While playing some games, such as Tera Online, my computer will have these fits of stuttering or freezing, and it will happen randomly. Sometimes when I am just standing still, other times during combat, etc. I have narrowed it down to the CPU, at least I think. I am using CPUID to monitor my temps and loads. My cpu threads are reaching between 95 and 100% and causing the pc to freeze. My cpu temps are not going any higher than 60-62, very rarely it hits 65 but that is the highest I have ever seen it go. According the temp ranges of the cpu, it should still be ok and I don't think it is overheating. The very odd thing is, I can get it to instantly recover by Ctrl-Alt-Del and bringing up task manager. I am stuck and not sure where to go from here.
Things I have tried:
Adding Tera and other games to Windows Defender and Malwarebytes
Disabling WD and Malwarebytes
Putting the games on a higher and lower priority in Task Manager
Making sure the cpu fan is working and the thermal paste was set properly
Re-installing windows
Making sure drivers are up-to-date
Rolling back drivers to see if new ones were screwing things up
Dusted out the inside of my case
Re-installed games
Tried launching through Nvidia Experience on optimal settings
Disabling Nvidia Experience
Clean booting windows - (disabling all non-windows related processes)
Checking power cord and power supply for damage or faulty wires
Checked wires going into the motherboard
Hopefully, someone can help me with this because I am really hoping it is not my cpu taking a shit.
