Hello, this is my first time posting, and I just wanted some help with regards to my pc.
As you can see from the title, my main issue is that after a certain event/update, my pc was unable to perform at all in any game, it is a very decent gaming rig and just last week could run any game pretty well. My latest example was me being able to run sniper elite 2 on max, and league of legends on max(last 2 games I played). This update involved the MSi live update which seemingly just did a small update to the bios, prompting a dos screen and then automatically restarting my pc. I thought nothing of it as it seemed normal. However, since then, any game I play, I experience awful performance issues from my pc, very much feels like im playing on a bad laptop(because I have one), the frames drop rapidly and frequently throughout playing any game, and there doesnt seem to be an apparent reason I can grasp. I do not know what is wrong.
some specs at the top of my head:
gtx 660ti gpu
fx 8150 cpu
msi 760gm-p23 mobo
this system has run great, and I had a new case installed with multiple new fans aswell some months ago, so it cannot be overheating. I would like to see if someone has had any experience with this and if you know what I can do to solve this issue. A clean reinstall of windows might solve it, but I hope that I do not need to do so at this time.
one more thing, I do not notice anything wrong until i get into a game, I can play movies and youtube clips without it spiking or lagging.
thanks for any help provided.
