Please help guys, i've been trying to solve this problem by all myself but i think that i needed your help guys.

My Specification are

A10-5800k
Inno 3D GTX 750 TI OC 2GB
12GB RAM
Biostar a58mdp
500GB SATA
FSP HEXA 600W

My problems is that when i run any of my games ,the FPS is always decreasing Drastically and it makes the game unplayable. I know that my specs are qualify to run the games smooth but unfortunately it can't. I already tried to reinstall the driver,tried to clean my PC, formatted it and bought the right PSU needed but unexpectedly it won't run the way i want it to be.

There are many reasons why I think gaming on an APU is a bad idea... First, pretty much all AMD chips suffer from low IPC, meaning that a chip running at 3GHz may feel like 2.3GHz because of the amount of cycles that aren't being taken advantage of. There was a study done on that here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/processor-architecture-benchmark,2974.html

Second, An APU has graphics cores built in that don't game all that well by themselves. You can buy a graphics card and put it in dual graphics with your APU (assuming your board supports dual graphics), but there isn't really much choice in the matter of deciding which GPU to put in dual graphics because APUs are designed to be in dual graphics with cards up to the R7 260.

In this cases I recommend using a software like MSI Afterburner, for logging in the background, it helps a lot for troubleshooting,
A screenshot of it could be useful, like this one:

I have the suspicion that it could be caused by your cpu, but I'm not sure it could also be cause by an unstable GPU that switches to safe mode, It has happened to me a lot of times when overclocking and even in some stock OC cards

I captured these while playing a game, what do you think the problems guys?

Which game were you playing?

The game seems very CPU dependent, so your CPU seems to be bottlenecking your performance during the beginning, would have been great that you have included the FPS graph.

However, after a while it looks that there is a huge drop in both CPU and GPU usage is this moment when the problem shows?

After the drop of CPU usage, memory usage and pagefile goes up, some software could be doing this, maybe a disk defragmenter or something alike, effectively interrupting the work of your CPU and maybe positioning itself in a high priority state.

For the moment I recommend looking for anything that has a high memory consumption aside from your game, look for it in the Windows Task Manager, in its Processes tab, looks for its priority doing right click on it and in set priority, you will be able to see and change the priority.

This is just to test if that what is causing it and if changing its priority helps, could be even the windows updates.
 


Judging by how high your CPU usage is compared to GPU usage, I think that your CPU is holding back your GPU. I never recommend trying to game on an APU. Also, the 750 ti really isn't that powerful of a card. It's budget friendly, yes, but it's lacking in the raw power that many a gamer are looking for.

In other words, the cards that can be put in dual graphics are rather underwhelming and lacking in raw power.

Third, APUs (like most AMD CPUs) will drop down to half of their cores when they boost up to their turbo frequencies. This means that you're stuck with either having many slower cores or half that amount of faster cores. This just makes me think AMD really doesn't care about gamers.
