BeamNG Makes Entire Computer Lag?

Hi, this is really the only bug/problem i have ever experienced. The problem is, whenever I want to just drive a car around and listen to music/watch youtube etc, I have to watch/listen at 144p (and that even lags sometimes) otherwise the entire video will refuse to play completely, regardless if i quit or not. Can anyone help? I understand that BeamNG is a very CPU intensive game, however this problem has only started recently (around 0.14). Upon investigation, the CPU never overheats, nor does the graphics card and CPU usage in Task Manager never exceeds 90-95%. If this thread is in the wrong place, let me know and I will promptly remove it and put it in the suitable discussion. Thanks in advance, PC specs below

PC Specs:
Intel Core i5 3570K (Overclocked to 4.2GHz)
32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3 1600MHz RAM
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

 

What GPU drivers are you running?

 

Latest Nvidia drivers from GeForce Experience

 

okay so are you running the 0.16 game and you said you have to watch youtube at 144p?

 

Indeed. However as i said, sometimes 144p youtube is unwatchable due to the constant freezing. I waited for the hotfix to download and tried it again to see if it fixed it and the same problem is still prevalent.

 

Yeah something sounds majorly broken there how hot is that chip of yours getting up to?

 

I run an i5-3570k at 4.4 Ghz, have 16 GB of ram and have a GTX 1060 6GB, and I run into similar problems if my computer has been on a long time. Memory leaks and other stuff will gradually fill up your page file and ram, and cause browsers and other programs to freeze ocassionally. Restarting your PC will usually fix the problems for a few hours. What is the uptime on your computer when this happens?

 

I was just getting a number for you as i dont have it to hand, the temperature never went over 51C while playing on Gridmap with the Gavril D Series. drove around for 5 or so minutes and the temperature fluctuated between 47-51C

Usually after its been on an hour or 2. I shut down and unplug my pc at night because I'm paranoid of something going bang lol

Would also like to add, every time i've tried to watch a video in the background, whether i've just booted up my PC or its been on for most of the day, the same problem is here

 

Huh. Try to push a few more Mhz out of your clock then

 

Would also like to add,

I'll try that. I'll probably have to wait until i shut it down tonight to access the bios as my pc takes forever to boot up lol

 

That's not a serious answer by the way, I doubt the extra 200 MHz will make much of a difference. I better option would be to try a browser other than google chrome, and try to get rid of as many programs running in the background as possible

 

Best if you don't overclock your CPU. Try to unclock it then running the game. As for your graphics, your EVGA should do the job. Even my Potato PC can run beam on medium graphics.

Specs:
Intel Pentium
Intel HD Graphics
(any other stock pc parts)

 

It's quite normal, the magic of windows allocating GPU resources can get a bit hung up when the gpu is fully loaded, (even just the d3d or core load, check using HWiNFO), thus hardware accelerated stuff like watching videos, scrolling, anything that uses the GPU, lags..
Same issue with OBS and video encode, OBS needs to use the GPU, but when a game uses all the gpu resources, it gets a sort of high priority of the GPU and the other programs suffer, hence your stream suffers... i would love to use folding at home on my GPU but my machine lags all over.. so i kinda wish that windows would have a GPU priority inplace, but that is like wishing for pigs to fly..

lower GPU load by reducing graphical settings and cap your FPS
in addition, make sure windows' game mode is off (tutorials online)
