When I am playing CSGO I never used to lose frames, but ever since a few days ago, yes all the drivers and game is up to date, I started to lose frames going from 160+ fps drop down to 25-40 fps when I look or shoot at someone. Any ideas why? I tried to delete and redownload the game and it didnt work

Verify Game Files
Clutching at straws here, but have you tried 'Verifying Integrity of Game Cache'? Not sure if this will help but worth a shot:
Steam article on how to do this:

Console Command
Found this on a reddit thread:
Another Possible Fix
You may have to enter this command every time you play but at least at makes the game playable.
Sound Drivers
I know it sounds strange but the game may be having trouble loading the sounds in game, ensure that your sound drivers are all up to date
External software
If you are running any external software that affects sound or maybe software that captures gameplay, try playing the game without it and see if that helps.
Summary
This seems like an issue that will pop up for people for hundreds of different reason so my advice, if none of these work, is to just take a look around at different forums and articles, try all of the different fixes and hope for the best.
Hope I helped, good luck.
