I built my pc about a year and a half ago. It worked fine for the games I was playing then (unmodded Skyrim and Dishonored) but I always had trouble with minecraft. It still lags to this day and my frame rates don't get about 140. But I don't play it anymore so it's not that big of a deal.
I tried playing Ark Survival evolved, but no matter what graphics setting I have it on, there would be lag spikes ever ten seconds and sometimes the game freezes for a few seconds, even on the lowest setting, and this is single player.
I modded skyrim, but with only a few graphic enhancement mods from steam, (mods that many many people have downloaded) and now it lags and the game will crash sometimes for no reason.
My computer, while playing a game, will also randomly restart, and this will happen at least five times in two hours. It used to do this about a year ago, then stopped. Now, for the past two weeks, it has started to do it again.
My computer isn't bad, when I built it it cost close to $2,000. Now there are games coming out that I want to play and I have a bad feeling I won't be able to. At least, not on good graphic settings. If I can't have good graphics, I might as well switch back to ps4 where I know the graphics will be okay and my games won't crash and lag
MS words will lag now, and sometimes freeze when I look something up in the thesaurus or do a spell check.
My build is:
GPU: Geforce GTX 970 (Up to date driver)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
8 GB Ram
Motherboard: MSI Gaming 7
Corsair Liquid cooling system
Power Supply: Corsair RM850
Corsair Vengeance SSD
Samsung EVO SSD
1Tb Hard Drive
My virus protection is Webroot, so its not like I have Norton or McAfee slowing things down
All of my drivers are up to date
I don't play online, so it is the computer causing this, not bad internet
The notifications for windows 10 are disabled too
What is going on? Is my graphics card just old (It doesn't seem to be) Is it the motherboard? Do I need more ram?
Please help if you can. I have had ten laptops since last may, all expensive and had to be returned because of major issues straight out of the box. My self-built gaming pc, which I named Thor, has been the only reliable computer and I use it for work now since I can't get a laptop to work properly. If Thor gets worst, I am screwed after trying every good brand laptop there is aside from $2,000 gaming laptops from MSI. I can't afford that, not after wasting close to that on a stupid HP specter and dell xps (which worked fine until after the 15 day returned policy) But I can afford a $450 gpu or motherboard
