Hi guys, I have been playing some games on my pc for a long time. I have played these games (all that are cpu reliant) with relative ease at around medium setting and +35 fps.

I know my PC isnt great for gaming but I have never had it run my games like this. For example, I play League of Legends every now and then and I can get up to +50 fps with YouTube in the back ground. However, now i cant play it above 15 fps and my YouTube lags if i play it at the same time. Im also not able to play games like CS GO at all as it says I dont have the requirements to run it.

I have never had a problem like this before and I am certain it has nothing to do with my PC's specs but I really need to fix this problem. Also, this was all of a sudden as I played games fine one night but had an issue the next

Specs:
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2130 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3400 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
RAM: 6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
Graphics: Intel Microsoft Basic Display Adapter
Storage: 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-75ZF5A0 (SATA)

Did all the problems start when you upgraded to windows 10 if so the display adapter drivers are to blame you are using basic generic driver which is no good for games.
You need to find out what type of video gpu is on that motherboard and install a proper driver what motherboard do you have?.

@Geofelt Hello! I dont remember doing anything too drastic to my computer. It was just another regular day.

I will try to use that software to clear things up. I have tried other but I dont think they were any good. Thanks.

Hey man, thanks a lot! It seems like i didnt properly update the driver. Im playing on cpu reliant games which is why I can play them really well so i didnt think of my display adapters (i know, im pretty ignorant on this subject). Anyways, thanks again
