Sapphire Radeon R7 240 WITH BOOST 1GB DDR5 128-bit

WD BLUE 1 TERRA

SSD SAMSUNG 850 EVO

CPU ID-Cooling FROSTFLOW 120L

My problem is that i ve recently made this pc with the lattest drivers for w10 and the gpu an i dont belive that i can t play usual games, when i open a game for example black ops III, or BF4 or open the youtube it freze , it freeze a lot af time, there is no difference if the cpu is overclocked or is on it s fabric frequency, it s so frustrating, before this cpu i5 6600k i had an i3 6100 and i didnt had this issue, so please give me a solution because its very upsetting.

Hi Cata34,

 

 

Let's try to test your system with the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool, to verify the functionality of your system. The diagnostic checks for brand identification, verifies the processor operating frequency, tests specific processor features, and performs a stress test on the processor.

 

Please attach the results to your answer.

Also, could you please attach the result of the Intel® System Support Utility?

Hello Hellen

I'm experiencing the same exact problem like Cata, i have same i5-6600k@ 4.6Ghz and cpu usage in some games is 100% wich is bottlenecking my GPU GTX 970.

I ran the diagnostic tool and it said my cpu passed for everything, right now only typping this uses 30% of my cpu and this is the only thing i'm doing.

Thanks

Dear Hellen

Thank you for responding but i just found the solution for my problem.

I had to disable HPET (High Precision Event Timer) looks like the z170 mobos auto enable it or

something but i couldn't disable it manualy since i use the asus z170 pro gaming and the asus mobos

don't have the option to disable/enable it.

So i had to download a program that does all of it for me: http://www.bytemedev.com/programs/harmonic-help/ http://www.bytemedev.com/programs/harmonic-help/

Since then my I5-6600k works like a BEEASTT

I'm sorry for wasting your time Helen.

Have a nice day!

Eduard
