Hello folks,
I'm facing a problem I cannot solve by my own:
The Problem:
I built my PC by my own a few weeks back and find myself struggling at some point:
From time to time, it's say once an hour, I will face a massive "lag" with sound loop or weird bumping noises and frozen frame for about 5 seconds. First, I thought it might be the game (PUBG) that is known not to perform too well. Yesterday I had the same problem creating a new folder on my desktop. It occures while watching YouTube videos as well. At the very start of the lag I hear a noise in my tower that remembers me of the noise the PC makes if it comes out of standby.
For a few days now, the lag changed slightly: In PUBG the screen turns black or I get fine frames and sounds but are unable to do anything. A little warning "network problems" pop up right after the lag. Since the lags occur on dekstop/YT as well, I doubt it to be my Network.
The "booting" noise I hear might be the SSD but I'm not sure about that. PUBG and Steam are installed on a different SSD as Windows is. Since I face the problem while gaming and on desktop (even while I write this) I doubt it to be the SSD.
I had no problems in other games (League of Legends, Far Cry 5, Wolfenstein the new Order, F1 2017) I played recently.
The problem started a while back but the system worked a few days without any issue.
What I did so far:
I did reinstall the graphic drivers (GeForce Game Ready Driver v425.31) as well as PUBG. In addition, I kept monitoring the temperature of GPU and CPU. Nothing to see there. CPU between 50-60°C and GPU never hits 70°C. The problem occured under older graphic drivers as well.
My Setup:
MSI RTX 2070 Gaming Z, Intel I5 9600K, Mainboard: Asrock B360 Pro4, PSU: Corsair TX550M (550W), 16GB G.Skill Ripjaw V DDR4 @2666 MHz, Thermaltake Riing Silent 12RGB sync edition, M.2 SSD (256GB), Samsung Evo 860 (1TB). I use HP 27xq with 2560x1440 and 144 Hz. The Monitor has AMD Free Sync which is set off.
I heard it might be the PCU, but all calculators I used before building the system stated, that 550W would be a safe call even if I OC. I think about OC, but I didn't do anything so far.
Some stated that the CPU might be the problem if it hits 100% workload. That is almost the case if I push settings in Far Cry 5, no problems yet.
I did not set new speccs for the DDR in BIOS which could be a good thing as some setups tend to run the DDR at lower MHz as it is supposed to. Nor did I change the timings.
Any suggestions? Did I miss something, can I check something?
Many thanks in advance!
