Unexpected behaviour

[Dani1000]

Hi everyone, I have finished up a budget Pc 4 month ago. Everything was fine, ran all games fine. Fresh, legit Windows 10 Pro 64bit. Latest Bios. All drivers for chipset and gpu are the proper, latest ones. 

 

Nothing was chaneged, only basic Windows updates. No thermal problems. But from one day to an other fps dropped from for example 80to 40 max in COD dmz. Also it has become unstable meaning that fps droppes down to single digits along with tearing, the charater is teleporting every second.

 

I have checked every component in other systems, they are all good. Tried with other set of memory and processor with the same mobo and so on... Internet connection is fast, with great ping. Processor and gpu usage moves around 50% and 60% both with the graphics maxed out and on the lowest setting, also tried everything inbetween.

 

The crazy part is that if I start a recording in the background with steam the fps seems to stabilize a bit. But that is not the end, in case I open a browser and use youtube, or netflix ect. The fps goes up to 65-50 range with much less tearing and no teleporting.

 

I have built probably 40 systems and never seen anything like this before. This behaviour is the exact opposite of what I was expecting.

 

Specs:

■Gigabyte b450M-K rev.2. Mobo

■ Amd Ryzen5 2600 Processor

■16Gb Kingston Fury 3600Mhz cl18 Memory

■Adata xpg 250gb SSD for system (bought used, but tested as 100/100)

■Hdd for games (not the best, but I have tested and have not found better performance with an ssd in this pc)

■ Amd 5700xt GPU 

■ Corsair Rm 650watt PSU

 

Does anybody have an idea or explanation why is this happening and how to fix it?

how old is your psu and try downloading cod onto the adata drive and see if that makes it better

I'd be suspicious of those. Performance can vary wildly for no apparent reason when a Windows update happens.

It is an older one, but I have tried it with a new one also, does not seem to help.

back up all your files to a external drive then reinstall windows

Sadly, it did not fix the issue
