Hey all, so about three days ago I was playing DotA, and all of a sudden my FPS goes from 144 to 20-30! Like literally all of a sudden.
I tried restarting, nothing worked. I gave up and assumed it was a new patch issue. I downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers and launched DotA, it worked fine.
Yesterday I was playing, the same thing just happened. Not only did the FPS drop, but the computer is acting sluggish and slow from the moment I turn it on.
I've done full virus checks, spyware checks, tried system restore. I thought it was dust, I opened the PC, it was spotless, like brand new. There was a bit of dust on the bottom of the PSU filter, I cleaned that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Specs:
1) Case: NZXT H440 V2 Plus-W CA-H442W-M1 Matte Black/Red Mid Tower Case
2) Motherboard: MSI Z170A GAMING M5 (DDR4) USB 3.1 (LGA1151)
3) CPU: Skylake 3.40 GHz - i7-6700
4) PSU: Corsair CMPSU-CS850M 850W PSU 80 Plus Gold Modular
5) RAM: Kingston HyperX Savage 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model HX324C11SRK2/16
6) SSD: Kingston SSDNow SM2280S3/240G 240GB M.2 SATA 6Gbps
7) MSI 1080 GTX
8) BenQ 24 inch GSYNC 144hz
9) Windows 10 Pro
And a UPS if that matters.
