So, I have recently upgraded my PC and ever since I have I'v been encountering some issues. I'll post my previous/new system specs at the end. But basically this is how it goes:
After 5-15 minutes of playing a game (Such as Rome 2, Watch Dogs or Planetside 2), I start hearing weird sound distortion/stuttering every few seconds and soon after that my entire system starts to stutter. I was playing with FRAPS earlier and it tells me my system drops down to 1 FPS. Not just the game as it happens on the desktop as well even if I minimize the game. It's not a issue where my specs are to bad to run the game smoothly as I manage to run most of my games with 60fps. It's just after that 5-15min mark-ish where it begins. Anyway, I try to close the game im playing with the task manager, which is hard to do alone with 1fps and my cursor disappearing and the only way of getting it back is through a system restart, but after the game is closed my fps rises back to normal levels.
So that's basically the issue. As far as I know it's not my system overheating as I manage to keep my temperatures at good levels. It varies form game to game but generally my CPU stays below 50*c and my GPU below 65*c. Unless these aren't good temperature levels and this is causing the problem, so while we're at it could someone tell me optimal temperatures for gaming.
So now onto my specs.
Previous RIG:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
8GB 1600MHz
MSI 870-C45 Motherboard
GTX 660
750W PSU
New RIG (I only upgraded the CPU, Mobo and RAM)
Intel i7 4770 3.4GHz
8GB 1866MHz Corsair Vengeance
GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 Motherboard
GTX 660
750W PSU
As far as I know, Iv installed all the required drivers correctly as everything seems to be working so I'm not sure what the problem is and if anybody does please, help
Thanks in advance
