Question Video Games started lagging out of nowhere

[Immolator772]

When i enter any game, my pc starts lagging in CSS it runs in around 200+fps but for seconds it will drop fps and cause the game to stutter. My HDD's are fine, i did a disk cleanup, all of my drivers are updated, i even tried to rollback to older driver then brought it back to the current driver. This happens on any game, games i would run without any problems.


My Specs:
16gb RAM
Intel I7 4th Gen
GTX 1060
Win 10 64bit

Hey there,

Please list your exact components, make and model.

What storage do you use? All HDD?

all HDD yes, 1tr the other 2tr. Idk their full names. I don't usually keep the boxes of the hardware. I don't think it's the hardware to begin with, because all sensors are ok.

Oh, your system must be as slow as hell

Getting a 256gb SSD as a boot drive would literally cost you about 20$. Would greatly improve the snappiness of your system.

Do you use MSI afterburner? If not, do Set it's OSD to show ram, cpu clockspeed and usage, along with GPU usage and clocks too.

You can monitor the usage in game and pinpoint what's going on.

my system is pretty fine most of the time, also MSI Doesn't help with anything only fry your system. I asking for a fix not someone to roast my setup ty very much.

Hey there,

Firstly, I wasn't trying to roast your system, only give some tips to help. My apologies if that's how you felt. It wasn't intended. I do see by my response how you would think that. It's not in my nature though.

Secondly, in terms of your current issue, whilst there may be a fix, we have to diagnose what the issue is. Simply saying you've FPS drops and low usage, is not going to help too much trying to figure which part is causing the issue. We rule things out one by one in the hope we can pinpoint the issue.

I'm not too sure why your say MSI Afterburner fry's systems. It does not do that. It's actually a great diagnostic tool for seeing all the relative performance numbers you need to figure out what's going on.

You can also use Task Manager to monitor your system, but it's not as useful as MSi. In addition to MSI, you can use HWInfo to monitor other aspects of your system.

A few suggestions to start with and 'find' a fix:

Test CPU with Cinebench R23, and check the scores are typical for your CPU. You could also use CPU-z inbuilt bench for a short test.
Test GPU with Superposition, Furmark. Again compare scores for the same GFPU online, to ensure your GPU is working as intended.
Test ram with memtest86+, to ensure you ram is running as it should. This test is run outside of windows and started from the bios.

Turns out, my cpu fan pins were busted from before when i tried to place it back in. I got a replacement fan today, it's running for now, so i hope i don't need a better one.

Cool. Glad you got it sorted. Let is know if you've any other issues.

Happy gaming
