I've been experiencing frequent freezes on my PC since purchasing it. It usually occurs during actions like checking enemies, taking damage, or inspecting weapons—even in the main menu. It seems to happen instantly, possibly before loading enemy models. Despite all attempts, the problem persists even after updates, driver changes, and a clean system. My specs are an i7-8700K with ASRock Z370 Pro 4, upgraded to MSI Z370 A Pro, running GTX 1080 FPS, and using an SSD with Wireless Steelseries 800. I've tried overclocking the GPU, cleaning the machine, reinstalling drivers, and even changing settings, but nothing resolves the issue.
My PC runs Windows 10 LTSB, and I've tested various configurations, including disabling graphics, updating settings, and using different RAM sticks. The FPS remains low (400-600). I also ran CS:GO before and it worked fine, suggesting wireless headphones might be the culprit. My internet is stable, but I suspect other factors like background processes or overheating could be involved.
I've noticed some strange changes—colors on my K70 keyboard altered, and sometimes the game would crash unexpectedly. I'm not sure if this is related to the driver or something else. I'm really hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on. Thanks in advance!
Here are some useful links: MSI z370 a Pro BIOS Version 7B48v28 (upgrade only if needed), MSI z370 a Pro Chipset driver, Nvidia drivers (choose your card and OS). For updates, visit your motherboard's support page and your CPU's site. PS.: To change your BIOS, place the file E7B48IMS.280 on a USB drive, keep it simple, and don’t put it in folders. Follow this guide: copy the BIOS file only, not the folder. While updating, do not disconnect the USB or turn off your PC. Wait for completion, then restart naturally and reset to defaults before trying Windows again.
Thanks! Yes, you’ll need to download all drivers from the support section. For the CPU drivers, here’s a link: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa...Windows-10. It should cover what you need.
The links you provided should point directly to the resources. Your CPU requires only the chipset drivers available on the motherboard’s support page. For the motherboard, focus on the chipset and audio drivers. I added VGA drivers just in case you plan to run CS:GO via your IGPU for testing. Make sure to enable the IGPU and connect your monitor if you wish to use it.
It seems the issue might be related to missing keyboard drivers, even though the game ran fine initially. After installing them, the problem reappeared. It’s possible the K70 Lux Edition had compatibility concerns.
