Hi… I have a really bad fps drop problem. Every 10-30sec in a similar intervals the fps drop down real low and you can’t do anything.
I can’t find the cause. I updated Windows 7 and it seemed to fix it… but several weeks later it’s much worse. The game is unplayable for now.
The most likely causes are overheating (either because of overclocking or a dying fan) or bad drivers. It could also be something you’re running in the background causing problems, but that’s pretty extreme.
A couple of years ago I was living in an old house that had lots of noise over the power lines. My old power supply didn’t like that and I would get frame drops in every game I played, including AE. To fix it, I had to buy a new power supply, but in the mean time I used a device I had lying around that removed noise over power, which fixed the problem.
