Hi everyone!
This is something that has been bugging me for a while now. I've been getting completely random unexplainable FPS drops while gaming. I've tried all sorts of methods, including going to the forums specific to my PC's parts, but nothing seemed to do the trick. For the most part, the drops seem to follow a pattern, that being dropping all the way down to precisely 30 FPS and stabilizing there for around 5 seconds. This is especially weird because they happen regardless of whether the game is demanding or not. For example, I usually get, at the very least, 100+ FPS in Overwatch High Settings, but the same drops occur with everything set to Low. Assistance would be very much appreciated!

This started only recently, however. Thus, I don't believe these factors to be the underlying cause. Does anything else come to mind?
