After i reset my pc about 3 months ago ive started getting lag spikes in mostly low requirement games such as Valorant, Enlisted and osu! ive also gotten them a lot on apex. The reason why i reset my pc was because i would start getting random freezes when i didnt have a game running, it would happen when i watched youtube and etc. the reset removed this problem but has given me these weird lag spikes, on osu its completely random when i get them but they happen like about every 3-7 seconds, in valorant i get lag spikes most oftent when i peak someone. I have no idea if this is a system problem or a hardware problem, im pretty sure ive redownloaded all the needed drivers after the reset

these lag spikes makes osu! unplayable and all other games where it happends frequently just annoying to play

NOTE: i havent gotten these lag spikes on any high requirement games other than apex

  • Motherboard: Asus TUF Z390 Plus

Latest BIOS for your motherboard? Instead of resetting, why don't you try and reinstall the OS? On that note, what version of Windows 10 are you currently on? Ideally you should be on version 20H2. Try DDU and then reinstall the latest GPU drivers from Nvidia's support site. How old is the PS U in your system? The other thing is that the games you've mentioned tend to have updates rolled out every week and the next update only brings up more issues than resolving the prior issues.
