So I don't know a lot about computers in detail, but I know briefly about my Intel Graphics card, and my Intel graphics drivers. So these lag spikes started when I tried updating to windows 10, but then halfway I stopped and reverted it because I changed my mind. Since then, I've been getting huge lag spikes at random times. It could be when I'm playing a Steam game, or even when I'm just watching youtube. I believe that it is my drivers causing the problem because during the lag spikes, whatever I'm doing will run at less than 1 Frame per second, and the audio will also lag. So could this be the audio drivers playing up as well? And also, halfway through these lag spikes, the screen will go black, and then a few seconds later will come back and it will notify me that "the Intel display driver was not responding, and has been successfully recovered", though the lag spikes continue.
I have 8GB Ram
Windows 8
I have updated all my drivers with Intel(R) driver update utilities
