Hi guys, want to play Far Cry 5 but sometimes CPU spikes to 100% then whole PC is lagged and need to force restart PC, only happening in FC5
temperature seems fine to me, never goes up to 70°C, can it be also problem of Windows 11 ? played it for while on Win10 and never happend to me.

gigabyte h310 S2H bios version FQ
i7 9700k
32gb ddr4
rtx 2060 12gb drivers up to date
750w be quiet
m2 ssd and 2,5 sdd
win 11 up to date

If it only happens with FC5, then look for a FC5 patch or check the FC5 forums.
Is your motherboard bios current?
Sometimes there are applicable fixes.
bios was updated like 4 months ago so yes, it is latest, i looked for some hints on google but didnt find any fix, only things like everything need to be updated and look for temperature thats all
 
Im back again :)

did some research and didnt find any fix that would help me, BUT! after inspecting task manager closer i also saw higher numbers on antimalware service executable from windows defender and same thing on malwarebytes, tried some magic on that too but it still took like 10-15% of CPU ,RAM and Disc, had enough of Windows 11 and returned back to 10, after 1hour of gameplay it didnt crash, so if someone in the future have problem like me check background apps. best fix for that issue was reinstalling windows


if someone asking why i didnt fix antivirus, i couldnt : 90% of videos showing that u need to go to task scheduler/ microsoft/ windows defender / Windows Defender Scheduled Scan / turn off high privilage + in windows defender add file and app to exclusion but my problem was that i wasnt able to turn that off because it wasnt showing me. so thats why, Thanks for responses guys, LUV U :kissingheart:

**EDIT: forgot to tell that this only happend in FC 5, other games never crashed
