Hi,

I'm currently having issues with my gaming rig and really not sure where the problem lies and was wondering if anyone could suggest what might be causing the issues I have. I reckon this is more than one issue here which makes it harder to identify the cause.

My rig details:
i52500k @4.6ghz (av temp during sustained play is 65 degrees)
8gb DDR3 ram @1600mhz
Asus P8z68-V Gen3 Mobo
850w psu
EVGA ~Nvidia gtx780ti 3gb ACX edition.
128gb SSD
Win 7

I must point out I have been playing BF4 very smoothly until recently using the hardware above so know this comp is capable of good frames and I now encounter a selection of faults when playing.

1. Sometime the game will hang on a frame for a few moments, feels very random when it happens.
2. My frames will be fine for a round or two and then deteriorate from between 90-130 to all over the place, (25-120-86-54-91-34 like that) for no apparent reason, even when staring at the same place this continues for as long as I play.
3. I have had some hard crashes during play but seem to have fixed that issue.

When I do the perfdrawgraph 1 It doesnt seem clear what the issue is. It's as if both teh cpu and gpu jump up and down at the same time when there is an issue.
I think it maybe hardware related but any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have tried:
cleaning driver history using guru3D driver sweeper and reinstalling.

underclocking gpu

removing overclock on cpu

flushing ram.

Tried re-seating graphics card and that seems to fix briefly but then it comes back (possible mobo fault or gpu fault maybe?)

Thanks for reading and any constructive suggestions.
