Fluctuating FPS in games
So uh, lately my computer has been a little moody. It's been getting pretty hot so I went out and bought a cooling pad, which may or may not be useless. Anyway, my main issue that I've noticed is that my FPS in games, mostly TF2, rapidly fluctuates. I can be standing in a map with no other players and the FPS can shoot from 112 to 24 and back within a second. I've tried many things, like using an FPS config (I used max quality and max frames and surprisingly there was very little difference), as well as throttlestopping and overclocking. Neither worked, so I'm back at my defaults. Anyone got some tips?
I realize I've created similar threads, but I believe this is a different issue.
Edit: Another thing that may be part of the problem is that when I'm in a clustered area for too long with a lot of action, my audio starts bugging out. It keeps bugging for a bit even after I've left the area or quit out of the game.
Another thing that's been happening is the audio sometimes stops coming through my headphones and comes out my speakers instead for a second or two for no real reason. This always happens when I get a low FPS and my audio starts buzzing.
