PC experiences occasional interruptions
PC experiences occasional interruptions
I can only observe it through the lagging mouse cursor, which is more noticeable in video games. The videos don’t seem affected at all. This issue started suddenly and I’m unsure exactly when it began. I’ve tried everything possible—updating drivers, unplugging and plugging back in, reinstalling or removing the software. Nothing works. Now I’m using a fresh Windows 11 installation and it still happens, so I guess I’m SOL. It was recommended I try this first. The dxdiag site won’t let me paste a log into this post.
Download and execute HWiNFO64 with sensors only while gaming. Observe when you encounter significant lag (at least 15 minutes) to monitor your GPU and CPU maximum temperatures. This pattern suggests some form of throttling. What is the temperature in your room? Are you located in Australia during summer time?
Well observe, this occurs regularly whether you're playing or not. Playing doesn't actually improve or harm the situation. I'm on central North American time. Temperatures stay within normal limits according to HWMonitor.
I understand my PSU is likely the oldest component in this PC, though I don't know the exact brand or model. It functions well enough, and games perform just as they should when there are no other issues, although the system occasionally freezes briefly—about a quarter of a second every few seconds. My mouse uses Bluetooth, and I've tested it both plugged in and unplugged, but the problem persists. I'm not sure if connecting it again resolves the issue. I'm close to my PC, and the mouse is just a short distance away.
