    BF4 FPS drops to almost 0 at random intervals, GPU at 135MHz during this.

    So, I am back again. 2 years later (almost 3), I see I never marked this as "fixed" Well from memory I bit the bullet and bought a new motherboard and CPU. The problem has vanished. I believe the fix was the CPU, I live in a hot climate and perhaps the CPU was damaged slightly and didn't...

    BF4 FPS drops to almost 0 at random intervals, GPU at 135MHz during this.

    Okay here we have some real time values of when BF4 is lagging. https://ibb.co/jguQMa And here is 30 seconds after when it is running smoothly again. https://ibb.co/fRvMuv Note the differences in CPU load and GPU load, as well as the relative temps for each. Can anyone interpret these and...

    BF4 FPS drops to almost 0 at random intervals, GPU at 135MHz during this.

    Okay. So for some reason now, when it lags and the FPS drops to almost 0... the program GPU-Z says the GTZ 970 is still running at 1200+ MHz. Before it would drop to 135MHz, but that seems to have gone but the drop in fps every minute still persists.

    BF4 FPS drops to almost 0 at random intervals, GPU at 135MHz during this.

    Computer screen goes black, power and fans still running

    I've recently had an overheating issue, computer would shut off completely. I have had this PC for a while now, maybe just over a year. This overheating issue happened a few times before I replaced the heatsink, fan and thermal paste with a better one. Computer runs perfectly for regular tasks...

    Power outage, computer now cannot connect to the Internet. Tried almost everything.

    HERE IS THE ANSWER! Ok, so by disconnecting my PC and connecting it to a WIRED network WITHOUT the use of the power adapter, I deduced that my network card is fine and my home network is working correctly. So, the problem MUST be the adapter in my wall. I followed the steps to RESET my...

    Power outage, computer now cannot connect to the Internet. Tried almost everything.

    Last night my power went off in my house for a few seconds while using the PC. The computer automatically restarted and prompted me if I wanted to 'Start windows normally' and I said 'yes'. Since logging in I cannot connect to the Internet but another PC in my house can (I think it was off...

    can i play batman arkham origins ?

    I have doubts. The RAM and CPU are okay for min requirements, but your graphics card seems iffy. The graphics card doesn't seem to match the min requirements, but it could still work with slight (bad) effects.

    Pls help: Dell vostro shuts down randomly even when case temperature is normal

    Woah. That's very hot for a poor GPU, I suggest a using a heatsink and thermal paste for the GPU. It should idle at about 40C and reach about MAX mid 70s at extended games.

    Battlefield3 full screen problem

    Do you by any chance have 'Team Viewer' running? I had problems with full screen because of that. If yes, stop it from running (right click icon and exit) then run Battlefield 3.
