Problem Details:
Alright, so basically, I would say every 10-15+ seconds I get a random video freeze (not the background video, osu! itself, but the audio doesn't freeze) and this is causing me to fail combos and to enjoy my gameplay. Some of those freezes are pretty small and "endurable" but some are huge and completely ruining the fun. It seems to be my CPU having some spikes randomly, but they are only about 10% higher than when I play osu!. I have put a link to a video showing the lag.
Some backstory :
I've been playing osu! for at least a year on this laptop and never had any problems, any lags or whatever. For about 3 months, I've been suffering from these stuttering/freezes and I stopped playing as much as I used to, only because of this game-ruining problem. I've done my research on this kind of problem, and none of the solutions I have found worked. My laptop is running on two partitions, I've tried installing osu! on the "osu!-not-installed" partition and the problem was still occuring. I tried uninstalling the game, but there was still a problem. I've tried running the game on every mode possible (compatibility using every options, running as admin) and I still had the lags. I've tried to change the game options and nothing helped. I have tried to disable every processes / useless services to see if some interfered with osu!, but that also was not the cause.
Video time tags are in the description of the video so you can jump right before it happens and also so you can actually see the frequence of which it happens.
Here are the specs :
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ 2.60GHz
RAM : 12.0 GB
System : Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Graphics : Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M
I'm running on High Performance whether or not my laptop is plugged (it's always plugged anyway).

Edit: I also forgot to mention that this is the only game that has ever done that. Ever.
osu! version: 20170103.2 (latest)
