PC noob here, freezes, loss of sound, crashes, delayed ability voicelines
Whenever I play Valorant if I barely have anything else open (like Discord per say), I'll get at least a few of the three per game (I don't even try having more stuff open like Overwolf or I get many per game). The freezes are complete loss of control (though I've noticed it keeps my input, as in if I was going forward it'll keep me sprinting). If the freeze is long/big enough, itll lead to a connection error crashing my game. Sometimes I simply lose the sound for a few seconds or ability voicelines are delayed (VERY obnoxious for stuff like Raze ult, where I would hear her line after she's already sent the rocket)
I also generally have pretty inconsistent FPS, ranging from 300 to ~120 depending on how much action is going on (I think? All I know is it's 300 when I'm alone with nothing and it can get to 120 in game)
Here are my specs, I think it may be a CPU issue but I am clueless about computers so I'd love any advice :
CPU : Intel Core i5-7600k 3.80GHz
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
RAM : 40 GBs
Here's a clip of a pretty typical freeze, it's usually this length or longer
