Experiencing intermittent pauses during gameplay.
Experiencing intermittent pauses during gameplay.
Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to PC gaming but possess sufficient knowledge to operate effectively. I constructed my initial desktop machine approximately six months ago and experienced no problems until recently. Lately, my screen has begun to experience intermittent freezes during gameplay and even while navigating the internet. Here’s a breakdown of my system's components:
Ryzen 5 2600 processor
MSI RX580 Armor graphics card
Asus B450-F motherboard
16GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 DDR4 (two 8GB sticks)
Seasonic 600w gold power supply
I’ve attempted reinstalling graphics drivers, testing different RAM modules, replacing HDMI cables, and even utilizing alternative mice—initially suspecting a faulty mouse sensor. However, none of these efforts resolved the issue. I'm struggling to identify the cause and am uncertain about further troubleshooting steps. I’ve experimented with enabling and disabling FreeSync and V-sync within games, yet the stuttering persists across various scenarios. I'm not certain of my monitor’s precise model, but it is an HP display with a refresh rate of 144hz and a response time of 1ms.
If you have any suggestions that might assist me, I would appreciate hearing them. Thank you for your time and consideration!
