Recently (in the past week or so), my tf2 has started getting periodic frame drops to around 2fps (I can pretty much expect to get this at least once per half hour game). These frame drops last around 1-2 minutes, then everything settles down and I get my standard fps
Would any of you have any idea of what the problem might be?
extra details that may be useful:
-cpu and gpu temperature stay normal
-cpu usage goes up to around 98% during fps drops (from around 40)
-gpu usage drops down to 2-8%
-when I alt tab out, everything else lags too

Have you set the priority on the task manager for tf2 to anything different from normal?

Maybe you have some other weird program that's making this happen ?
Also what is your CPU, GPU?

Droodl3Have you set the priority on the task manager for tf2 to anything different from normal?
I've not changed anything, to my understanding. A while back i rolled my drivers back to be able to run in dx8 without flashing, but lagging didn't start until later. regardless, when switching back to dx9 with the latest drivers, the problem has not been resolved
Out of interest, what would changing the priority affect? I could try changing that to see if it fixes it perhaps.

This also occurs when I've closed every program but tf2. Also specs in image below.

For some weird reason your DDR3 ram's frequency is at 533..
Best thing I could say for now is maybe you should try to run a defraggment.
Maybe there is some file which is messing with your performance.
Localdisk, right-click, properties, tools.
I wouldn't recommend changing priorities much, from what I have understood, if you have like a mouse which is run with drivers it 'might' mess with other things just so your one thing could get a higher priority. I might be wrong with this :S

maybes its 1066 in which case the bus clock would be 533? idk

it could be your graphics card overheating?

I thought that too, but the temperature stays constant during the FPS drops

run hwmonitor and check during the fps drop to see ur temps. I have that cpu i recently put on some good thermal paste it doesn't ever go past 55C and i don't experience drops.

That's what I used to check temperature, it stays around 57-60 during the fps drops, so it wouldn't seem to be temperature related.
Also @raiku I defragged my C: drive and the fps drops are still ocurring
