Random Fps drops 119>10-20 Csgo, TF2 unplayable even on low settings.

Rats. I still think it has something to do with the way the game is handling hyperthreading/multiple cores. (since it plays nice with the Task Manager open). I'm guessing the game is patched to the latest version? The only other thing I can think of right now is deleting the game's config file and letting it re-detect your graphics setup. Also, check your NVidia cards graphics setting and make sure you don't have any forced settings (i.e. go with the "use application settings" instead of "override")

Tried what you said with the Nvidia settings, but they weren't forced already. TF2 and CS:GO are both currently up to date. ( I've noticed if a steam window is loading, and I drag it, the fps also drops to 12-13, with no game running.)

Can you disable the Steam overlay for TF2? (by right-clicking on TF2 in the Steam game list and selecting "Properties.")

I meant on my desktop. My games library for example, if loading, the cursor will lag when on top of it. Or if I move the window it will also lag about.

Here's what I'm talking about..

My Pc is so slow its nearly unusable in or out of game. (While task manager is closed.)

I did a clean re-install of steam.

I've used Malware bytes, Avast, Hijack this, Adwcleaner, JRT, and Ccleaner/defraggler. There is no malware on my system, (unless it's a conhost.exe trojan, or dwm.exe trojan, or something.) I'm using a i5 Processor. I know it's bad, but I was playing Battlefield 4 on high settings, with Steam, Teamspeak, and other programs opened, it ran pretty smoothly. It began one day out of the blue, about 2 weeks ago.

I have the exact same problem as you knoxy. It just came out of the blue, I have tried a few different things to try to fix it and even though it seems to run fine with task manager open I really want to find the root cause as something is clearly not right. I even formatted my pc hoping that would solve it but to no avail. If you find a fix please let me know.

I will let you know if I find anything, but help is really slow right now. :/
