    Lag spikes during gaming


    Hi there, I have been having trouble with my PC lately. (specs below)
    during games I will be at say 300FPS and then suddenly it will drop to 50ish fps for 1 second then shoot back up to 300fps again. this happens in most of my games but CS:GO is hit the most, call of duty titles that I play aren't too badly affected
    ♠Nvidia Max performance settings (no power consumption protection)
    ♠AMD Cool n quiet disabled


    ♠SPECS

    - MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard AM3+
    - AMD FX-8350 @ 4.20 GHz
    - GTX 750ti (Asus 2GB)
    - OCz Agility 3 240GB SSD (Boot)
    - WD 1TB HDD BLUE 7200RPM
    - Seagate 5400RPM Drive 500GB
    - G-Skill Rip Jaws @ 2133MHz
    - Zalman Z9+ Case
    - Corsair CX500W
    - Windows 7 64 Bit

    My windows 7 install is 3 weeks old with all updates installed, and it's legit. I had this problem before and it was my PSU which I got changed and now it's kind of coming back.

    Disable C1E in BIOS too if enabled.
