After having built a brand new computer I am running into an issue where my GPU (and sometimes CPU) performance and power usage drop. What is strange is that the screen will continue with video however I will be unable to change input. For example if I am strafing and shooting in a game and this issue occurs i can let go of my mouse and keyboard entirely and will continue moving and shooting for a second or 2.
My Specs:
ASUS Prime Z370-A
I7 8700k
MSI Geforce GTX 1080ti DUKE
Gskill Flare X 16GB DDR4 SDRAM 3200 MHz
Corsair 850W p2 80+ platinum PSU
Samsung 860 EVO SSD
Seagate 4TB 6Gb/s HDD
Windows 10
CPU runs at about 30-60%. GPU ranges from 20-80% (depending on game but runs consistently other than these drops).
The problem occurs more the longer the computer is on.
According to all sensors this is not thermal throttling.
Restarting the computer will stop the problem for a while.
When the problem becomes more frequent it will occur using programs other than games.
When doing CPU and GPU stress tests after a restart the problem does not occur.
I have done windows RAM tests and Memtestx86 and both have not found any errors.
It seems the problem occurs when both the SSD and HDD are plugged in as well as just when the SSD is.
I have tested with another power supply and still seemed to have the issue.
I have run the GPU in another machine and DID NOT have the issue.
I have done a fresh install of windows and still had the issue.
I am not sure where to go from here or what to do next so any advice would be appreciated.
