Hi guys,
About two or so days ago, my machine began to experience lag spikes in about five second intervals when doing anything above simple browsing or idling, mostly during gaming. FPS will go from 80+ to 30 FPS over the course of two seconds, and idle there until it returns to normal, before repeating. After working on this issue for many long hours tonight, I thought I'd finally come here to ask, as I've exhausted all of my knowledge, and all attempted solutions have come up futile. Here's my specs down below:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
Motherboard: Asrock Z97 Extreme6
CPU: Intel i7 4790k (4.2GHz)
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4
GPU: Nvidia Gigabyte Windforce GTX 980Ti
HDD: Seagate BarraCuda ST375064
Originally, my thought process for this issue was that there might have been a driver issue with my video card, as the latest Nvidia driver update, 391.0 was causing lag spikes and other similar issues for lots of folks. However, even after rolling back with DDU, and reinstalling many, MANY drivers from the past that worked just fine, the problem persisted. Since then, I have done the following:
1.) Run other video driver installations
2.) Run clock and temperature monitors, no abnormal temperatures (32c idle, 40c load)
3.) Run memory checks (All passed)
4.) Run disk defrag, optimization, and registry cleaners.
5.) Run Malwarebytes and Avast scans, twice.
6.) Unparked all idle cores.
7.) Changed power options.
8.) Disabled global V-Sync from Nvidia control panel.
9.) Booted in Safe Mode, repeated steps 1-8.
10.) Reinstalled Windows.
None of these attempts have fixed my problem. This was all so very abrupt and sudden, as my machine appears to be healthy on all accounts, and was not exhibiting any of these behaviors just two days ago. I am at a loss. Do you guys think it's the CPU? The GPU? I don't understand.
Thank you.
