So mostly every game I play I can't have a smooth fps. It usually is a solid fps then will either drop 10 frames every 20 seconds or so, or just drop and stay at that fps for the rest of the game. With my pc specs I should definitely not be having problems like this when trying to run games.
CPU: i5 4690k
GPU: Msi r9 390
Mobo: Msi z-97 gaming 5
Ram: 8 gb (Had 16 but removed one
1tb hdd
250gb ssd
Cooler: Corsair h80 gt
First off I will start with what happened to my ram. The heatsink for some reason decided to slide off of the ram stick, ever since my pc has been very laggy. I decided to remove the broken ram stick and my pc lag has nearly vanished, but I still get fps drops in my games.
Secondly, while running games my cpu is almost always at 100 percent usage. Looking at a graph of cpu and gpu usage the cpu goes to 100 and the gpu goes down and back up as soon as the cpu goes down from 100 and it's a continous cycle. I'm wondering if I got a defective cpu chip because it idles at 40 degrees Celsius even with a water cooler and this is the second cooler I have used with this cpu. The weird thing is it has never gone above 58 degrees in graphically intensive games so I just don't understand. I doubt it is an overheating problem with the cpu.
Another thing is that my cpu will not overclock at all. I don't get the Bsod when I'm stress testing, but rather when I'm in a game like gta 5. I'm not sure if this could be related to possibly some bad ram. The other stick in my pc looks like it has been affected a little bit, but not as much as the other one.
As for the graphics card. I already installed clock blocker because I know r9 390s are notorious for down clocking. They do tend to run hot, but that is normal. All of my drivers are up to date at least that I know of. I have heard one rumor that could be true. It's that the Killer network driver could be causing all of this somehow, because I do have the z97 gaming 5 motherboard and that is the driver that is recommended for it.
I've run out of ideas... If you guys have any input what so ever I will be very thankful.
