Hey people,
Two weeks ago I decided to install Diablo 3 to get ready the expansion. Right after the install I decided to run the game and noticed that the screen was choppy. It was as if I was playing with very poor FPS. I didn't think much of it and thought it might only be temporary, but it never went away. I decided to test out other games (Dota 2 and CS:GO) which were running fine on highest settings and now they too were experiencing the same exact issue.
Here are the troubleshooting steps I've already gone through:
-Scanned for virus/malware/spyware/etc and cleaned found problems
-Uninstalled video card drivers (with Display Driver Uninstaller via safe mode) and reinstalled latest drivers for my card
-Uninstalled Diablo 3 and tested other games
-Ran Windows Update to ensure latest patches/updates were installed
-Reformatted my computer and installed Windows 8.1 (was using Windows 7 before)
-Enabled high performance for Windows & in my video card control center
-Opened my case and reseated the RAM
-Tested my video card in a friends computer and it ran games fine for 2hrs+
Everything else on my computer runs fine (YouTube HD videos, DVD movies, all other programs that aren't games).
I built my computer last year and it was running fine up until two weeks ago. Here are my specs:
(I didn't overclock anything)
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46
CPU: AMD 6-CORE FX-6300
PSU: CORSAIR 500W CX500 R
Video card: SAPPHIRE HD 7870 GHz Edition OC 2GB GDDR5
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2x4GB)
If anyone has any expertise or ideas as to where I could go next in terms of troubleshooting or solving my issue, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
