Windows 10: High end gaming desktop turning slow overnight.

I've had my pc for about 1.5 years now and it has worked perfectly. When i booted my computer last night it didn't really work as expected. I launched my computer and instantly noticed delays in opening programs and moving application windows over the screen. When i later started my games i got 5-10 fps instead of 60+ (ARMA 3). I closed the game after seeing that the loading of objects was super slow. I've tested the fps on different games and it just felt slow, wierd and stuttery. When i reboot my computer it works fine for about a minute being buttery smooth. Then it just spikes, Audio sutters and the pc becomes really slow. average CPU temp 29 degrees C

I don't know alot about this issue but when idling I'm getting 2-3% cpu usage 29% Memory usage 0% Disk usage 0% network usage and 2-4% gpu usage.

High End Game on a Low end PC

what happens when playing high end games on low end pc

 

High end build, stuttering in every game

I mean power management. Your CPU can step down speed and voltages below reported specs. You can limit this feature in Windows Power Management so that your CPU always run at 100% frequency (or at Turbo Boost frequency when temps allow) and rated voltages.

Example:

On Balanced/Powersaving Mode a 3GHz CPU could be running at 800-3000MHz. Every time no process need full 3GHz, the CPU is speed stepped down to lets say 2.5GHz, if not even that is needed for full app performance, then the frequency is dropped further
down until we reach the lower limit which was 800MHz in this case.

Now when your app suddenly need more speed, the CPU speed start to slowly speed step upwards until it reaches high enough for the app or it reached it's MAX. This can be a too slow process for things like games, so everything fall out of sync. Hence short freezes in the game.

On High Performance Mode a 3GHz CPU always run at least on 100% speed and sometimes even at MAX Turbo Boost frequency, thus possibly eliminating the small lags in Balanced/Powersaving Mode.


So, do you need assistance in configuring these settings? We could set up a Gaming profile for max performance and a balanced mode for normal desktop usage that would keep your computer quiet but responsive.

Nice piece of software right there......here's mine and I'm shocked.
