So recently I have been having a problem only when I am playing games online. Basically what happens is the game will freeze for a about 5 seconds and then will go back to normal, but it seems to happen quite a lot. I have ran cinebench, Heaven Benchmark. I have even open the PC up and used compressed air to clean it all out. I have also ran Burnin Test and no errors have come up. I have installed all the latest drivers for the GPU. Basically I am at a lost, although part of me is thinking it is to do with heat, but I dont think it is the GPU, I am leaning more towards the CPU, could it be I need to replace the thermal paste?
