Right, this only started the past few days. When I play Overwatch, on low graphics or the ones recommended by Nvidia Experience, I am having my fps shoot up and down. The sound has a bit of static and the game is laggy, impossible to be accurate or even play since nothing is consistent. On Elder Scrolls Online, I have a similar problem except FPS normally stays at about 60 and then randomly drops and causes lag, once the drops start they repeat. This happens pretty much the second I get on the game, for both games. I dunno what specs you guys need to help if any but I'll put some below. On my Task Manager when not doing anything or just using something like Chrome casually, I have a CPU of about 1%. Using Youtube this shoots up to about 20% more or less. However, on Overwatch this maxes out and has random points it maxes out on ESO too. I haven't tested any other games yet but the really irritating part of all this is that it didn't use to happen. It's pretty sudden, especially for Overwatch which I play often. On MSI afterburner, pretty much most things max or have spikes where they max. All the CPU temps are max, the GPU usage is maxed and a few other things max too. I've used MSI with Overwatch before and this didn't happen. It's really frustrating for me.

This is how MSI and the resource manager looks during Overwatch. I print screened right after I came off mid way through a match because I couldn't play like that: http://imgur.com/a/slpsT
