Random lagging

TodorTodorov02 · 13 Dec 2021 at 14:04

My computer starts lagging and does some type of cracking noise when it lags and I am not sure what the problem is. I have tested the RAM with memtest86 and I have done tests on the GPU with Heaven Benchmark but I don't think the RAM or the GPU are the problem. It might be the CPU bit I have no idea if it is. I have done stress tests on the CPU but while doing that the problem didn't occur. I will include a link to a video of the problem to give an idea of what the problem is.

Does it do it when you go into safe mode? It could be a corrupt a GPU driver.

I am not really sure what to do in safe mode to test it because my only way to trigger it is by opening Geforce Experience but when I am in safe mode I can't do that.

So it only happens when you open Geforce Experience and not other applications? If it only happens on Geforce Experience it could be a problem with them and not your hardware since you tested them.

I am saying when I open Geforce Experience is one way of triggering this problem but otherwise it happens randomly. For example, it could happen when I open a youtube video or I play a game and it randomly happens. But whenever I open Geforce Experience it always happens.

1. I did a virus check using Malwarebytes last night that took 11 hours and nothing was found in the whole scan. I looked at the resourse monitor and when I opened Geforce Experience the CPU Max Frequency jumps from 20% avarage to about 100% for about 10-15 seconds and then goes back down. I am not sure what that means but it happens every time I launch Geforce Experience.
2. All of the drivers are up to date.
3. I have that turned off.
4. I have 2 GPU's installed one is 1660 Ti and the other one is 1060 with only 2 slots in my motherboard.
5. I will try that but I tested both the RAM sticks which took 5 hours in total with memtest 86 and they both got a pass.
6. I only have my mouse and keyboard connected with USB.

My specs are:
CPU: i7 7700k (not overclocked) the cooler for it is Arctic Alpine 12
GPU's: Zotac 1660 ti 6GB and Asus 1060 3GB
RAM: 2x8 2133Mhz
Motherboard: ASRock B250M PRO4
PSU: Corsair CV650 80 PLUS Bronze
I have a few side fans on the case for good air flow.

1. It is on balanced.
2. It is off by default for me.
3. It was new when I got it 3 years ago.

Right now my OS is installed on my SSD but I have 2 hard drives available but this has happened before I installed the OS on the SSD.

try guru 3d drivers

I removed my drivers and then installed the new ones but it didn't help.
