Hey guys, Ive been getting random lag spikes in all the games that ive been playing. My frame rate drops, and its really choppy. In Cod4, during the lag spikes it drops down to 60-80 FPS, but its as laggy as 10 FPS. For a while ive been looking up answers and couldn't find anything. Ive already read the other posts on here about the same topic. Some things to rule out:
-Ram: I replaced them recently and the the lag spikes are exactly the same.
-GPU: I recently replaced the graphics card as well, and the lag spikes still occur.
-Drivers: Ive updated the drivers, but still nothing.
-Game Cache: Ive checked the game cache on steam and all seems normal, Also the lag spikes happen during origin games as well.
-Gpu Overheating: The GPU is running at optimal temperatures for gaming.
-Hard Drive: Ive already de-fragmented my hard drive, as per the suggestion of another question on here
-Resolution: The Resolution doesn't seem to matter, the lag spikes happen from 1920x1080 thru 640x480
-Ccleaner: Ive Ran Ccleaner acouple of times until no errors showed up.
-Malware: I Run Malwarebytes on a weekly basis and get rid of any malware.
My Specifications:
Motherboard: Asus m4n68t-2
Cpu: Phenom ii x4 965
Gpu: Radeon r9 280 3gb
Ram: 8gb 1866
Hard Drive: 1Tb
PSU: 600w
I also normally wouldn't post a question about computers, I prefer to try and fix it myself, but at this point im getting desperate, It seems like nothings gonna fix this, any help is appreciated.
