Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Why does my cpu and gpu keep spiking and dropping fps in games?

Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

Experiencing CPU and GPU spikes, along with FPS drops in games, can be frustrating. Here are some potential solutions to help you address these issues:

1. Update Drivers:
   
   • Regularly update your graphics and chipset drivers to the latest versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
     
2. Close Background Processes:
   
   • Use Task Manager to close unnecessary background processes and applications that might be using system resources.
     
3. Improve Cooling:
   
   • Clean your PC's fans and ensure proper airflow. Consider adding more fans or using a more aggressive cooling solution if necessary.
     
4. Check for Malware:
   
   • Run a full system scan to check for malware that might be using system resources.
     
5. Adjust Game Settings:
   
   • Lower the game's graphical settings to reduce the workload on your GPU and CPU. This can help maintain a more stable FPS.
     
6. Test Hardware:
   
   • Test your GPU and other hardware components on another system to rule out hardware failure. If a component is faulty, consider replacing it.
     
7. Enable Unified GPU Usage Monitoring:
   
   • If using MSI Afterburner, enable "unified GPU usage monitoring" to potentially fix usage spikes and stuttering.
     
8. Check Internet Connection:
   
   • Ensure your internet connection is stable, especially for online games. A weak connection can cause FPS drops.
