ive checked amd overdrive, my gpu temp is stable, so is my cpu temps and all my core temps and my board temp is also stable. im struggling with even the simplest games i even get lag on minecraft while loading chunks, far cry 4, despite being able to run 60 fps on the same build as mine with the same settings, runs at 10-20 fps on my build. arma 2 runs at 30 fps with the same exact settings as people who have my build are using, and theyre getting a constant 60, all games are doing the same thing i am getting low fps with constant drops to even lower fps and i cant figure out why

specs: asrock fm2a8m-dg3+ board
am a10 7850k 3.7GHz apu
g skill ripjawsx 2x 8gb-2133MHz ddr3 ram
thermaltake smart 750w power supply
seagate 1tb hard drive

as a final note, yes ive already checked in my bios to make sure my ram was actually running at 2133 mhz

What chipset are you running vs other build? Have any bios settings been changed at any time? Has an OC been attempted on apu, northbridge or ram? I would look to bios settings first. Next i would look at drivers. After that i would wipe the drive and start with a fresh os. If none of the above work it might be time to look at hardware problems (ram, hdd, etc)
Can you clarify the motherboard?

Is it the ASRock fm2a58m-dg3+ http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A58M-DG3+/

or this ? http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A68M-DG3+/

or this? http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A88M-DG3+/

Are these other systems you are comparing with running on the same motherboard?
