Feels like a memory leak with only EA titles
So I have been having an issue that started around the launch of fc25 since that launch I have been playing 2042 alot. It can be anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours of play time and I will start to ge...

tbh its not thermal throttling its a spike to 90c that is common with the 5800x3d
What is the motherboard's voltage regulator module (VRM) temperature?
I'm trying to figure out why the PC becomes unstable and it persists through restarts. RAM memory is cleared during restart so I doubt it's a memory leak causing the instability.
You can also bring up task manager (alt+ctl+del) and see if the CPU frequency is downclocking while playing 2042 in window mode instead of full screen mode. Set task manager to 'always on top' so you can see it while playing.
here is a VRM mos im assuming this is the temp you was after
So spoke to a mate who had stutters about a year ago, and the intel gigabit network adapter properties has an issue with its power management, there is a tick box to allow the computer to turn off the device to save power. This apparently caused his Apex legends and only that game to stutter. I have turned this off and the freezing hasn't happened since but still a slight stutter every so often and hasn't affected any other applications since. Still early days but fingers crossed I'm getting closer to a full fix :'D
Spoke to soon issue is back, I am playing bf1 at the moment and it happened for the first time in a week, only change being a windows update last night. I will upload screenshots as requested asap
Yeah I can upload one when I get home from work. but only one I have been able to get hasnt had the issue present, would you still want it? I cannot seem to replicate it since my last reply
It happened tonight so here is a video with the issue too lol https://streamable.com/jbx0zt
and a bonus one from 2042, took the opportunity to use the fact it started, when the first freeze happens I was able to spin on the spot but not and aim but nothing else. https://streamable.com/xgpsz6
Try disabling DX12 in Battlefield 1 video settings and see if that stops the stutter.
Typing 'PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1' into the Battlefield command console without the quotes will show more performance information.
If you think Windows Update is messing up your drivers, you can use the LatencyMon app to see if any drivers are causing latency issues.
https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon
There's Windows Update settings to prevent Windows from automatically updating PC system drivers. It only works for Windows Pro, not Windows Home. The settings to disable driver updates is in the Group Policy Editor.
See the section 'Windows 11 - Stopping Automatic Driver and BIOS Updates'
So dx12 was already off, its taken a while but I got the issue to happen in one game so far although its only been a blip and didn't get it in the next game. I will try latencyMon as well and let you know how I get on here is the clip on todays misadventure https://streamable.com/fbp4l1
So this might have pointed in the right direction with latencymon (you might be able to ignore the interrupt as that happened when I alt tabbed mid game so might be self inflicted) but the hard pagefault count continues to rise and slowly has gotten faster lol. I foun this quote on another forum from 2018 "Page faults need to get resolved immediately and any thread that hits them is suspended until the pagefault is resolved. Hitting a hard pagefault on a page file or memory mapped file that is backed on a drive that is spun down because of a power feature may interrupt a program for several seconds until it can proceed." this sounds exactly like what happens like the pc catches up to where it should be.
Here is the report after 2.5 hours of running with bf2042 running even in the menu for at least an hour or so https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTuJLoyfL65LkjFiPPIPgJ5F9vJuIbSHAeDWJTM0iFU970p-lCsqVYOYFKgqSB-ZK8bF4R9odwdnhmB/pub
You can try completely disabling the Windows Page File for all hard drives.
https://tunecomp.net/win10-page-file-disable/
Turning off the Page File won't hurt anything unless Windows runs out of RAM memory storage capacity. If that happens programs will probably crash due to running out of RAM memory.
I personally game with the Page File disabled. Make sure to disable it on all the hard drives.
You can always turn the Page File back on later if you want.
Thank you I will try that after dinner xD I have also taken a screen shot of resource monitor in case there is something not normal here
So the only way I have been able to prevent it from happening has been clearing the standby, is there a way to stop it continuously eating my ram allowance and turning it into standby?
not saying I have found a fix yet... but, I enabled resizable BAR and 4g decoding in the bio and have seen improvements on RamMap and latencymon still have a spike on latency mon when the game starts but thats about it and the standby ram is currently sitting stable rather than completely filling up
@MeetDT it can be standby issue indeed. There was an issue in the past with the older versions windows 10.
Here a page for some info https://www.wisecleaner.com/think-tank/507-3-Solutions-for-Windows-10-Standby-Memory-Issues.html
Best option is to disable standby (sleep/hibarnation) mode (s3/s5 in bios ect ect ect).
Disable it and test if this improves game play and update us please.
cheers
Sometimes it can be a HDD /SSD/NVME issue.
To slow HDD/SSD <- broken damaged (files ect ect), or even a firmware update (NVME drives/Bios) can help
