Hello All!

So basically just before Xmas I upgraded my computer with a brand new motherboard, cpu and ram.
intel i3 6100 skylake
asus H110M-A/M.2 motherboard
corsair vengeance ddr4 2 x 8gb ram

only games Ive played and installed since the new build are:

world of Warcraft
rust
over-watch
grand theft auto 5

Now at first i was having no problems but after about 4 days i started to notice things "lagging out", on rust the game would freeze and then close down, at first it was once a day but then it was happening every couple of hours.

on grand theft auto i thought it was due to having graphics set up so high so i lowered them down to the lowest possible and even then it would crash out on me, and every time it did crash i had to force close my computer.

on world of Warcraft it started freezing (where the current sound effects would just loop) for a few seconds but now it happens for a few minutes or sometime i have to force close my entire computer as ctrl+alt+delete wont work or the entire computer becomes UN responsive.

so tonight it happened around 10 times withing a couple of hours on wow, all of them were just 1-2 min freezes (were like lag spikes) but the last one caused me to force close my computer and then when i booted my computer back up about 10 minutes later it instantly became frozen and unresponsive!

during all of these freezes and lag spikes, team speak has remained fully functioning (i was bitching to my mates about the games crashing ect) and the only game that it hasn't happened on is over-watch!!

so i really don't know what to do, i haven't tampered with the computer since building it, Ive run malware/antivirus programs and check literally all drivers to make sure there up to date but now I'm completely out of options.

please help guys as I'm on the verge of throwing it away and become a dreaded "console player"

Did you install your chipset drivers?

And the other motherboard drivers as well?

Maybe update your BIOS:

You're on Windows 10 64-bit right?

And finally GPU drivers?

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.
