Frame skipping every 3 seconds with all types of video playback

[haunt3datk]

Hi guys,

I've come to a technical standpoint with my current issue, as I am usually the tech guru with the friends and family, I don't have anybody else to turn to when I can't fix the issue.

When I'm watching any form of video playback, no matter what resolution, if I'm online streaming, watching a film I've downloaded or even playing video games on any setting high or low, I seem to get an fps frame drop all the way to 1fps for half a second or so in intervals of around 3-4 seconds. This has happened all of a sudden with no indication of what has caused this.

I have updated every kind of software you can think of and all drivers for my graphics cards, I even used driver booster to help me update bits I maybe forgotten about. around a 1-1.5 years ago I did overclock my pc and it was my very first time overclocking and I thought this was the issue with the extra strain on my pc, but i went into my bios and reverted all back to default but this did not resolve my issue.

I have kindly created a HTML file containing my computers full specs as courtesy of CPU-Z, please find the specs hosted on my own website I manage for a pub by clicking here


I do believe this may be an issue with the temperature of my cpu cores by unfortunately my technical ability will only allow me to identify software issues, not hardware 🙁

If anybody could help me resolve this issue i would be greatly appreciative and love you for ever and what-not!

ok, i note that this report was done pc idle? or under load?

idle temp 60? thats a little high if you 'unclocked' it. should be 40 or less imo.

use HWMonitor to live report when you have your movie running to see if the temps spike and its cpu throttling / gpu throttling

Hey, thank you for responding,

I can confirm that my stats i originally posted were whilst my system was idle.

Whilst under load playing "portal 2" which is hardly the most demanding game the maximum temperature my cpu cores reached was 95 degrees, whilst my GPU was maximum 76.

My fans inside the case did a maximum of 51% during this time, maybe i should look potentially to increase that to make it cooler, or time to invest in a water cooling system?

well, its not thermal throttle if youre parts are running under 100. but still 60 whilst idle seems a little 'off' to me, have you re-applied any thermal paste recently? maybe a re-paste is in order.

you have tried readyboost at all? may lessen the buffering youre getting, i believe you are getting buffer load. pc processing info faster than your hdd is supplying (or RAM). hdd > RAM > cpu/gpu
you have run a harddrive program to check for errors? a RAM check program to check for errors?
