I built a new PC roughly 1 and a half years ago. For about 4 months now I've been noticing these occasional drops in performance. By this I mean I'll be playing a game such as sleeping dogs or something of the like at a perfect 60 fps. after maybe about 20 minutes of game time the frames will drop for about 5 seconds before shooting up. The severity of the drops seem to depend on the game, sleeping dogs usually drops to 20 fps whereas Goat simulator ( Shut up ) goes to about 5.
I have considered temperature but I noticed that at one drop the cpu and graphics card were only around 45 degrees.
I have performed disk defragments, cleanups, virus scans and updating graphics drivers, all to no avail.
Specs
AMD Radeon 7900 series
AMD FX-8350 eight core processor
8 GB RAM
Windows 8 64 bit
ASUS M5A 78L-M USB3 Motherboard
I'd really appreciate any help since this is really fustrating and making me feel like I'm just wasting money on this system
