Hey everyone, having some trouble figuring out a strange issue. During gaming, I'll get random hangups where the FPS will drop to single digits, then it will pop back up. Eventually, it'll reach a point where it will stay in the single digits and becomes unresponsive. During this time, the following will happen:
First, CPU frequency drops to about 6-800mhz, utilization is also very low
Then the GPU utilization drops to rock bottom, as does frequency and everything else
Occasionally, my Xbox controller will lose its sync with Bluetooth while this is happening
Nothing ever actually crashes and if I go back to the desktop, everything is responsive. It's almost like it forgets it's supposed to be running a game lol
I had issues with my last motherboard (ASRock X370 Professional gaming) stability wise, as well as some issues with the rear I/O (some USB ports were dead, etc.). I decided to replace the motherboard with an X570 Tuf gaming, both to maybe solve the issue and ready myself for a cpu upgrade. The issues have persisted.
I thought it may have also been an issue with one of my m.2 drives as it doesn't have a heat sink on it. But it never goes above 47° c. My CPU never goes above 56° c. The GPU never goes above 89° c junction temp. Temps in general seem good. ram usage only goes as high as 11 to 12 GB at most. GPU memory usage is just about maxed but I think that's normal depending on the game?
I swapped in a different GPU (1660ti) after wiping my existing GPU drivers. The issue actually got worse, it wouldn't go above single digits for any length of time, even when I lowered the resolution to 1080p. Anyway, I'd appreciate some direction on this so I know where to continue my diagnosis. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
