Just recently did a long overdue updgrade on my pc. Ran fine fpr the first week now im experiencing a few problems im hoping i get get some help on. While playing any decently demanding game im getting spikes of lag with fps drops as low as 18 every few minites but games normally run at 60fps.
Did a basic diagnosis and monitoring...no overheating or high load on any components, drivers up to date, only thing out of the normal is my new gpu has coil whine. Cant seem to find the problem/bottleneck and i know its not my internet connection.
Specs...
Cpu - amd 4130
gpu - r9 280 oc
ram - 16gb corsair vengence
hdd - 64gb boot ssd/1tb storage
psu - 830w
Potential thoughts are that my hdd is dying bc thats where the games are stored, cpu is bottlenecking, or my psu is bad. Any advice?
