Hello,
Sometimes I run my computer and everything goes fine but sometimes I get a lag spike every 1.5 seconds. It' s only for a milisecond but it is annoying. Image and sound stop working at this time. I don't know where is the problem.

CPU: Intel Core i5 4460 @ 3.20GHz

have a look at the windows event viewer as well. Any errors logged?

use memtest.org usb autoinstaller and boot from the created bootable usb flash drive

check the other SSD and HDD with its manufacturer´s tool too,

on which drive is windows installed and where the game which crashes?

I had this same prob a while back and this little util narrowed it down..
Open it up and watch and see what is loading when it happens..

When I run prime95 CPU temperature is 60°C and GPU temperature is from 57°C to 60°C.
Windows system integrity check shows everything is OK.

I can' t try it now because the computer is fine. But thank you for your advice. I will try if it will do it again
