I'm not sure if this is a PSU problem or not, GPU/CPU/GPUPower spikes to almost 0%.

I had this issue a couple months ago where my GPU usage would spike down to almost 0% causing a massive stutter, everything else seemed to be fine though http://i.imgur.com/nHrhIAr.jpg .  I tried various things like removing OC, reinstalling windows, trying a different video card but nothing seemed to fix it.  Eventually I think the problem went away?  Or I got used to it and never noticed.  But it seems like it's back again but worse.
 
https://i.imgur.com/eULFvHp.png Once in the middle and once near the end before I turn the game off.  GPU, CPU and Power % all fall together.  I'm going to test my memory while I go to sleep, but I'm not sure how i can test other things or what could be the cause.  I don't think it's a loading issue either, my games are installed on a SSD and this happened during a cutscene and during gameplay as I was aiming to shoot someone.

    Could be a graphics driver issue. Try some older drivers. Could be a sign of a failing ssd. Move the game to a different storage device and retest for the issue. It's definitely not a psu issue.

    I've tried removing OC and different drivers, I'll move the game to my HDD and see what happens.

    Do you notice the issue in other games?

    +1 since it's unlcear if this is just one game or not. It could easily be a buggy game. May be worth trying to specify prefer max performance in Nvidia control panel
