Games keep freezing for 2-4 seconds

[Rayroez]

Hey guys!

I got these problems when playing world of warcraft and other games atm.

It keeps like freezing for 2-3 seconds and the sound is like scrathing aswell.

Specs;

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz

16278MB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti

Askrock H77 Pro4/MVP motherboard

Just switched my power supply for a XFX 850W

I tried updating everything, old version of drivers, just reinstalled windows completely and it didn't work.

I'm a noob at this, so please ask any questions and i'll try to do my best!
I just really want some help now.

Edit; As i said, i'm new at this, so i'm not sure what information is needed, for you to help me.
Ask me anything!

It seems like sometimes when World Of Warcraft is starting up, it's having a hard time opening it. No idea if that helps anything?

your pc is very good and should be able to run it flawlessly. I suspect it is bad internet... that's probably it. also could be driver issues but most likely internet. try going closer to your router and see if that helps. there is also a small chance of a failing component.

Only thing i can try is changing my internet cable, since my Girlfriends computer got no problems. Thanks for the help! I'll buy a new one asap tommorow to test it out!

I actually just tried to switch my cable out with hers, and it didn't help at all. (

I had a similar problem (playing a game, suddenly the game stops/pauses/freezes for about 1-2 seconds and then continued without a problem). This occured few times during about 30min session. If you think you have the same problem, here was my solution:

My RAM timings were off in my BIOS. First of all, you should check if you have only one type of RAM in your computer. If you have different models or manufacturers, you most likely have this problem. Check the ram model number from the ram stick and google the timings for that model. You should look for 4 numbers (example: 9-9-9-24).

My case was this: I had 2 different ram modules with different set of timings. Other one had 9-9-9-24 and the other had 9-9-9-27. My bios was set to 9-9-9-25. I never even had touched those settings. I removed the 4gb ram module and left the 8gb one inside. Then I adjusted the timings to recommended in bios. Problem solved.

If you have the same case: 1. Check the needed RAM timings. 2. Shut down computer, boot it up again and press the needed key to open bios. 3. Go to AI Tweaker, scroll down to "Dram timings" or something similar. Check that the 4 numbers match with the ones you found from google. If they dont, just change them.
