Hey there, i just bought a new pc, barely gamed on it, temps are good and the setup is supposed to be okay for the games i play, but every 30 seconds or so i get heavy fps shutters for 8 seconds or so.

Here is my setup:

CPU: AMD FX 6610, 3.3GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
RAM: 8GB

I roughly play things like Diablo or Isaac on very low settings, so i dont think the system is the problem, or is it?

I had a problem like that with an AMD CPU. It was the CPU trying to go to power save mode and would drop from 3.4GHz to 800MHz. It was a setting in the BIOS.

Let us know the full specs, run a monitor on your CPU and make sure the GHz is staying around 3.3
