Question Avid PC Gamer/Enthusiast. Strange problem still unresolved.
Recently I've experienced a problem that appeared suddenly. While playing demanding games such as Red Dead 2 and MSFS, the game runs smoothly at first but then freezes abruptly. These freezes last around 20 seconds before the PC resumes functioning for a minute. Even after restarting, odd issues persist, like missing textures or models. Initially I checked temperatures and found everything normal—CPU, GPU, chipset. Then I replaced the SSD, reinstalled all games and Windows, upgraded to a new graphics card, upgraded PSU, but the problem continues. I've invested over a thousand dollars trying to identify the cause, yet it remains unresolved.
What is the age of your PSU? Regarding your motherboard, which BIOS version are you using? You mentioned not overclocking, do you have a link to the RAM kit you're working with? Did you use DDU to uninstall older GPU drivers before installing the new ones from Nvidia's support site?
I received a brand new SSD and performed a fresh Windows installation after installing the new graphics card. The PSU I purchased yesterday was also brand new. All components—SSD, Windows, PSU, and GPU—are still in their original condition, just as before. I replaced them all.
Here is my RAM information:
