Hey everyone. So i have been witnessing this problem for like a whole month now.
AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 555 Processor (2CPUs), ~3.2GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 430
Windows 7 32bit
4GB RAM (DDR III)
ASRock N868C-S UCC
WD Caviard Blue 3.5" 500GB
This PC is now about 10 months old and I haven't been getting any problems with it. But this problem just hit me a month ago. When I play games like NBA2K12 or FIFA12 or any other games with pretty high requirements (which my computer can easily pass) I get a FPS drop after like 4 minutes of gameplay. FPS drops from like 50 to 1-5 for ~10 seconds and switches back to normal for a minute or so. After that minute it drops to 1-5 for like 10 seconds again. But this happens only when I play for like 4mins without any FPS drop. This hasnt been happening to me. I tried reinstalling my windows 7 from 64bit to 32bit, disabling startup programs, programs in task mananger, cleaning dust from the fans, changing graphics of games, but nothing helped. I don't have that fps drop on games like Counter-Strike with low requirements. It runs smooth. But as I said in better games I get that lag even though my PC shouldn't be getting it. Now I played 2K12 and when I minimized it I got these results:
After waiting a couple of seconds my CPU usage drops down to like:
Does that mean that the game is using my whole CPU and thats why I gets major FPS drops? My CPU is 0-4 at idle. Don't really know what to do. Clear PC, no unnecessary programs just the game and I still get those lags. I would appreciate your help.
