PC lags after 10-15 mins of game play

[Shisimona]

Past few days, after roughly 10-15 mins of game play, my PC starts lagging HARD. My framerates are steady at 120-150 fps *game depending* and then drop to 10 fps and under. Does this with all games. Once I force close the game, everything is stuttering pretty bad. Windows will not shut down nor restart from start menu. Even pressing the power and reset button don't work. I have to switch off my power supply for it to shut down. But it only happens when gaming for 10-15 mins. If I don't game after restart, everything works fine.

I have scanned for viruses, malware, etc and every scan comes up with nothing. All my drivers are up to date, Windows is up to date. I even rolled back my gpu drivers to a couple versions back. I used DDU when uninstalled my gpu drivers.

Sounds like overheating to me.. Did you check the temperatures?

Yup, probably overheating. Did you look at the Windows event logs?

But if it's overheating so bad shouldn't it like shut down? lol 

 

well it could be, could also be memory related or hard drives... hard to say with the little info we got.

It should shut down.. But that's my only guess, since it happens after a while of gaming..

Overheating.

 

What CPU cooler and case are you using.

4.0 Ghz with a stock cooler is great, but it WILL overheat A LOT. So dial that down, or get a cooler meant for overclocking. Even the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO will be much better

Right, but let's say it isn't overheating (easy to check for the OP) then it could be a memory leak or something (it happens, wrong config, bug, etc) 

 

Had something similar, usually after 30 mins and since everything was at default settings anyway the only way I found to fix it was ISLC from wagnardsoft... I'll never not use this program, I have always lots of free ram and no slowdowns whatsoever.

It would if it tripped the auto shutdown temperature. If it didn't, it probably is throttling like there is no tomorrow. One of mine Intel laptops throttle all the way back to 400MHz, and it was like I was using a 386 and the display was a powerpoint presentation.

yeah, I mean that's possible... 

 

edit: oh yeah I didn't see cpu is oc, so that makes overheating more likely I guess

My temps are fine. I'm running a NH-D15. My temps stay around 45-50 when gaming. 

I have even ran some 3D Marks and don't have issues. 

I posted a pic of a quick OCCT that I did. I also opened HWMoinitor couple mins into the test to compare the temps between the programs. And another pic of the inside of my case.

My memory is also fine. That was the 1st thing I thought of. Ran MemTest86 for 24 hours. No errors. This was with the Ryzen DRAM settings I set.
