okay for todays games so im not really sure what's causing the stutter and it has been driving me nuts.
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit (10.0, Build 17134)

CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 @ 3.20 GHz

GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070

HDD: 2TB WDC WD10EALX-229BA1

SSD: 240GB P3-256

RAM: 2X 4GB DDR3 Ram (Couldnt find out which brand made it)
PSU: Element Smart EP-750S 750W Power Supply

MOBO: Gigabyte Technology Co, Ltd. H81M-S2PV

 

The issue usually occures after a while of using the computer and its just odd that i have an alright pc with up to 300-400 FPS in most games but i get stutter even if no background services are running - I'll be glad to get some help out because it got me so frustrated over the last couple days of trying to figure out if its memory issues, a faulty/old driver, i dont even know.

Thank you in advance, Max.

Go in Task Manager and see if any of the devices are running near or at 100%.

Everything seems to be running alright, RAM stable at ~40%
No idea on what's happening with the CPU
Weird spikes on the main Driver -

300-400 FPS

On what? a 60hz monitor? obviously it will stutter the fps is in no way sync'ed with the monitor's refresh rate.

Drawing 6 different frames per refresh must be interesting

BenQ XL2430T 144 Hz Monitor - I believe its not the case.

things you can do are:

 

DDU in safe mode and reinstall gpu drivers fresh new.

 

Double check on that memory configuration, if it's running on dual channel, what frequency and timings it is at.

 

Check the healthiness of your boot drive

 

Look for thermal throttling

 

*These are the most likely causes for stuttering given what you informed

It could just be the CPU creating the stutter. Have you tried capping the fps to 144?

Thing is, as presented in the video above, its on the desktop aswell as in games.

Unless there's a magical way to cap desktop frames to 144 FPS, I dont know if its CPU Load on gaming that's affecting the stutter.

Im a real tech newbie so that was chinese to me, Ill try to search up all the terms online (DDU, Dual channel, boot drive healthiness and thermal throttling), try the steps above and ill update. Thank you!

Try older driverset from Nvidia.

Cleaned and reinstalled all Graphics Drivers, Checked status of boot drive and it said ti was good, No idea on how to check thermal throttling and about the CPU, if that helps tell you something i didnt already ill be glad for an explanation - https://gyazo.com/93a4713f8ec0fd278c850ded1c11cb4b

Edit: Checked further into it and it is running on Dual Channel.

Edit #2: Im dumb as hell, Gave you CPU stats.
Here's the memory stats - https://gyazo.com/aa91cca4f040debf2528677befa3463c

CPU seems to be okay, you can check throttling on it using Intel's XTU program, could you also link the memory tab of CPU-z?

 

What did you use to check the SSD?

Added a screenshot in an edit i made to my last comment,

for the main boot drive i put a command in cmd chkdsk(space)C: /f

Try CrystalDiskMarK for the SSD as well.

 

Memory looks fine, do you think your OS in good state?

Alright, So ive ran a couple tests, used CrystalDiskMarK and here are the results:
https://gyazo.com/86ee70f8dccffc3613d53dda04f4cfaf

Also used the intel Extreme Tuning Utility tool and have got an issue, well first i ran a stress test:

https://gyazo.com/291e2e68bd453655ed6e9ad53db9fa31

and then tried to run a benchmark but it didnt seem to do anything, started loading and then just stopped without any feedback:

From all I can see you don't have a hardware issue, your stuttering is caused by a software issue.

 

When you said you reinstalled the GPU drivers did you do the DDU in safe mode procedure? your issue is software wise which is harder to troubleshoot, if the GPU drivers are in order then it could be just about anything conflicting with Windows.

I have, Also i havent checked if the stuttering have stopped since.

Ill run a check with a few games and ill get back to you. 

If its still occuring what do you reckon I should do? Run a virus/malware scan? Format my drives? anything else you have in mind?

Okay it seems to be gone for the time i played the game but as soon as i launch youtube + facebook it starts happening again.
Any idea why any of those chrome tabs shit on my entire setup?

Edit: Narrowed it down to Facebook -  the only tab to completely kill my performence. why is that happening?

This sometimes happens when a UWP app is being rendered at the same time as a game across multiple monitors. This may be of some help? 
Wonder if its the videos that autoplay on facebook?
