I'm sorry if this isn't in the right place, I'm a little new to this website. I recently replaced motherboards in my computer and after replacing it and re-installing windows and all the drivers, I noticed some odd performance in my games. It would run as it should for around 3 minutes of playing, then the frame rate drops for 30 seconds or so, then goes back to normal. It does this with all games so far. An example is when playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl. It runs at around 100 fps then drops for a minute, then goes back up. I have my GPU usage up on my other monitor and when the frame rate drops, the usage goes to below 30% then shoots up to 100% then back to 30%. I'm up to date on all my drivers and freshly re-installed windows on my Hard Drive. Anyone know a fix for this?
