Hello, i have a problem with FPS in every game, especially in Source games. Before, i had Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit, and games had like 40-60 FPS.. generally. I used it a lot so i decided upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate because i realised i had 4 GB of RAM.

I installed all the drivers necessary that were up to date, and i have started playing games. At first, in normal minecraft i was getting aprox. 100 fps with all settings set to max. In modded Minecraft i was getting solid 60 fps. I have installed some other games, tried them out then decided to try TF2 aswell. When i have played it for the first time, i had bad fps (<30 fps), i have quit the game and then tried to find a fix. Later i have found out all my games have bad FPS and i cannot find what to do.

Attempt to fix:
1. Reinstalled Graphics Card Drivers
2. Tried Razer Game Booster
3. Reinstalled Java
4. Changed some stuff in the registry (undone them after)

Computer specs:
CPU: Intel Core i3-2350M @ 2.30 GHz
RAM: 4GB of RAM (3.97 usable)
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GT 520MX

Thanks in advance for your answers!

I already told you what your problem is, if you don't feel like upgrading your ram, then roll back to 32-bit Windows. Good luck!

IT IS A RAM PROBLEM! Maybe one of your sticks is bad, if not add more!

These issues can also be caused by unecessary files on the hard drive.Try cleaning your system of junk by using ccleaner .Then type"%temp%"in the windows search and delete all the files.It can also be caused by malware. Try scanning your system with some good antivirus

I just re-installed the Windows now, i haven't deleted 1 of the partitions though, so the malware must be hiding in there (if it exists). Minecraft seems to run at solid 60 fps, but i cannot run stuff like Tekkit or Attack of the B-team (2 fps) like before, which is a bummer :(.
Also tf2 has good FPS, so i'm all good, i mostly want to run Attack of the B-Team though :(.
Thanks everybody.

Hm... I agree to disagree. Who told you of this "sweet spot"? I'm still using 4GB RAM with my Windows 7 64bit and everything works flawlessly.
I have monitored my RAM usage while playing a 48 player map in BF 4 and the max usage it hit was 92% during loading.

The amount of RAM the guy got installed has absolutely nothing to do with FPS drop. It's probably caused by overheating of his hardware or something wrong with the software/drivers or maybe malware/viruses.
