Hi,
My CPU seems to really under-perform in any tasks (if that's a word!) and as a result, games lag hugely, and not only games do this, which is why I have struggled to find the right category for this thread. If someone recommends a different category than "Video Games", let me know. But anyway, games in particular can run really smooth, at 60FPS on Call of Duty: Black Ops II. But this doesn't last long; every now-and-then at random intervals, the FPS will go down to ~4 FPS, sometimes less. Then after a few moments, it will go back to 60 again, and when it does, all games appear to run in "slow-motion" then when the FPS rises, the game looks to go in "Fast" motion, and in racing games, flicks the car to the sides. It is very frustrating, and as you can tell, ends up with me dying in Call of Duty, or damaging my truck in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Now for the fun stuff, PC Specs.
CPU: AMD FX 4100 Quad Core @ 3.6GHz
RAM: 8GB Crucial 1600MHz RAM (I think it's 1600)
Graphics: XFX AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB Double Dissipation Edition
Motherboard: ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX
HDD: Hitatchi 1TB (not sure on the RPM)
Monitor: BenQ GL2450HM HDMI LED Monitor
Surely my graphics card isn't the issue, and the RAM is more than plenty!
Just tested, and when playing Minecraft, it happens in this too, no matter on Render Distance, or any other video settings. Furthermore, even Twitch.tv livestreams seem to do the exact same thing as explained above. Another thing, at one point when it happened, that second I minimized the game and in Task Manager, Memory was at around 50-60%, can't remember the exact number, and CPU was at 100%. This was in Minecraft too, and tested in Call of Duty, the exact same happens! When the FPS goes back up, i can see that Task Manager shows the CPU goes down to around 60% usage.
I have recently reinstalled Windows, as it was that bad, and I had 100GB/850GB available on the C:\ Drive. After reinstalling windows, the performance was a huge difference, with it now booting up in 20-30 seconds, compared to the previous 3 minutes! I've also noticed games load quicker, where Black Ops 2 would have a black screen with the blue loading windows cursor for around 60 seconds on first load, but now it only does that for about 10 seconds.
But it still does not stop this lag in games! These aren't even typical lag spikes.
I will be more than happy to provide any more information you need.
Thank you in advance,
Mike

Yes, from what I can see, all 4 cores are being used, but no I don't have any other GPU except a NVIDIA GT 610 1GB of my brother's, and I can't put up with that thing! c:
Thanks for the reply.

The FX41xx have poor single thread performance even against the older Phenom II's it was supposed to replace. Only way to improve, is to overclock the chip or switch to a FX43xx or FX63xx or FX83xx model, that has better single thread performance.I thought that may be the case, but it can't be I don't think as I used to be able to play literally any game I thrown at it, I've had it since last February when i had the PC built for me, so I'm not sure why all of a sudden it doesn't like working.

This is the best way to show you the screenshot of the performance while the game is still running, not sure how helpful it is! https://www.dropbox.com/s/0sfy16oza9ksn97/screenshot%20...

Just try the GT 610 and turn games down to lowest settings. At least it can determine if its the CPU or GPU at fault. Make sure you use DDU in safe mode to clean AMD drivers before installing nvidia ones. Here it is http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_unin...

Yes they will use some especially if you have hardware acceleration enabled.Thanks. After running Open Hardware Monitor, it shows that it is the CPU that cannot handle it. When I looked at the plot, it showed the CPU at 100% at the same intervals as the lag, whereas the GPU was at around 50%. But there is one thing, my GPU only shows up with 860MHz GPU Core, and 1200MHz GPU Memory. What does this mean, all I know is it isn't very high!
Thanks again,
Mike
EDIT: I looked closely at the plot (not sure if i initially had it right initially) , but this is what it looks like, it doesnt look normal at all, it looks as if the GPU is not being used whatsoever. https://www.dropbox.com/s/24upp4srthtczbu/oprenhw.jpg?d...
The GPU is using more (as expected in Crysis 2 Maximum Edition), but then as I get the lag i explained, the GPU load (%) [blue line] goes down, and the CPU load [purple line] goes higher!

Just try unparking your CPU cores. Use this http://www.coderbag.com/Programming-C/Disable-CPU-Core-.... I had microstutter issues too and this HUGELY helped.

I would also try checking for and malware, spyware, or infections of any kind. I had games that used to play shut down on me all of a sudden and I watched the task manager close one day and saw a spike in the cpu too 100% then a shutdown. Turns out it was some kinda bit miner program my girlfriends little girl must have picked up when she was playing games on my pc.
Easy free ones are spybot and malwarebytes.
I also change all my programs update times to a time when I would never be on or to manual updates. They don't use a whole lot but if more than a couple go at the same time it can add up.

Basically, sometimes, Windows puts your core(s) to 'parked' state when they shouldn't be and when they are actually needed. By parking the cores when they are actually needed causes the lag spikes. Windows keeps switching the cores between unparked and parked and this causes lag and stutters. Hence, for desktops its better to just disable the core parking feature that Win7 and 8 have. The only down side is slightly more power consumption because all cores are on all the time. But this consumption is negligible so there is really nothing to loose. Give it a go, you can always revert it. Make sure you create a restore point before though-just in case.

