Infrequent lag spikes

[haidernaji]

Hi, I recently bought my HP OMEN 40L desktop about a month ago from Best Buy. Everything has been running smoothly for a while until I randomely started getting lagspikes. This could happen in any application, including just the desktop (the desktop lag is rare). Before you ask, I had updated windows 11, installed new graphics drivers, and restarted my pc constantly. My specs are;

Ryzen 5 7600 6 core 12 threads
Nvida Geforce RTX 4060
16gb ram
1tb SSD

Windows 11

I also have done one of the windows built in RAM tests and nothing happened.  A virus scan with windows defender resulted in nothing. Any help? Should i upgrade ram? Change cpus? Reinstall windows? 

PS, Many of these posts include the AMD drivers for the integrated graphics and whatnot causes some lag, Should I uninstall them?

Lag spikes are quite common and are usually related to a network app.

There is a discussion here and the Microsoft MVP'er has a list of suggestions

I had a problem like this on another OEM system and traced it down to the temperature monitoring and control system.  It was querying the temperature too often so I disabled it. 

Could be a network app trying to phone home and retrying when there was no response.  Look in the windows event viewer under system and apps for timeouts.
