I experienced some difficulties recently. The setup isn’t overclocked, yet performance drops significantly—especially during League of Legends sessions. It stutters from 144fps to freezing for a few seconds, which is unusual given the game’s age. I’ve reached around 550 fps without overclocking in the game’s practice mode. The issue isn’t limited to gaming; it also occurs while browsing the internet. Sometimes the system feels sluggish, like it’s struggling to process tasks. Task manager shows high memory and CPU usage, but those numbers don’t match what I see. Despite updating drivers and checking for overheating, the problem persists. I’m unsure why this happens and haven’t visited any suspicious websites or downloaded anything from email or third-party sources. I’ve also used McAfee consistently and kept my software up to date. A full scan found no malware, though that doesn’t rule out a hidden threat.