I don't think it's a spyware issue, I recently reinstalled windows to try to fix the issue, which did help in booting up, but games still struggle. i've also recently scanned too, but nothing has come up.

These FX series also have a habit of locking the clock at 7 and fixing the multiplier to save power. It wont use all of your cpu if it does not read that you need it and sometimes it just gets stuck. Here is a link that helped me out some when I noticed I wasn't getting full use of my fx6350.
http://www.ronwoods.us/2014/02/what-does-amd-applicatio...
Also had to change RAM settings to Preference 1 so they would time over 1066. Thet are now at 2133.

Thanks for that, but I don't really fancy my CPU getting any hotter, as I don't have any good cooler for it, but I will certainly keep it in mind if it gets too bad. Thanks again

Is there any other ways of increasing performance? I can now play at least half a match of Call of Duty multiplayer before I get this lag, and even then it only happens once or twice per match, whereas before it would happen every 10 seconds.

It's not OC'n the cpu. Your cpu is supposed to run at a higher clock than 7. They just stick sometimes when it should be at 10 it's stuck at @ 7. So your not using all of your processor even at stock when this happens because it is being throttled.
If you open the ET6 program that comes with it and click on the tuner tab you can watch your cpu slow itself down. You will see the 3500.00MHz it should run at stock under the POWER ON section and beside is the TARGET your cpu is aiming for. You will notice the TARGET drop drastically when idle at desktop or browsing, well sometimes it does this too under load ( hence it gets stuck ) when you need the 3.9GHz. It will slow you down at random points If you leave it up to the cpu to decide when to throttle itself.
By turning this function off mine ran so much faster and smoother and I only saw an increase of 2.3 degrees C with my 6350, stock cooler and two 140mm case fans. It runs very stable @ around 42 degrees C.
You can check your temps easy through the ET6 program too. It's under the HW Monitor tab then click fan/temp. From here you increase your fan speeds too but you shouldn't need to.
Oh sorry I thought you has a gigabyte mobo, I'm sure there is a program like this that came with the ASROCK. You may have the Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU). Then look under the frequencies.
It's really the same thing tambeshakunt is talking about with windows except it's between your mobo and cpu not the OS.

Not completely sure but I think yours should be the " OC Tuner ver:2.4.71 ". Here is another link to others having problems with that board, Not that it is the same as yours or the board is bad but, it may help you understand it and the tuner program better.

This guy explains it much easier and in greater depth than I would. Like he says, when you turn things off use that tuner to reads temps and keep an eye on them. Especially when gaming, ctrl+alt+delete and bring it up after 10 - 20 -30 minutes of playing and if it has'nt risen much then check it every hour on the hour. Room temp has a fairly big effect when air cooling too. If it's sitting right next to your big screen that's throwing off 90 degree heat you should move it. Also I turn off cool and quiet since I don't mind my fans being slightly louder or in increase of $8 a month to my power bill.

If your like me and plan on clocking sometime later you may as well accept you're gonna have to get a better cooler whether a high end air or decent water provided your case supports it. Other than that just filling those empty fan mounts can reduce temps by a considerable margin.

Since you say it has been fine for months and then it happened you should get a can of air and clean all fans and parts. Some throttling programs are designed to save power and most to reduce temps. If this does'nt work you may need to check and see if the psu is supplying adequate power at a stable level. When they start going bad and the power it supplies starts to drop randomly it will affect the gpu first since it is the most demanding of your power resources.
Which psu do have btw?

I'm not sure of the model, but it's a 500W power supply. And sure, I will get a hold of a can of air, I have been thinking of doing that. Thank you for the help!

I would check the make and model online for that psu just to be sure your getting 30amps off that 12v rail. Also some really cheap ones say 500w max load but only really give around 320w continous. That gpu uses around 130w and the cpu uses 95w. So unless you got alot more going on it should be fine so long as your not seeing power swings. Don't be afraid to stick that air tube in the psu and blow it out as best you can ( Unplug and hold power for 3 seconds to discharge the capacitors. Never heard of anyone being shocked by cleaning but safe than sorry right. ).

I really cannot find the model of my PSU anywhere, I've opened my case and it does not say which PSU it is.The only way to find out now is to find the receipt which came with the PC when i had it custom built, but that'll take a while to find it
On the plus side, i had a chance to really look at my CPU's heatsink, and mannn, it looks like the thing on a hoover that holds all of the dust!
Yep, that could be an issue.... Let's get that sorted asap. -

Lol, you should have seen my dad's heatsinks and fans when he brought his pc to me. Heavy smoker and online gun trader = brown fuzzy blocks. Maybe it was just a slight heat issue and that will take care of it. Haha that doesn't sound good. But yeah I'll see how it goes, I do see it being a heat issue because it did used to run idle at sometimes less than 10C, but now idles at around 20-30C. Thanks for the help, and when I get a can of air I'll update you on how it goes.

Lol, you should have seen my dad's heatsinks and fans when he brought his pc to me. Heavy smoker and online gun trader = brown fuzzy blocks. Maybe it was just a slight heat issue and that will take care of it. Thank you so much for the help! Games are lagging almost never, and it just runs nicely now! Still cannot livestream, but that's probably more to do with it literally being too much work, not underperforming!
Thanks again,
Mike
P.S- Should i post back an update in a few days/weeks or mark it as the answer? Either will work!
