This started happening only about a month ago and I was assuming it would be fixed after a week or two but it sadly has not been fixed. This happens with CS:GO, TF2, etc. I have reinstalled the games, updated drivers, defragmented my HDD and even after all of that it still happens. I also have the newest bios for my motherboard. My cpu and gpu temps are well in the safe range when playing and this only happens with source engine games.

Any help will be appreciated. All symptoms and pc specs are listed below.

The symptoms
----------------------
~30 minutes of play the game it will randomly stutter FPS and the audio will loop when it happens
Only way to close the game once it starts stuttering is to force shut down my pc
