CPU and GPU drops to 0% usage while gaming every some seconds:

Solid State Drive
Do not de-frag the SSD drive. I am trying to warn you.
If you have a regular hard drive (not SSD), you CAN de-frag.

If you have windows 10, this may not be applicable.
But windows 7 and earlier : you can do this.


Actually, 4GB RAM is quite a bit, when you use it at the intended speed.
Unfortunately, the default power settings dumb-down the possible speed of the computer.

Antivirus: set for "multimedia mode."
This prevents updating from interrupting your media. If you do not have an antivirus with this feature: get a different antivirus.
Set ALL updates to: manual. This prevents an update from eating resources that you would otherwise be using.

Free antivirus from internet: I do not recommend that you install any "free" security tools.
I do not recommend installing "cleaner," "sweeper," "driver helper,"or any free junk from the internet.

Avoid any download which claims to "fix" your computer.

I recommend that you use a professional all-in-one security application - not a free download.

Please consider, when you install multiple security programs, they can conflict with each-other. That's why you should use "all-in-one" pofessional security.
Restart the computer
Open Bios
Turn off Cool and Quiet (if AMD processor) Save and exit bios settings.
Restart Computer
Problems should be fixed now.
