[HELP] 5-10 second lag spikes in ANY GAME but good PC - zombiekid32 - Apr 8, 2016
Ok so I put this topic up on Tom's Hardware but it did not help at all. Pretty much self explanatory, I've had this PC for about 2 years now and only about 5 months ago I started to notice that in ALL GAMES i get random lag spikes that can drop my fps from 260 all the way down to 25. I really need help with this, it is so annoying trying to play a game especially when its one that requires a good PC. Any game will lag like Gmod, CSGO, PAYDAY2, Dying Light, even Minecraft. My specs are down below and the solutions i have tried but haven't work. Please help me with this problem, Thank You.
Solutions I've Tried But Have Not Worked:
> Cleaned my PC from Malware and Spyware
> Updated my drivers
> Made more space in my Hard Drive
> Re-downloaded all my games
> I cleaned out all the dust from my case
Specs:
Screen Resolution: 1920x1080
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 270X Gaming 2GB
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition GDDR5 @ 4.2GHZ
8GB (4GBx2) DDR3 Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM
ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0

are most or all of those steam games ?
do you experience the same problem when steam is closed and you play a nonsteam game ?
