Hi there Ramy523,

Have you updated some drivers recently? I believe it would not hurt to restore your system to a previous point, before the issue occurred.

If this does not help, you can go to Resource Monitor when gaming and see if there is really high usage of some of the components.

Apart from that, you can:
- Update your GPU drivers.
- Test your RAM.
- Test your HDD with WD's DLG tool(both short and extended tests): http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=DQF8Yj
