My pc specs

i3 3220
saphhire hd 7870 xt ( driver version : 13.9)
seasonic m12ii 500w
8gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz
wd caviar blue 500gb
asus p8b75m-lx

My problem is that freezes and stuttering only occurs in source games like tf2 , dota ,cs go and gmod..I had already uninstall and install my gpu drivers for about 5 times and nothing changed. The stuttering became more worse when i updated my drivers to the latest version( amd catalyst 13.11 ). My cpu and gpu usage and temperature seems to be fine but my cpu and gpu usage strangely become very very very unstable in tf2 but not in the other source games that i had mentioned. I had also tried to play my games in windowed mode but nothing changed either.I had also i tried turning v-sync on which made the game stutter very badly. I thought that it might be a ram issue so i ran memtest86 and figured out that there was no error in my memory. I also had defragged my hard drive(i do this once a month). I want to know what causes the freezes..PLS HELP!!
 
Solution
have you checked that your mb running the newest bios to rule out a bios bug?? in the bios your ram set to xmp profile??
run gpu-z see if the gpu read right??? checked to see if the gpu vendor dropped a firmware update???
