So my gaming desktop was working a couple of weeks ago when i was playing dark souls 2. It was a smooth 60 fps as it should be (GTX 680 direct cu ii top and i7-3770k). I played south park stick of truth and its working fine. However, any other game i try is extremely slow and laggy, such as watch dogs, child of light, and dark souls 2 (recently). For example, while I was getting 60 fps in ds2 before, now it is 5 fps when im moving and when i am completely still it is only 26 fps. This is extremely worrying. Child of light is extremely unplayable and watch dogs is also hard to play (worked ok for a while). Recently my computer has been having some problems. For example, it suddenly just went dead on me. However, I am inclined to believe that this was due to a faulty UPS. Also I noticed one time that every few minutes my computer would stutter and my mouse would lag for 5 seconds. This was fixed upon restarting. However, another curious thing upon restarting was that I got the blue screen of death. Couldn't read what it said in time unfortunately (always catches me off guard). ANyway please help thanks!Q
If this helps...I had to reinstall windows like a few months back and these people changed my motherboard.

If you could post the rest of your specs I could see if there are any easy fixes. If there are np easy hardware fixes then there are a few steps we can take to resolve this problem.
