Alright so basically, I got help from a user here before who stated that I needed to update my BIOS to run my new pc components, which was indeed correct, the computer would not boot without the update. So I updated said bios, and the process exhibited signs of failure and I had no idea what was going on, I had to restart the computer multiple times after it shut itself off for a good 30 minutes, so I absolutely didn't cancel the BIOS update. After I rebooted a ton of times, the pc worked with the new parts and it still does, as I've been tolerating it for months. Basically, the GPU usage spikes from 100 to 0% over and over ingame which causes UNBEARABLE lag. My temps are low as hell, with my GPU at below 60 at ALL TIMES. My cpu also never goes above around 60, even with a stock cooler. I'm wondering if the reason for all of the lag I'm receiving is from the BIOS, as I've been told by multiple people that it is probably a faulty bios update that's causing it. My motherboard is a BIOSTAR A960D+, my CPU is a FX-8320, which on the website clearly states up to the 8370 is supported. My gpu is a R9 380 with 4gb of video ram. I'd really appreciate advice and especially how to update the BIOS properly this time if it is the case, as the website gives very linear instructions, practically telling me to "go to the bios and press update" when there is no clear option. The way I did it the first time was by inserting a USB with a zip file i downloaded from the biostar website, from my motherboards page, and clicking on it to download, that didn't work so I extracted it onto the USB and ran it from an executable file and it seemed to update.
Would appreciate the help alot and as fast as possible, been going for months with rediculous lag spikes and I'd love to get it resolved and finally enjoy what my money was spent on.
