Hi I ran into a problem recently with my computer and the fps in games. All the games I play should be okay with the frames. All of my games like CS:GO, Rust, Gmod, and H1Z1, etc. run at around 150-260 frames but for whatever reason they drop to 20-30 fps for a couple seconds and this can be very irritating. This happens every 2-3 minutes in ALL GAMES. Any ways here are my specs. Hopefully you can help me with this situation, thanks.

I have started to notice my CPU usage go down whenever my games start to lag. If you need any other info just tell me how to get it and I will send it to you. I really need help because i've started to get really annoyed by this.

Solutions I've Tried But Have Not Worked:
> Updated my drivers
> Made more space in my Hard Drive
> Downloaded and ran multiple malware, adware, and spyware removers such as malwarebytes, Kaspersky, AdwCleaner, and RogueKiller
> Cleaned out my PC
> I've OC'd my GPU thinking that it would make a difference but this didn't do much.

Specs:
Screen Resolution: 1920x1080
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 270X Gaming 2GB
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition GDDR5 @ 4.2GHZ
8GB (4GBx2) DDR3 Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM
ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0

If your CPU useage is dropping abruptly - that's going to cause FPS drops too.

There are a few potential causes for CPU useage drops.
First - how are you temps looking? For an AMD CPU/APU you should monitor the Thermal Margin in AMD overdrive (works backwards, you're looking at degrees to Zero). if you're seeing your temps go below maybe 10'C, you're experiencing thermal throttling.

Have you OC'd you CPU?

What is you PSU? Make, Model & Wattage.

Hi, I have a Corsair CX600M PSU and no I have not OC'd my CPU. I will try out the program and if you can help with the info i've given you so far that would be amazing. If you don't mind, can you share this thread with others? I really need help with this. Thanks
