While playing games (Most games) I seem to get tiny lag spikes while playing. As in it will be running 60 fps (limit) and suddenly freeze for a millisecond (Yes it is frozen for a slight second, and no more or less) and then 60 fps again. On the fps counter it shows 55 fps, then 60 fps. This is happening on most games, and I tested it on TF2 (Which I'd assume should be running perfectly without any lag spikes what so ever). I have the latest Geforce GPU driver- 340.52. I tried changing batteries on mouse, etc. (But again it shows on the fps counter). This happens quite a bit, and it is really annoying/ noticeable.
By the way, this doesn't happen ALL THE TIME, the games are playable, but I am concerned something is wrong and it keeps on GETTING worse. I don't know exactly when this started occuring, but I can tell you it use to not occur at first.
I doubt it is a bottleneck by all means. The i5-4690 is a very good CPU. It also seems to go to 40-30% CPU usage in game on TF2. I am guessing it is a CPU problem. (It also stays around 50-55 Degrees Celsius while using HeavyLoad CPU stress test).
Using CCleaner has helped the problem a bit, but didn't completely fix it.
It isn't the Storage's fault. It lags the same when putting game files on the SSD or HDD.
I have a feeling it is the CPU. It gets 40% CPU usage in Minecraft and TF2 (Which isn't normal at all). Any ideas on fixing that?
I have tried a different monitor/ monitor cable. This didn't fix it.
I have tried a Memory Test. No Problems on the Memory.
I have tried disabling all services except Microsoft Services, and Startup Services in MS Config. This didn't change a thing.
If possible, could I somehow install Intel HD 4600? It says I can't, but the Intel I5-4690 processor does have it. Any ideas on how to so that I could eliminate the GPU from the list of possible errors? I don't have any other graphics cards, or have any friends that I can trade GPUs with. Any idea on how to do that?
World of Tanks seems to get this Stutter the most. The stutter didn't occur before when I first got the computer, and now it is occuring. This means this stutter is new.
I removed files from my HDD and that didn't change anything.
I have tried lowering graphics in games. This didn't not fix this problem though it did increase the FPS in these games. Such as in WOT. But that isn't what I was looking for.
In CPUID HWMonitor, my VIN4 Voltage has dropped as low as .016V and as high as 1.120V. Is there something wrong there?
Any ideas on what may be occuring?
HARDWARE that isn't causing it:
-The Wireless Adapter
-The RAM (I tested it)
-The Monitor and Monitor Cable
-The Keyboard and Mouse. It is doubtful since the lag spikes are different in every game.
