Right. In august 2014, I bought a new processor, which is the AMD Phenom II X4 965 to replace my AMD Athlon II X3 440. But for some reason, the phenom is running worse than the Athlon. This issue has been fixed once before already by reinstalling my OS, but now, a few months later, I'm having the same issue.

What's actually happening:

Well I don't have a graph for the FPS counter, but it goes like 60-120 and then drops to like 12 and goes back up. And it does it many times in a minute which is why it's pretty annoying.
As I've mentioned, I've fixed this previously. And how I did this was getting the guys that installed my new CPU (a hardware store) to scan it for problems. They encountered that it was the windows that was messing my FPS up, and then they reinstall windows and all was good.

Here's a list of my specs.
AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.40 GHz
16,0 GB DDR3 Memory
ASUS Geforce GTX 650 Ti
64-bit

Also, the game I'm having problems with is primarily Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
I've also gotten these launch commands: -novid -nod3d9ex -High -Threads 4 -fps_max 61.

And it is not a overheating problem, since I've already tested that.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Louie

From bios/uefi, what CPU temps are you getting? CPU fan rpm? CPU Voltage?

Check your BIOS. It may be the processor trying to go to some power saving mode. I've heard of this before with AMD processors.

I've actually just reinstall my BIOS from the disc that came with my motherboard.

I'm quite the CPU noob. So I don't know how too find out what my fan RPM is or my CPI Voltage.
So.. How do I?

turn on "triple buffering" and "adaptive" for vertical sync in the NVidia control panel.

Which fan is running at 6976rpm?

Can't see your PSU voltages.

Your 8gb ram and cpu seem to be running OK. Your GPU is at idle.

Here's another screenshot. More updated, since I've gotten more RAM.



Also, How do I find my PSU Voltages?
