Hello

So i've been noticing for some time now, that most of my more "demanding" games despite running at 60+ fps will suddenly freeze for 1 - 2 seconds, most noticeable in games like Battlefield 4, paragon and Gta V.

My config is:
ASROCK Z77 PRO3
2X4GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR3 1600MHZ
ZOTAC GTX 680 2GB
PSU: CORSAIR GS700
WINDOWS 10 LATEST ANNIVERSARY UPDATE
HDD SEAGATE 1TB ST31000524AS

Razer kraken 7.1, cyclosa and abyssus with razer synapse.
Latest nvidia drivers
Resetted my pc 3 days ago, so no malwares and bloatwares.

i've been having this before i resetted the pc, i though it was malware related but apparently it isn't.

i'm thinking it might be a hdd problem or ram, though it might be the gpu vram but it lags even when the vram memory usage is way below 2gb.

but i've been having some issues with my ram, about 2 weeks ago my pc wouldn't turn on i had to remove and place the memories sticks in many different slots until it finally worked again.

hope someone can help me figure out what is causing this strange lag.

Thanks

Check CPU temps with HWmonitor to be sure.
Also, might check RAM vcore settings in windows, I've encountered cases where I needed to up Vcore a tad on Vengeance chips in BIOS to make them stable. Depends on specs on those RAM's.

i'm starting to think it is HDD related, since i've formatted the pc 2 days ago and the fragmentation is already ar 41% and it's taking a long time to turn on and open things and multitask
