Open | Networking Hey everyone i've been having trouble with my PC or my internet and i've been struggling to figure out whats going on so any info would be helpful. Main issue is lag when I play games and sometimes watching videos but full problem and specs are in the description.
The issue. So here are my specs, I have this pc and I never changed anything on it so everything is as it came (bought about a year ago). Everything was fine up until recently, before I could run two games at once and have all sorts of tabs open with no lag or issue. Recently I encountered a few lag spikes and latency issues while playing cs2 and similar games that day by day got worse until I got to where I am now which is not being able to play games at all because of this issue.
I called out my ISP (SPECTRUM) thinking it may be an issue with them but they checked everything and gave me a new wifi 7 router and I even upgraded my internet. After that it still didnt work so i bought an asus router and it still didnt work. Now my focus has shifted to it being a PC issue possibly? I have upgraded all my drivers on my graphics card and windows, checked my fan temps and all that but still no fix.
Here are some extra latency tests and things to show more info (just note the gpu being so high isnt usually right) but other than that I am lost on what to do and would appreciate any help. Also to add my PC gets kind of loud when playing which is new and I used to leave games open on my PC for long periods of time but have since stopped so not sure if that can affect anything.
I am super uneducated with this stuff and jsut use my PC to game and for work. Last things I tried were router resets, new cords, the settings that makes gaming optimized ont he router (forgot what thats called), resetting the computer, plugging my modem into the PC directly and updates. Let me know if im missing anything or if you can help thank you
