Hi,

Just DIY-ed my desktop last week.
I have been getting random half second freezes in all my games.

My setup is:
I7-4790K
Asus Maximus VII Hero
Gigabyte GTX980
Cosair AX760 power supply
Cosair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2133MHZ

I've been on google looking for a solution but have yet to find one.
Any clues?

Thanks in advance.

hi guys, i tried both but neither worked. =(

i checked with gpu tweak and the gpu, processor and memory clocks suddenly drops for a split second when this happens before returning to normal.
other stuff like temperature remains the same.

well hard to say these are newer cards and your the Guiney pig for now

could be do to that or driver not yet optimized the card you got is a lemon psu issue mobo slot issue and so on

this is why I don't buy fresh new stuff , I like to wait to see how they turn out a few months or longer down the road when there more proven [opinion]
