I noticed this in 3 games, Evil within, Watch dogs, and oddly the king of fighters steam edition, where i get random pc freeze and frame rate drop to 0 also the sound stops, as i played the evil within windowed with taskbar on i saw that my cpu spikes at 100% when such freeze happens, and then afetr a sec it resumes the work normally.

My Cpu is an Amd Athlon II x2 215 (with 4gb or ram and radeon 6850) And i am fully aware of how old and oudated my system is and that such games shouldn't be played on such specs, but this is all i have, and the freeze in question is strange and abnormal.

Any solutions? (oh and i run on win 7 64)

Already scanned the pc for viruses.

What is the temperature of the individual CPU cores when the computer freezes?

I use HWMonitor to give me real-time information...

If the temperature is too hot for your particular CPU make and model, then your CPU cooler may not be doing an adequate enough job of cooling the CPU. This can be remedied by restoring original factory clocks of the CPU without any overclocking and cable management and cleaning the CPU cooler from any dust or what have you...

My temperatures witch i forgot to mention are ideal, never above 45 degrees for cpu and rarely above 59 for my gpu and this is when playing said games under heavy load. So this is not the issue.

Yeah that's what i am afraid of but what make it strange is the King of fighters is really agame that doesn't require much and yet i get it in, whereas games such as Shadow of mordor runs normaly with the noraml frame rate drops to 15 - 20.
