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.
     

Please do let me know if the method I suggested works for you or if you need further assistance.

 

Random CPU temperature spikes.

Have a I7 4790 CPU, windows 10. Never had this issue before, started to happen about 3 days ago. Cleaned my whole computer today, no change. Idle is about 30C, randomly CPU spikes to 40-50C, without gaming, just on desktop.

 

Audiodg.exe Spikes Cpu Usage

Every 5 minutes or so audiodg.exe spikes my cpu usage to about 50% and any audio im playing cuts out and then comes back a second or 2 later. The video is completely fine and it's not a problem with
my USB Headset. audiodg.exe stays at low cpu usage when it's not spiking.

Solutions I've tried:

1. turning off audio enhancements
2. reinstalling lan, and audio drivers
3. turning off HPET
4. lowering the sound quality in control panel
5. DPC Latency checker (no change when spiking)

None of these solutions work. Please help.
