Stuttering Problems and FRAPS error 8 (DirectX 9)

[dlingdling11]

I have a Dell Inspiron 7567 with an i5 7300HQ, GTX 1050ti, and 8GB of RAM. Before this steam error, I was playing Doom on mostly 1080p Ultra settings with 80-100fps and Rise of the Tomb Raider on Medium to High 1080p settings with 60-70fps.

So I use to have to have stuttering and fps problems, but now I have just stuttering problems. The problem was that something in the steam overlay or GeForce experience overlay messed with the game performance for some reason. This started to fix both the issues, but now the stuttering issues and now when I try to FRAPS for the fps counter and gives me an "error 8" because DirectX 9 is downloaded which makes no sense because it was working before.

Sorry if this story is kind of wishy-washy and all over the place it's just that this stuttering problem has always been a problem since a month after I got the laptop. All I remember is that when I downloaded PS4 controller support the problems started to happen. Although, it's been fixed a couple of times the problem always came back. It's not the laptop's fault as I may have deleted something in the file config. or something by accident. Although this problem has seemed to be fixed from time to time it always comes back. The good news is that the GeForce experience overlay with fps counter doesn't give me terrible stuttering as it used to before. My game still stutters, but it wasn't affected by the overlay.

Sorry if this story makes no sense. I have dealt with this stuttering for a while that the start of these beginning moments of this problem is now in a blur. I still get good fps it's just the stuttering is bad. Any help would be appreciated and thank you for reading this all the way.

P.S. If I should post what my last problem was from my other discussion. Let me know. Thanks
