Hello i hope i can get some help. Basically as the title states my computer is randomly Lagging and Freezing often. In and out of games. Pages are slow to load and i get alot of smooth running time and then it will lag and then it will run smooth again constantly. Sometimes it likes to fully freeze which freezes in a wierd way.
When it freezes sometimes if i am in a game i can still move about but the sound will stop and the animations will stop but somehow i can still see people running about i can still talk to people and this will last a few minutes and sometimes leads to a full freeze. this freeze normally fixes itself in a couple of minutes. This doesn't happen a lot maybe one or twice a day if i am unlucky. It's mainly the lag.
Motherboard: Asrock 970 extreme 3 (about 3 yr old)
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor, 4000 Mhz, 4 core(s), (3yr old)
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 (18 months old)
RAM: Single Stick of DDR 3, 8GB (4+ years old, my oldest part by far but not sure by how much)
SSD: Samsung SSD 840 EVO, 250GB ( 2 years old)
These are my computer parts and i run with water cooling and have checked temperatures a lot to know they are never anywhere near worrying temps.
I would love to upgrade it all at once with the new AMD ryzen and GTX 1080 but unfortunatly i don't have that kind of money spare or spare parts to swap and test with.
I'm not new to computers but i'm not a full on expert either and this issue has me stumped. When i got my GTX all my games were running amazingly, I testsed full graphics on "Division" and it ran so smooth compared to my old "GTX 560" but then about a few months later i started to get lag issues and i'm not sure what caused it and now it's just gotten so much worst.
Any help is much appreciated.
