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

    My CPU keeps spiking to %100 and then my GPU to %20, then my game keeps dropping fps and the spikes are crazy.

  3. 100% Disc Usage (Spikes) Not always at 100%

    Yeah i understand that downloading causes it to spike... The only problem with that is even after it cont to idle high... or when playing a game or something it will randomly spike to 100% then drop back down fast then spike again cause random hiccups int he game i will get a screenshot but i gotta download a game first i completely reinstalled windows 10. Its currently low disc usuage atm cause im not doing anything as soon as i start playing something its going to keep spiking

    Cpu usage spikes

    Hello ! My PC specs are the following:

    - AMD Ryzen 1600x CPU

    - Nvidia Gtx 1060 6gb GPU

    - 8 GB DDR4 RAM ( 2400 MHz)

    - Asus B350 Prime Plus Motherboard

    Sometimes I get those weird spikes ( they come and go ) lasting for 1-2 seconds of 100% CPU utilization. In idle state the CPU utilization stays between 5-10% ( up to 20% if im browsing the internet and having programs like Steam, Discord etc running in
    background), but when the spike comes I can see how the pc freezes for 1 second ( typical lag freeze) and how the cpu utilization rizes to 100% CPU then jumps back down to under 20%. I have waited with taskmanager such a spike and discovered that when it happens,
    System NT Kernel & System is the one process that its sudently eating up all the CPU resources.

    I tried updating all the drivers and im still having the problem. Here is a Windows Performance Record

    link
    where I left the pc running for 45 minutes and I saw atleast 1 spike happening in those 45 minutes ( I kept going away from the computer and coming back).
