windows 8.1 pro
intel(R)core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20ghz
nvidia GTX 760 4gb
8gb ram.

please help ive tryed almost everything, clean fresh install's of drivers. nothing seems to work.

cheers

pull the heatsink. reapply new thermal compound. reinstall the heatsink............ and as a matter of fact............ pull the motherboard out of the case and install it. that way you'll know for sure that the pins on it are secured properly because you'll be able to see them from the back.


fans......... as a general rule........... lower front fans suck air in./upper back fans suck it out. but this is neither here nor there while the cpu's temps are so high. stop using the machine until fixed............. find a friend that actually knows a little more about computers to help.

yeah just a low fps, my freind has a GTX 560 and hes playing BF4 on low, but is getting a steady 60 frames near enough. when im playing on low mine are bouncing from 9 frames to 50 then back down, like its not a stable fps. unplayable and very annoying :(

Right now, the only thing I can think of is that your friend plays in a lower resolution maybe.
E.g. your friend is playing in 720p whilst you're playing in 1080p.
Maybe?

there are no jumpers on my motherboard, but i read up and it says to just remove the battery for a few mins then put it back in. done that and it came up when i rebooted the pc id reset my bios so i assume it worked, although it hasnt made much of a diffrenence to gameplay :( no luck

before doing the BIOS update finish the windows updates. reboot and go back/reboot and go back/reboot and go back.......... no, I don't have a stutter. just make sure you get all the fixes for the fixes.

read your motherboard booklet............. I've been in the habit of using the BIOS update tools from the manufacturers sites. done right from the desktop. easiest way ever. whether you'll have that option I don't know.

turn off all apps ( msconfig box ) like anti virus/anti malware and other programs/reboot and then run the program.
