Hey guys, hoping for a bit of help with trying to diagnose an issue that seems to have cropped up recently.
I've started to have random freezes during several games (the 2 main being Hunt Showdown & Doom 2016) which weren't an issue before.
Using the in-game performance metrics options, I've noticed that the main culprit seems to be the CPU, specifically the "max" frame timing, as when the freezes occur this seems to be the only metric affected (sometimes even showing so many digits it completely overlaps the rest of the data shown).
The freezes usually only last between 1-2 seconds, and are completely sporadic. They don't seem to affect any functions outside of the game, and once the freeze happens and passes everything seems to run perfectly until the next one (be it after a few seconds, or a few minutes)
I've tried what must be every single graphics option combination & resolution only to find the issue persists in exactly the same fashion (lowest settings + 480p vs maxed out settings + 4k, both with exactly the same symptom).
I've stress tested each component in the PC, tried reinstalling windows, disabling cores, defaulting Bios, changing voltage settings for components along with over/underclocks, power plans, etc. Again, to no avail.
Strangely enough, games like Control with ray tracing, max settings @ 4k (1080p internal rendering of course) has zero issues, running 40+ hours with only a brief issue regarding an overclock I first applied which was quickly remedied by dropping it by 15MHz.
I'm absolutely exhausted trying to figure this out and in hoping that it's something simple I've no doubt over looked. Regardless, any help would be massively appreciated!
My relevant specs are:
• CPU: AMD R5 3600
• GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 XC
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 (2x8GB modules)
• MoBo: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
• OS: Windows 10 Ultimate (up to date)
• C/OS Drive: Samsung 860 Evo 250GB
• D/Games Drive: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB
• PSU: Corsair TX-M 650W 80plus Gold
• Monitor: LG C8
Also, was built from new several months ago, but this issue only seems to have manifested over the past few weeks with no significant changes to either the hardware or software during that time.
