The Problem. (TL;DR at the bottom of the post) I play Minecraft Java Edition with shaders and it starts out fine with me being able to play around 85-95 fps, but after anywhere from 30 mins to an hour my fps begins to half itself and never goes above ~48, usually staying in the 30-36 range. I had a few guesses initially and decided to take a couple days trying out different ideas that I had and all of them came up short. A temporary solution I found was to go into my shader settings and disable then re-enable a setting which would cause my world to redraw itself and my fps would be restored, but only for the next 5 minutes. Prior to this I used other shader packs and they would REALLY bug out and suddenly start pulling massive resources from my CPU(Upwards of 50% utilization), pushing my CPU up to higher temps than I'd like it to be while casually playing a game for 5-8 hours at a time. The other shaders would occasionally cause crashing as well. What I Have/Use.

I am having issues running Minecraft Java Edition on a pretty solid computer and would like your insight as to what the problem might be and help fixing it if possible.

Interesting, I disabled it and the sound did disappear, but I still had issues with the screen going black occasionally. It only happened once and turning my monitor off then on again fixed it, but it was League of Legends, so those few seconds are precious. Maybe the drivers just hate this game as they do with WWZ.

I noticed that my screen tends to lose input from the gpu, but my monitor has actually had problems with displaying picture before. It's just a monitor my older brother had laying around, so he let me borrow it until I get another one. I noticed that every time I enter a game in League of Legends I hear a particular sound that I've never heard before this PC, reminiscent of a "connected" sound and it doesn't allow me to cap the framerate at any particular setting, it just stays at maximum, 240-300 frames. I also noticed that it HATES World War Z. Every time you adjust a setting in-game the screen freezes, but I can still hear myself moving around and interacting with objects alongside hame events still occuring. Received snow, white snow, red transparent snow (still able to see the screen and visually see me take actions) full-on black screens and screen freezes. All of which I could interact with the game. I found that turning my monitor off then on again would fix the issue. I'm unsure at this point whether or not it's a monitor issue, a disconnecting issue, a connector issue or just bad drivers. Yeah, it tends to have more errors when I'm running the AMD software in the background. My RAM is in slots 2 & 4 Update: WoW runs VERY fine now @140-200fps@max settings in raid scenarios, unsure why. Overclocking GPU: No change Overclocking RAM: No change Underclocking RAM: No Change Using less RAM: Untested Disabling Controlled Folder Untested Capping framerates at 60: No change Will continue to update over the next few days, thanks everyone for their valuable input. It takes me a while to get around to testing different games because I'm typically busy with work and when I do game, it's only a handful of games that my friends and I play.

Update: I tried setting GPU's target power consumption to -50%; had no apparent effect. Windows 10 Core Isolation is (as far as I know) an Intel only processor thing and the option never appeared for me. I have Adrenalin 2020 and everything is up to date; no apparent change. I will continue testing relative settings and whatnot, but if there are any more ideas, I'd be much appreciative. Apologies if I didn't thank you for your input, I only realized I should be thanking all of you for taking time to help halfway through the process of responding. Thanks everyone, I will try a small list of other things: Overclocking GPU (Soft to Medium, won't go hardcore) Overclocking RAM (Timings as well) Underclocking RAM Using less RAM Disabling Controlled Folder Access (Recommended by a commenter) Capping framerates at 60 (Also recommended by a commenter, but I usually use V-Sync) More updates coming soon.

I will try that at a later point in the day.

I will try that at a later point in the day, thanks for the idea. I only played a handful of games, but I noticed it in WoW, WCIII (Reforged) and Raft (a Steam Indie game). I played some Left 4 Dead 2 with a complete overhaul's worth of mods and it ran perfectly fine.

I'll look into this at a later point in the day, thanks for the heads-up.

I have the latest graphics and chipset drivers, but I believe there were 2 pieces of software on the site and I don't believe I grabbed the adrenaline version, I'll recheck at some point today.

I actually already did all of that, always the first thing I do when I hop onto a new build or I have a less than tech-savvy friend with a build. I tell them what I'm going to do beforehand and see if anything needs adjusting.

So, I built a new system recently (part list below) and I have been experiencing a lot of frames being lost and the screen just going black for up to 3 seconds at a time (I am still able to click and interact with things on the monitor). I went looking around for some answers and I see a lot of people with problems, but no real answers, so I came to the LTT forums for some help. Everything is set to their stock configurations and I am getting 300 frames in some games at 1080p@60, but it will feel like I'm getting sub-30 at times. If anyone could provide a fix for this, I would be very grateful.

Thanks, will do.

Yeah, I can't deny that that looks much, much, cleaner. I'm kinda novice at building and part individual part knowledge. Thanks for the help!

Gaming for now, but will eventually be used to stream (PC and PS4) and then later to be used to develop games (3D Indie). Monitors. Initially 1 @1440p-144Hz, then another one when I get into streaming. Would like get up to 3 curved monitors for "maximum immersion", but might also go with a Wide/Ultrawide @1440p~144Hz curved and a portrait monitor on the side. Curve tightness doesn't matter a whole lot to me as I have plenty of desk room to position. I'm taking recommendations as I haven't exactly decided yet. Budget for new monitors is between 500-850 US$. Peripherals. I already own an Arctis 5 (2019 vers.?), DUALSHOCK 4 (PS4) controller, HyperX Crossfire Wired Mouse. I do not own a keyboard yet, but I already know exactly what I'm looking for there (Cherry MX Speed Silvers). Looking for streaming equipment and haven't done much research on it yet. Don't want to spend more than 150 US$ on: Mic, Stand, Camera, Pop filters, etc. Open to suggestions. Why I Am Upgrading. I currently own a Dell (pls don't hurt me) Gaming (it gets worse) Laptop (it was a gift, I swear). It runs League of Legends with max settings at 63 fps. Yikes. I know that there is a big problem with thermals and it is thermal throttling when I play video games because when I crank the AC to MAX I can play up to 80 frames for a few hours. I want to replace the thermal paste, but I want to have a functional laptop in one piece with nothing broken more. Plus, I'll need somewhere to get the OS from. Additional Info. I live in Ohio, so the outside temperature is consistently unstable, so I rely on air conditioning and keep it around a 69-72 degrees fahrenheit. I am very open to suggestions about possible build paths. Reason I went AM4 was to eventually upgrade to the 3900's. Games I would like to play with the new rig: Far Cry 5, Borderlands 3, Outer Worlds, MH:W, WoW, LoL, Minecraft, DBD, DS3.
