Briefing: My Gaming PC worked flawlessly before 3 days ago. Just 3 days ago I was playing a game (Dragonball Xenoverse) and all of a sudden after about 5 minutes of gameplay I started noticing some stuttering and lagging. I turned it off and realized my whole PC was super slow. It speeds back up after about 10 minutes of being out of the game.
I turned it off and came back the next day and tried it again. I was playing Bioshock Infinite smoothly for about 5-10 minutes then my PC began to lag and stutter and then it became unplayable. I did some research and found that it is probably a hardware issue, but I'm not sure what to do to pinpoint the problem.
I updated my drivers, defragged, cleaned registry, ran CCleaner, all of that. Still occurring, which is why I have chose to look at the hardware, but any suggestions are welcome!
Specifications:
Processor: Intel i7-4820k
GPU: EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 780
RAM: 32GB RAM
Storage: 2TB HDD
PSU: HMW XG-H800
History of problems: Only ever had one problem, which was my motherboard failing. Got it replaced and all was well after. This was over a year ago.
Thank you in advance.
