Hi,
First time on a forum but got an issue with my PC that I can't solve, first thing the system:
intel i5-3570k CPU (not overclocked)
Geforce GTC 560 SE (not overclocked)
8 gig DDR ram
Standard HD (not SSD unfortunately)
Window 10 (had windows 7 with the same issue)
For some reason my machine was working fine but now when I play any games (online or offline) at some point the CPU spikes usage spikes to 100 which freezes the game and I have to restart. Sometime I get the 'driver failed and has recovered' notice but not every time. I've tried the games on highest and lowest settings doesn't seem to make a difference. Games currently tested on world of tank, world of warships, Company of heros 2, DOTA 2 and Diablo 3 has the same issue with all of them though diablo 3 seems to be able to carry on unlike the others.
What I've done:
Cleaned the inside of dust to ensure it isn't a heat thing
MSI afterburner says the CPU heat doesn't go above 40
GPU temp also within comfortable parameters
Fresh install of everything (including windows)
Drivers all fully up to date
BIOS is latest version
Played with the bios activating all the extra stuff it can do and then reset to factor settings.
Scanned for viruses none
Got Malware and scanned - none
Don't have loads of programs running in the background
Nothing seems to have an effect, I play the games for a bit and it'll spike then freezes games. It's beginning to get very annoying and I can't seem to find a solution. Any help is much appreciated!
