Hello everyone,
after trying and trying i've become stuck with a problem with my pc and as last resort i am asking you guys for help.
Thing is, i got a budget gaming pc, and with a lot of games, but especially ArmA 3, i get a steady fps around 20-30, but with heavy stuttering and short term freezing. lowering the graphics doesn't seem to help at all.
my specs are
-Nvidia GT 640 Asus
-MSI motherboard H61M-P31 (G3) with a 1155 socket
-Intel quad core ivy bridge i5 3350p
-8G of RAM
-windows 7
-directx11
-monitor HP L1906
i know games like arma 3 are cpu heavy, but the pc is 2 years old now and it used to be fine.
in the past (little dumb me) i got asus gpu tweak and that gave me the ability to overclock the cpu, as far as i did not know the concequences, i just fully clocked everything, always. maybe that has something to do with it but i don't know.
also, if i look at the usage of the GPU and cpu i see that the GPU doesn't max over 40% during heavy usage and gaming, and the cpu floats around 60-70%, while my RAM usage is about 5G.
Last night i decided to wipe my whole hard disk, as i've had some mallware before, and started with a new clean disk. so with a clean pc and only 1 game installed+drivers i checked if the problem was still there and yes.
I hope this is enough information for you guys and would be glad to hear and solution.
cheers
