I recently built a low budget gaming computer. Here is the build:
CPU: AMD FX-8320
Motherboard:MSI 760-GMA-P34
Video Card: EVGA GTX 750 ti
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 8GB (two 4 gb)
Hard drive: Hitachi 1 TB
PSU:EVGA 500W Bronze
Case:Cougar Spike PC case
I have been using it for about 2 months and for about a week a strange fps fluctuation has been happening. It happens on battlefield 4. I haven't tested other games yet. At first I thought it was the monitor's refresh rate dropping, but that isn't the case because I opened up fraps to see my fps, and it is indeed the actual frames per second dropping. On battlefield I would say it happens every 5-15 minutes. The fluctuation usually lasts for around 10 seconds, and makes the game unplayable. It always drops to below 30. I usually get around 70-100, so it's not like I have a bad computer build, I just want to know what I can try to do in order to fix it. Is the pc overheating? While my pc is idle the temperature of my cpu is around 43C, I heard its supposed to be below 40C while idle. I do not know the temperature of the cpu while the game is running. Any setting I could change to possibly fix this?
