Hello all,
Hoping someone can help me here.
I recently did a complete reinstall after having problems running games on my pc (all of my games would run for 1-2 mins then just immediately boot me out). I ran all my virus software but it sound nothing. Long story short, I reinstalled everything.
Since reinstalling I have installed all of my mobo and GPU drivers, no unnescessary programs and just a few games so far ( AC4, Civ5, Lego Marvel). That said, I have had to drop the settings on every game SIGNIFICANTLY to even get them to run properly. AC4 used to run without any problems whatsoever on maxed settings (by no volumetric smoke or god rays) but not I get significant slowdown on minimal settings.
When reinstalling everything I did clean out the dust from my computer including the heat sink on the cpu. When putting it back on I was only able to clip 3 of the 4 brackets in, no matter how I tried I was unable to get the 4th in and was concerned about breaking something. As such, there could be a slight gap between them? Also, I didn't replace any of the contact stuff that helps with heat transferrnce.
My specs:
Mobo: P8 Z77-V LK
CPU: Intel i5-3570 @ 3.4 GHz
Ram: 16 GB
GPU: Asus HD 6850
Also, I grabbed a gadget that determines my CPU useage and running simple pages throws it up to about 30% on all cores, and playing AC4 threw up all up to 95%+
Any help would be VERY much appreciated.
Thanks
