After upgrading my PC around 6-12 months ago, I have been encountering and experiencing a lot of crashing, delays and stuttering. This is extremely noticeable when playing video games, especially PUBG or CSGO. While gaming, I encounter a daily basis of crashing, requiring me to restart my PC. It feels as if my PC was performing better before the upgrade.

Specs:

  • Asus Z170-Pro
    i5 6600k
    Evga GTX 1070 FTW
    Corsair Vengeance 8GB (x2)
    Cooler Master Hyper T4
    Corsair VS650
    Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

Did you upgrade the GPU? If so, did you do a clean sweep of the old drivers? It is recommended that you use DDU to completely remove all traces of old and current GPU drivers. After which, you can re-install the most recent drivers.
Also what does your system report by way of temps and load? You can monitor this by downloading HWmonitor.
