Lag spikes in most games after blue screen

[Nightz]

I had a grey screen which i believe may have been a blue screen which didn't load correctly but it was just grey and wouldn't do anything so i restarted my pc and after I have felt as if games have started to have fps spikes, its just so random.
Specs:
I7 7700K
ASUS STRIX 1080
16GB 2400MHZ
1TB SSD

I have reinstalled games and it still occurs, some games such as fortnite isn't that bad, but games like csgo and rocket league have noticable drops and also minecraft... I don't know what to do? Could the blue/grey screen affected my computer? if so whats parts? Should i reinstall windows?

I have the latest drivers.

If you had a faulty cpu or gpu, you wouldn't even be able to play games. The system would be crashing all the time or having issues just booting properly.

Been playing and fps seems better with a lot less drops, drops seem to only occur like loads if something like chrome is open on my second monitor, this never used to do this. Going to get new ram soon (want faster ram personally and can sell my old ram so i only spend like £30 on the new ram) Got a feeling its not my gpu but either my cpu or ram, but i doubt my cpu would be faulty as faulty cpu's are hard to get under normal use so ill update when i get new ram

Yea if you have a Z270 board look at 3200 for RAM

I have a Asus maximus viii z170 updated bios to support 7th gen, when doing userbenchmark tests ram and cpu are under performing so I have a feeling it's one of the two personally, going to set games to high priority tomorrow and see if it's good with chrome open

Update, testing more has showed that lag spikes seem to only occur when chrome is open, only a couple without chrome open. Going to reinstall chrome and also if that doesn't work switch to mozilla or something and see if its the same
EDIT still does it without chrome open :(
EDIT does lag a lot like a lot less when chrome is not open

Here's a user benchmark showing that everything is performing either as expected or above, very strange :/

Just close everything, run nothing in the background and then launch steam via run as admin, then you game.

Have you disabled all the Win10 junk?

I think you have miss understood the question and whats happening, my pc aint blue screening at all, its just games are stuttering at times, i noticed this stuttering after a blue screen. I am not getting blue screen <----

When did I say anything about blue screens?

My whole point was to get rid of whatever runs on your PC in the background to see if it's some background stuff that's causing all your issues.

I haven't really installed anything recently, looking at task manager shows that playing fortnite my cpu gets max 70% and will mostly hover at like 60 - 65%, gpu at 40% and memory at half. Doesn't look like anything is using loads of resources.. Not sure what it could be, user benchmark shows that the cpu, ram and gpu are working well. Not sure what could be the issue here. I get stutters on fortnite, feel as if this was here before the blue screen that seemed to cause all games to stuters

Test with benchmarks then.

I've got 3200 mhz ram coming monday, not sure if ram is the problem read that bad ram wouldn't really cause stuttering, but i've been wanting faster speeds so its the right time to test.
After if this doesn't fix it which i doubt i am going to factory reset my pc just incase something is slowing it down.

Just noticed fortnite is making my cpu go to like 90%!!! gpu is at 40% don't get why cpu usage is so high, this is only at times mostly its at 70%, in rocket league it's like 20% cpu and 30% gpu so idk, seems to get worse throughout the day until I restart or switch the computer off

If you had faulty ram, just general everyday use of your OS would be problematic. Throwing all sorts of errors at you, blue screen, random lock ups and/or reboots, etc.

Without seeing your PC in action in person, it's always hard to say why you have these stutters in games. Again that's why I suggest you boot your OS with as little startup and background stuff as possible, as a means of testing to see if that is in any way a factor towards your overall gaming performance.

I am going to factory reset my PC when I get the ram, I have noticed lags in chrome when watching videos at times alrough these are rare, chrome doesn't use gpu when watching videos so we could cross that off?
EDIT: Noticed that although chrome doesn't use gpu in task manager, runtime process does show gpu is being used when watching a video, around 8% Also noticed that after playing games for a while the drops become more frequent, the longer my pc is on or the longer i have played games for since i turned it on can affect how much drops i get i think.
Also would benchmarks be able to show causes of stuttering? Quite new to benchmarking sorry.
i have also noticed that my cpu is at 4.49ghz even with only 20% used while playing rocket league, surely turbo boost shouldnt kick in? When not in game it settles. When in chrome and opening multiple streams it can go to like 30% but only goes to 4.07ghz.. it seems to stick to 4.07 ghz and 4.49ghz, never seen it go to 4.2ghz and 4.5ghz, Should i turn on high performance mode in power options to keep speeds the same

My cpu is turbo boosting to 4.49ghz at like 50% usage?? surely it boosts at 100% only? and why is it not hitting 4.50 ghz, maybe my cpu is the problem as it isn't clocking correctly?

I've noticed something that may be useful finding out what causes these drops, when playing modern warfare which takes 0 gpu and like 70% cpu and 60% memory i have noticed no drops that i can tell, although i will test this more to ensure this, could this mean the gpu is the issue? I still have warranty on this gpu till september
EDIT: I just tested rl with chrome open and no noticable drop. will keep testing, if rocket league starts lagging ill test warzone and if that lags it means it could be most likely be not the gpu thats causing lags and if it doesn't then it could be the gpu thats causing lags on other games.. will keep updated and still going to upgrade ram and factory reset windows
The 0% gpu may be wrong many threads saying warzone isn't reading the gpu correctly, temps go up on the gpu so guessing it does use the gpu, haven't seen many fps spikes today though
