Stuttering after some minutes

[solar]

So basically, what is happening is that every minute my game starts stuttering out of nowhere. This started in TF2, then it started spreading to every Source game I have, like L4D2, GMod, Codename Cure, TF2 2008 Revival, and even Roblox that is NOT a source game. I don't know how to fix it. I already did several discussions about this, but nobody commented on them (only in 2 discussions). Here are my PC specs: (just to you know my pc is VERY VERY OLD AND BAD)



Processor Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz
RAM 4,00 GB
Edition: Windows 10 Pro

The only SPECs you revealed is the cpu, RAM and Windows 10 Pro. The rest of it should be removed as that doesn't help anyone figure out anything.

Your HD might be full, file system corrupted or physically failing.
run the windows disk cleanup tool as admin(there are more checkboxes that way)
and chkdks /F c: (and answer Y to the check on reboot message, and remember to reboot).

Check for windows updates and install until it has no more(might take a reboot or two)
Check your drivers are up to date (video, ethernet, wireless, etc).
After that maybe check for old programs you don't need and uninstall them.
It could also be coincidence you are having problems with these "Source" games. If you ask around for help in each of these games' discussion forums or chatrooms you might get an answer that solves them all.
Good luck!

With the PC specs you mentioned i'm not surprised nobody would have wanted to comment on your other discussions, You need and upgrade mate.

judging by your CPU, your computer is incredibly old. that processor was released in 2008, so i'm surprised it can even launch the game at this point.

as for the stuttering, my bet is you're running out of RAM. the stuttering you experience is Windows resorting to the SWAP file, a kind of backup-memory where data is held on your storage drive instead of RAM. this is incredibly slow and is often a last-resort.

your only option here is a complete system upgrade, i'm afraid. modern RAM you can buy online isn't going to be supported on a motherboard that is at best 16 years old,

oh
