I will start off with my PC specs.. Bought the pc from cyberpower in 2013 but ive upgraded just about everything besides the cpu/mobo on it since then.
basically my problem ive been encountering the past week or so is that no matter what game i play i get random freezes. These freezes happen in less than a second and never last longer than a second. They are very noticable in certain games and can become super annoying very quickly. Ive tried keeping my task manager open to see if anything jumps/falls rapidly during the freezes but havent noticed anything weird.
I also went in my cmd prompt and did a tracert on google and then pinged the first 4 hops . everything seemed fine with the pings so not sure what the issue could be.
Also would like to mention that my pc has blue screened twice this month(the only 2 times its ever happened) but im 99% sure ive figured out why, and thats because the cpu was getting too hot(around 85c when max is 80, theres no thermal paste on it at all anymore so i ordered some just waiting for it to get here to see if that helps at all) but during the tests for the lag spikes the cpu cores were around 70-75C, just looking for some insight or direction i can go in to test other things because im not sure what it could be at this point if its not the cpu
