[SOLVED] How do I know what my problem is?

[Anastazy]

My friend usually handles this stuff for me, but he told me he doesn't even know. I hope this is the right section to ask this. He built my pc for me, this is my first pc and I have had some upgrades for gaming but now I am getting random lag spikes that should not be happening.
Here is what I got in my rig:
-AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
-Geforce RTX 2070 S
-HDD 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache

• SAMSUNG 860 EVO SSD
• Rosewill Hive Series 650W Modular Gaming Power Supply
• TUF B350M-PLUS Gaming Motherboard
• 8Gb(x2) DDR4 3000 Ram

I'll provide some more info about my problem. The other day I was playing Half-Life Alyx and about 30-45 mins in I was getting heavy lag spikes down to 10 fps, I had to shut off the game and let it cool off. Playing Minecraft on 1.15.2 Gives me random lag spikes and no time in particular, settings don't help it at all. I don't know whether something needs to be upgraded or if I need to change settings for the hardware. I keep getting told by my friends to add more Ram and a bigger PSU, what could be a solution?

Hi Anastazy. Welcome to the forum!

Could you please tell me what are your temperatures?

For your CPU at idle and load and your GPU idle and load.

Could be thermal throttling.

Nemesia thank you for the response and I am sorry for being so slow, I got a new problem now which is I can't even open bios. I am trying to fix it right now with any guides I have available to me. I should have the numbers for you soon.

I attached a picture of my bios screen, I think that is the information you were asking for. sorry about the wait.

Unfortunately this is the BIOS and it doesn't really tell the temperatures of your system at full load or Idle in Windows.

You would need a program like Hwinfo64 to be able to look at everything you want. Voltages, fan speed, temperatures etc.

Thank you for the link, here is a screenshot of the right things.

So I do see that it says it isn't thermal throttling, I will try to run my usual games to see what happens.
