When playing league my screen locks ups for a second or two.
List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.
I noticed that my disk was hitting 100% usage. I formatted the drive and reinstalled windows. I barely have anything installed/running. I tried disabling several OS items. Also noticed that it tends to spike when I have google chrome open. Tried resetting chrome to default settings, disabling all extensions/syncing.
The mobo and GPU are new. Ran memtest and no issues with the RAM. RAM never goes higher than 4gigs. CPU temps/usage are fine (not sure why this would matter)
My next step is to just replace the SSD but want to exhaust all not-$$ options first.
Any suggestions?
