Doubt it. But you can check CPU by running Prime95 stress test.
Well pcsx2 CAN cause a system to bsod if it unstable OC'ed or not but he not getting bsod so i doubt there faulty, sound like something is throttling it random to me
This is odd. On desktop I would be suspecting VRM throttling. Hmm.
I'm still suffering from this annoying issue.
I uninstalled my Nvidia GPU driver and ran the game with my Intel GPU. On average I got around 30 fps but hoped I wouldn't still get those huge random drops. Unfortunately they still happened, in the same places. Instead of dropping from 60fps to around 40, they dropped from 30 to around 10-15.
Any other suggestions??
does it happen on other games/apps?
I never noticed it before but it has happened in a few of my PC games. However many continue to run flawlessly (as they always have).
This may be unrelated but I feel its worth a mention. I had been experiencing really low fps in random locations in fallout 3 (similar to pcsx2) and no matter how low I lowered my settings nothing seemed to get rid of them. In my last attempt to fix them I installed this mod
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/17209/?, which (according to the readme file) "will trick the game into thinking you have an Nvidia geforce 7000". This completely got rid of the fps issues and I can now run the game near maximum settings at a stable 60 fps.
If that incident is indeed relevant then I would assume it is a driver issue as bositman suggested. but since I have tried a number of older drivers (both Intel and Nvidia) I'm at a loss as to what to do next.
I feel I need to apologize. as shown by Blyss Sarania I did think that this issue was limited to pcsx2. since most of my games are still playing without any issues.
