When running applications on my PC, programs switch between being responsive and non-responsive (mainly games and game clients but things like google chrome are affected too). This mainly happens when alt-tabbing but also when the program is just running on its own sometimes. When switching, the programs becomes unresponsive, but I can still hear the program (if it's a game) running and can switch back to it using task manager. I don't believe that this is an issue with my CPU over heating because when running Msi gaming app it says I stay around 35-40 degrees C. I have searched for answers and have been completely stumped. I updated all my drivers and reinstalled them, checked the resolution ratio if it was correct, checked my drives for errors, reinstalled the game itself and no solution. If anyone could help me it that would be so great.

Thanks
