I have a problem with my PC.
Every now and then while I play GTA, randomly my PC starts to lag and the game starts to run at 2-5 FPS and the GPU only uses 10%, if I go back to the desktop, Windows it goes jerky, watch the video at the bottom.
I tried reinstalling the GPU drivers with a clean install via DDU, but the problem persists.
Would anyone be able to help me please?

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
  • RAM: Corsair Vegeance RGB Pro 16GB (2x8)
  • Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
  • SSD: Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVMe M.2
  • HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
  • PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-550
Background apps:

  • NZXT CAM
  • GeForce Experience
  • SteelSeries GG
  • MSI Afterburnern + RivaTuner
  • Logitech Hub
  • Steam
 
Check cpu/gpu temperatures.
Use MSI afterburner.

What cpu cooler are you using?
In the video you can see the temperatures in the upper left corner, however the temperatures are approximately 72ºC for the GPU and 53ºC for the CPU

I use the stock cpu cooler of the Ryzen 7 2700x (AMD Wraith Prism RGB)
