Somehow just fixed it through the strangest means possible. I checked my task manager while the game was running and found that "System" was using 100% of my cpu at all times and lagging GTA V out. It was not my real Windows System process and I assume was some part of some malware that got on...

Very strange thing happened. Just ran a virus scan to check if I had any viruses. It caught 20, removed them and restarted to find that now I cannot break 20-25 fps in game. Downloading HDD Sentinel right now, and cant switch anyone's GPU. UPDATE: HDD sentinel says all 3 of my drives are at...

I think it's an issue to do with my graphics card, I tried out single player to see if was just an issue with the online. There was textures not loading in, and some areas totally not loading at all. Im using 1/4 of the memory maximum on my GPU and see no reason for this to happen

Yep, that was in game GTA V, while free roaming, not just in the menu.

I cant do that, the cooler bracket on the back of the motherboard spins endlessly when trying to unscrew it. And the cooler paste has been changed about 6 months ago when I started to have this problem and when the bracket wasnt broken.

I still have yet to find anyone with the same problems as me. Currents specs are: AMD FX 8320 Corsair H55 cooler ASROCK 970m motherboard MSI Geforce 1060 6GB 24 GB PNY Anarchy 1600 1x WD Blue 1TB, Seagate 2TB, and inland 120 GB SSD (boot) The problem is massive fps drops in almost all games...

Fixed it by first uninstalling Nvidia's HDMI Audio drivers, which reduced the rate that the fps dropped by about 75%, then I clowned around in nvidia control panel settings and switched global settings for both "power management mode" and "texture filtering quality" to max performance and...

On asrock's website there is a chipset driver, a lan driver, and an audio driver. The lan driver just installs the audio driver which is weird but I would assume is fine. I have installed all of those. I looked into any sort of other drivers that I'm missing and found nothing. Disabling HPET...

In-game the cpu usage is fine and the thermal margin sits at 20-22 consistently. When the fps drops happen, the thermal margins drop to 18-19 and one or two of my cores usage spikes massively. The rest of the cores stay the same.

I'm running the stress test for longer right now, but I'm unsure how the graphical screen shows more info? It just shows info for that specific second, instead of logging it over time like the other one. EDIT: Here's the results, I took screenshots of both the graphical and the logging. This was...

There is a slight reduction in fps at 3500 mhz, and the drops are still there. I didn't know anything about cooling the VRM, I've never even heard about that being a thing. If you say that the water cooler doesnt, then I guess it doesn't, no idea how I would get any cooler in there to reduce...

https://imgur.com/a/qBi3UyR Here's the thermal margins over a 60 seconds period of running the prime95 fft test. I have a Corsair H55 cooler, which has worked just fine since I got it. It has two fans in a push-pull setup. EDIT: I was just looking around in AMD overdrive and noticed that in...

In idle i'm getting 58c, in game it goes to 60-62c and max is 65c. That looks like it's all in normal temp ranges, is it not?

I have no idea what is causing it, I cant even check it in AMD catalyst control center.
