Recently I have been receiving strange lag spikes in general use of my PC. These spikes occur when using Google Drive, playing games or doing whatever. A lot of the time my PC is very fast and responsive, however every minute or so everything slow down for about twenty seconds; typing becomes laggy, games freeze up etc. I do not know the cause of this issue and any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks, Isaac
