Hi I have been having a lot of problems with all of my PC my games (I mostly play CS:GO) they are laggy and kind of like stuttering and screen cutting up a bit and every so often it just comes up CSGO has stopped working and closing to desktop so really they just aren't performing very well at all. My PC is clean of all viruses checked with numerous programmes all seems fine and all my drivers are up to date. My FPS and Ping seem absoloutley fine in game also and I play all my games on low settings with vsync and aa off also so I have no idea why this is happening I really need to try and get this fixed asap so if anyone can help me identify the problem or fix these issues I would be very grateful. Thanks.

My system specs are -

Processor - intel(R) core(TM) i5--2500k CPU @ 3.3GHz 3.30 GHz
Installed Memory (RAM) - 8.00GB
64 Bit Operating System - Windows 7 Ultimate
System Man - MSI
Model - MSI-7681

Graphics card -
AMD RADEON HD 6800 SERIES
INTEL DAC (400MHZ)
CHIP TYPE - AMD RADEON GRAPHICS PROCESSOR (0x6738)

PSU IS 850W

Hello Buckzz,

Please do not despair. We will help you to the fullest of our abilities.

1. There is a chance in graphics rendering failure if the card is not properly seated in the PCI/PCIE slot. I recommend you to turn the computer off and remove the graphics card from the slot. Afterwards, insert it back again in a proper way by making the card to stand on the slot first and then push the card completely inside. Next, turn the system on and see if the problem is resolved.

2. Make sure you've downloaded and installed the display driver only from here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64

3. Sometimes, elevating the core voltage might sort this issue out. Download MSI afterburner and tweak the core voltage...

Games can lag for a lot of reasons , test your processor , videocard , hdd , ram in special programs , watch the temperature also , after the testing you can identify what component is working bad , try it

If you follow what necromancer said, this is the possible route you'll be taking

CPU test:- SIS sandra or PCmark Suite. Or AID64 full stress test
GPU test:- Furmark(hands down the most CPU free GPU stress test ever)
HDD Test:- Copy 12GBs from one partition to another
RAM test:- Try making a small RAM drive of 200mb and see if it can hold 200mb data for 20 mins without crashing.

Then there's the power problem
 
Hello Buckzz,

3. Sometimes, elevating the core voltage might sort this issue out. Download MSI afterburner and tweak the core voltage up a tad. Click here for the tutorial. To be safe, make sure the temperature doesn't surpass 75/80 C. You can play with the fan profile to maintain the temperature even after increasing the stock voltage.

4. Keep an eye on the power supply unit. 850W isn't much vital for the graphics card; the ampere rating in +12V rail matters a lot. To know this, look at the sticker on top of the PSU.

5. The GPU's unfavorable temperature will throttle the performance and exit the graphic-intense applications right away. As pointed out in 3rd step, please adjust the fan profile in order to maintain the VRM's temperature below 85 (In an average, the core temperature added with 5 C will give you the VRM's temp). Run UNIGINE HEAVEN BENCHMARK for at least an hour to record the maximum temperature utilized by your graphics card.

Hope I've helped.

Hi again I have tried all of your instructions and they havent helped I have also checked all my temps and stuff and they all seem fine really dont know what can be happening maybe my gpu is getting old and i should maybe upgrade or is there anything else I can try to fix this one as I am pretty low on funds at the minute ?Thanks
 
Hi Buckzz,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I believe your card is about to expire and hence you are able to observe random crashes during graphic-intense tasks. Before buying a new card, please try using the same card in a different computer so that you can make sure the card is almost dead.
