Gaming PC freezing/lagging every game
Gaming PC freezing/lagging every game
Hi guys,
I built this PC about 2 years ago. it has performed great on everything, including AAA games at High and Ultra settings. Out of nowhere without changing, updating, deleting, uninstalling, installing absolutely anything, every game i play will freeze visuals for 5-10 seconds every 30 seconds or so, rendering any games unplayable. I'm desperate, I've tried everything I can think of. All drivers are up to date.
here's my PC:
GTX 1060 6GB
Intel i5 6500
16GB DDR4
500W PSU
Asus z170-A PRO motherboard
Heres a benchmark test performance results:

If anyone can help me, it would be very much appreciated.

Is your computer running slowly? There could be several reasons why this is happening. One common culprit is that another program is using up a lot of resources, such as the CPU or memory. You can check this by opening Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac) and seeing which processes are consuming the most power.
If you find a program that’s hogging resources, you might be able to close it to free up some processing power. However, if your computer is still slow, it could be due to other factors such as insufficient RAM, an outdated operating system, or malware.
To further investigate, check the Task Manager and identify any processes consuming excessive CPU time. This can help pinpoint what's slowing down your computer.
