I built my pc 6yrs ago and have never had a problem like this. I started up my game and once it loads, I can run around and do limited things without issue but as soon as I open up an inventory or do anything that would cause a little load spike, the program will go into a little lag moment; sometimes 2 secs and sometimes 20-30secs. So I quit the game and did my normal clean pc, update drivers, defrag, etc restart and everything seems fine, I load up game and still no change, still doing the lag, so I deal with it for a sec and do something important in the game real quick, noting the lagging was getting worse, but when I was done I just stood there and waited for the game to save, and when I came back to quit game it was frozen. I could still pull up my windows hotbar so I right-clicked on app and clicked closed, at this point my whole pc froze and after 30 secs to a minute shutdown and a message displayed something about an over or under current and is shutting down to protect PC.
So at this point I'm freaking out. The pc restarted and everything seems fine but it still has that little lag. I have been trying to organize my music, when I click on a folder to open it 70% of the time it 2-10secs lags, but I can scroll around inside the file and right-click files to look at info only getting a 1-2 secs lag 10% of the time.
You know, as I am writing this I am piecing together that this might have something to do with my phone chargers going bad all the sudden. I have 2 plug ins I use everyday to charge my phones and neither will work right, they are acting weird, but the extension cord from the bathroom works great. Maybe there was a power surge that did something, there is construction outside my back door.
I'm going to post this incase anyone has ideas but I think I just realized that I may be pulling too much from 1 circuit and my pc and phones do not have enough power. Been running this setup for 4 months, wonder why now.
