Hi, i will try to explain my problem today.
I have problem while gaming, when i load fortnite or any game even minecraft i have massive frame drops like from 200fps to 5fps for couple of seconds for like next half hour or so, then after half or even hour of gaming it stabilizes but every 20 min i get same fps drop but it's okay because it's not like when i start to play in first half hour.
I checked and when i have those drops i get 0% gpu usage.
My processor is always at around 80°C while gaming.
I am thinking it may be caused by my PSU, it's MS 500W, i didn't have the 6 pin connector from the psu for the graphic card so i bought the cable to convert 2x4 pins into 1 six pin connector to power up my GPU, i don't know what is causing my problem but i would really like to get some help from you experts, and i forgot to mention my cpu get those temperatures because i switched from i3 3220 to i5 3570 and kept my old cooler from i3. Maybe that is one problem causing cpu heating that much. I checked to see if maybe problem was hard disk, i installed a hard disk sentinel but it says my hard disk is 100% and it can be used for over 1000 days + so i guess that is not a problem. If you know please let me know what i should change and what is causing problems.

My spec:
GPU : gtx 1060 3gb
CPU: i5 3570 3.4ghz
RAM: 8GB 1600MHz , but when i run speccy it says dual channel 798MHz
Motherboard: H61M-K
PSU: MS 500W
Hard disk: Seagate 7200RPM 1TB

I haven't checked RAM usage but surely i will do, but on msi afterburner it's almost 5700 , but usage in percentage i haven't checked.
CPU temperature 8O-85 celsius
GPU temperature 60-70 celsius
