PC randomly experiences 0.5 FPS

[JunaTah]

As of recent being on windows 11 (god help me wish i didn't) my PC randomly drops to insanely low FPS, stuttering when the PC experiences high loads, it's not until i press the graphic driver reset keybind that after a few seconds it fixes itself, could be my GPU or could be Windows 11, i figured i'd ask.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
48gb DDR4 Ram
Nvidia RTX 3070 8gb

You've mentioned resetting the graphics driver but have you checked for drivers updates or done any other form of troubleshooting?

Does it ever happen during states when applications or the system itself idles?

i have checked for up to date drivers, i know windows 11 used to complain when booting that it couldn't load perticular drivers but it was a common issue that ended up with people suggesting to disable something in windows, been some time now.

nope, only when the PC is at it's limits, i think it does it when the CPU is at it's limits? seems to be it most the time but could be wrong.

Have you monitored any other behavior when this happens, including your personal observations? Outside of that are you using any monitoring software like HWInfo? Also did you recently move to windows 11 from windows 10?

not perticularly, i only notice it happening when playing some computational heavy games like transport fever 2 and even blender at times.
dont use any monitoring software other than task manager which i never opened while it was experiencing these odd frame drops.
moved to windows 11 around when the support for 10 was supposed to end.

I would strongly recommend you try having HWInfo in the background. You don’t even have to use its logging features. You can just peak at it when it happens. 
 

Outside of that, it does sound like something it might have to do with your migration to Windows. I have seen this happen a lot. Unfortunately, the best remedy has been to clean install Windows. In some cases, I’ve had to update the BIOS. I don’t think any drivers or power settings will fix this as they never have in this situation. If you want to try a Hail Mary instead of a clean install, there is a way to force windows to reinstall itself from the web without eliminating your other files. All it does is redownload the core windows files. However, I find this rarely works too. Best bet is clean install Windows. If it’s not that, then it will be hardware troubleshooting time or coincidence with current windows version being crappier than usual. 
 

p.s. if you are clean installing be sure you either saved your license key or have your license associated with your Microsoft account. You may also want to download your wireless drivers on a usb just in case. Let me know if you need help doing any of these steps.

Just to sanity check, you aren't gaming and running blender at the same time right? That's will absolutely cause these kinds of issues especially if you're rendering. Most I can do while working on render is Minecraft. 

I know this may seem like a dumb question, still have to ask it.

Going to second this also. Definitely get some kind of hardware monitoring, the problem will usually become pretty apparent after you monitor it for a little.

Let me know what you end up doing, I would like to know how this pans out :3
