Everytime i play a game like For Honor or PUBG i get sound stuttering and sort of stuttering in my fps but it says my fps is stable at like 30
When i close google chrome (i always have like 20 tabs open) it helps a bit but after 5 mins it gets worse again
I tried low settings didnt help, redownloading driver didnt help,
I use an external hard drive thats pretty old because one of my partitions doesnt work anymore and the other one is full max i can get is 20 gb so i cant try if its really the hard drive.

Specs: intel core i7-4710HQ
16gb ram
Nvidia GTX 860M
Windows 8

is your cpu overheating? If you constantly have 20 or so tabs open, and when you close them it helps a bit that could be the issue, try running a game and let us know what temps your cpu is reaching.

96 Degrees C is extremely hot, you should be at 70C MAX, there could be something wrong with your CPU cooler, along with you may need to re-add thermal paste. I don't know if this is entirely causing your issues, but it could be a large part of it.
