Since 2 days ago games have extremely low choppy framerates. Before that, there were no problems. I am running Windows 10. Task manager shows CPU(~21%) and RAM(~30%) behaving normally. I suspect it is a problem with the graphics card. Today GPU driver was updated, computer was virus scanned, Windows 10 drivers were updated, Hardware troubleshooter found nothing, Dxdiag and Devices Manager shows that everything is working properly. This made no difference, neither did restarting the computer or disabling/enabling GPU. GPU core clock seems to be continuously stuck at 50MHz, off-load and with load. In fact, all GPU clocks are stuck at constant and low numbers. I have found nothing that could change it. This was not due to overclocking, settings were absolutely stock.
Why is this? How can I fix it? Try to keep it simple, I'm not very good with computer. Just looked into this and learned it today trying to fix this problem. Thanks.

[Also says #Pstates=3, Pstate P0, PstateP8, PstateP12(current). So it could be that I'm stuck in P12??, P12 says GPU:50.5MHz and Mem:135.0 MHz]
*** Strangely, 67.5 * 2 = 135. (GPU-Z rate * 2 = MSI rate)
