PC getting slow after playing 1-2 hours of gaming.

[Timothy_5]

Hi all,

I've been playing games on gaming PC. It started to get slow after 1-2 hours of gaming. The problem is mouse and keyboard is lagging slowly. I've updated all software on the PC, BIOS and chipset and etc. At one point, when I was playing rise of the tomb raider, the character started to move randomly and not going the way I want to go. In addition, it also started moving by itself when I am not moving anything. However, after exiting the game, everything is running fine. I really have know idea what's going on. I, however did upgrade my CPU and MOBO recently from 4th generation i7 4770 to 6th generation i7 6700k. But my MOBO and all the other drivers are up to date. Also run the S.M.A.R.T test for both SSD and HDD already, and they both pass.

Here are my spec for my PC:

MOBO: ASUS Z170I Pro Gaming
CPU: Intel i7 6700k 4.0 GHz
RAM: Kingston Hyper X 2400MHz 8GB x 2
GPU: MSI GTX 980Ti
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750 P2
Cooling system: Cooler Master seidon 120V
SSD: Samsung EVO 850 250GB
HDD: Seatgate SSHD 4TB
Case: Cooler master Elite 130

Do you also experience this with other games

Yep, was playing Red Alert 2, and mouse was lagging a little.

My first thought was a temperature problem but that wouldn't cause random movement in a game, check them anyway though. Run an infection scan of your PC as it could be that.

Well, it can't be the temperature as the MOBO temperature is at 26°C and the CPU is at 46°C. It shouldn't be a infection as I've only upgraded over the weekend and installed a brand new windows 10 Pro.

46c sounds too low for a load temp, is that your idle temperature?
Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? If you did the upgrade, that could be causing problems.

I did a clean install, not upgraded. And yes, that's temp for the PC at the moment, not doing much at the moment so it will be a idle temp for now. The max temp for the PC is at 67°C for CPU and MOBO is 30°C. My GPU max temp is around 57°C .

Okay, the next thing to try is disable all unnecessary programs/services and see if it still does it.
