The Speccy shows an iffy HDD.

1. S.M.A.R.T under C5 is concerning. I'd clone it to a new HDD before total loss.
About 55 bucks on newegg or amazon here.

2. The issue with the HDD could cause frame rate drops. Sometimes you can see this in Task Manager under the Performance, Disk displays.

3. Windows 8.1. At the office last week we used the last known path to upgrade to W10. But your choice here. If this was mine, I'd take that last chance upgrade after the HDD issue is fixed.

4. Java. Uninstall if you don't know why it's installed.

5. Power Profile. Since your PC is having issues, try all these set to never till it's fixed.

6. WildTangent Games. If you don't use these, uninstall.

7. Gyazo. Until the issue is resolved, uninstall since it can dog performance.

8. Temperatures for GPU, CPU seem a little high for this short a run time. Are you keeping up your monthly canned air to the vent routine?

Pretty clean speccy, the HDD looks iffy and would need to be swapped to see if that's it. Gyazo since it deals with screen capture should definitely go since you can remove, reboot and retest.

Finally you may want to check if the game happens to be on the Intel graphics by mistake.

But everything is on low

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention I have everything on the lowest settings. And my nvidia GeForce experience drivers are up to date.

Your hdd is going south.
Get a new one quick and hope that you can clone out before it fails.

Look at smart 'c5'.
