Hello everyone,
I really would enjoy if someone could help work through this problem with me.
I recently formatted my C Drive due to virus' and deleted my windows.old folder, so I had wiped everything previous and was stupid enough to lose my CDs that came with my computer but after browsing for my drivers for my motherboard (GA-880GA-UD3H) and graphics card (MSI Radeon 6870 Twin Frozr II) I seemed to of ran into a specific problem, my motherboard would not allow me to identify my graphics card via programs like EasyRune6 and CPU-Z, unsure of the malfunction being on the software's side or mine, i go to test a couple of games, I ran League of Legends and normally i max the game with 60fps, in this case, i test out with all the settings at Very High, out of any combat I seemed fine, but when close to combat (even hovering over it) i get down to 2fps. I downloaded Borderlands 2 as well and try to run that, I get a flicker when i press Esc to go to the pause menu, and if i leave the program running (visually, not minimized) it flickers again until closed.
Previous History: I have had this computer since January of 2011, all parts listed below were not having any performance issues until after the format.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
Mobo: GA-880GA-UD3H by Gigabyte
Ram: 8GB of DDR3 (Corsair Vengeance 4x2)
GPU: Radeon 6870 (Twin Frozr II by MSI)
750W Power Supply
Windows 7 Home Premium
If possible a step by step process might help me too, id rather go over everything instead of overlooking specific things.
