Question / Help Sudden extreme spiking while streaming

I've been streaming for years, was streaming today, went afk for 10-15 mins, took stream off afk screen and back to my csgo game capture. When I tab back into cs, I start getting fps drops and constant "var" in my net_graph above 8-10. Which seems to make my game extremely skippy, my game feels like a slideshow. I can't get it to stop!

Never had this problem before, tried lowering settings, tried running malware scan, obviously tried restarting pc. I have no idea what it could be. Had a perfectly smooth stream all day, never changed anything, come back and my game is unplayable while streaming.
 
It's happening for all my games and is just making them absolutely unplayable. As I said, like a slideshow.
 
I have narrowed it down to having to do with my second monitor. For some reason, if I have anything running on the second monitor (teamspeak,twitch chat) my games start skipping insanely. It seems things like obs logs/txt doesn't make it lag?

EDIT: apparently its not just games that it lags, but my entire computer, having anything on the second monitor makes my whole computer choppy.
