Hi! blox100 here! And i have a little problem when i play games on my computer, usually AAA types of games.

When i play a game like GTA or Mad Max or Minecraft etc. i run smoothly for a little while, but then suddenly my FPS drops to like 2-4FPS for 10-20 sec. i have tried using lowest possible settings ingame and i have tried running the game only and such. i have an img taken from task manager with some epic paint skills on it to kinda show you what the problem is.

as you can see on the epic img i created, the speed when its laggy is 1.34GHz out of 4.20GHz and utilization is 31%..when i play games it just "chill" around at 80-85% and 3.5GHz-3.9GHz

 

 

My specs are as following:

CPU: Amd FX 4100 series quad-core (4CPUs) Overclocked 4.20GHz (cant remember what default is)

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 2GB Vram 

PSU: 750W something

RAM: 8GIG DDR3 Kingston 

Operating System: Win 10 home premium (recently updated, had problem on win7 aswell) 64bit

Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M LX V2

Bios: no idea, default it says

 

Thanks!
