CPU and GPU drop to 0% randomly while playing games, huge frame drops

[joshsweet48]

While I’m playing any game my gpu and cpu will drop down to 0-5% from like 60% or 70% and my frames can go from anything down to 1-10 fps. Sometimes it freezes my game. Lowering the graphics settings doesn’t help at all. It happens pretty often no matter what game I play.

I bought a new power supply and that fixed the problem with my computer shutting down during games.

My specs:

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB GDDR5

CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8100 Eight Core-processor

Motherboard: ASRock 960GM-GS3 FX

8GB RAM

PSU: EVGA 500 watt bronze

Seems like a CPU throttling. Check the CPU temps while gaming. or run a prime95 test and check the CPU usage and temps.
