I recently stopped playing CSGO and started playing different games, I have played competitive CSGO for over 3 years on my PC and never had any lag issues or such since CSGO is not demanding. I have recently started playing Rust, Fortnite and PUBG and I get weird freezes from time to time. It's hard for me to tell if my FPS drop to 0 or if the system freezes up but I get weird freezes about every 5 minutes for 1 or 2 seconds and it's annoying for most part. For example in Fortnite, I'm running the game at 120 FPS in 1080p on high settings, tried changing the settings to medium and it made no difference to the freezeing up problem. My CPU is at 100% usage basically all the time, sometimes it will drop to 90% while my GPU is around at 70%-80% usage. My temps are fine. I'm not sure what the issue is. My specs:
i5 2500k (OC'ed to 4.8Ghz)
Asus Strix GTX 970 4GB (OC'ed by +150Mhz on both GPU and VRAM)
4x4GB HyperX Fury DDR3 RAM
120GB Kingston SSD
1TB Toshiba HDD
750W CoolerMaster PSU
(CPU is watercooled, max temps around 65C, GPU air cooled with my temps around 55C)
Tried closing everything in the background except the game + AfterBurner and I still get the issue. Fortnite recommended requirements are i5 2.8Ghz + GTX 660 which I basically double those specs so I don't think that's the issue.
