Hey guys, so some time ago my PC stopped sending signal to the monitor. My specs were [ FX 6300 , 8GB RAM, ATI HD 4670 ]. Holding the power button to turn it off then turning it back on would solve the case most of the time.
After a while, due to this, my windows install was corrupt, so I decided to install Windows 10, but I regretted it since all my games (even old games) were running very slow. I thought it was because the 4670 didn't have driver support for windows 10. The next day it wouldn't even send video signal to the monitor, and since I was saving up for a 750Ti I went out and bought it.

Then after installing the 750Ti and re-installing Windows 7, I noticed that the gaming performance was still poor. I tried everything like updating drivers, updating directX, cleaning the dust from my PC but it didn't work. I can't get past 10~20 fps even on GTA SAN ANDREAS!!
Do any of you guys have any idea what might have happened? Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistake.

PC specs:
FX 6300 3.5GHZ
Gigabyte GTX 750Ti Low Profile 2GB GDDR5
8 GB RAM 1333MHZ Kingston (brand new, bought it alongside the 750Ti)
500W PSU
1TB Seagate Hard Disk (bought it in march)
ASRock N68 S3 FX mobo

Your temps are good 60DegC isn't high. I would recommend you getting a new PSU. Running a 6 core cpu PC on a generic PSU can cause trouble.

Also bad PSU can damage RAM. I had fried 16 GB RAM (2 x 8gb) with a faulty PSU with a week. Its the same ram in my sign below. Got replacement since its covered in lifetime warranty.

ALso I would suggest to disable AMD cool and quite and keep the CPU in HPC mode. Thats what I did with my fx 8320 back when I had it. Doing this completely removed all hiccups from Crysis 3 for me.

I mentioned GTA San Andreas, which is a very old game (2004). I didn't even test GTA V, since SA already has such low FPS even @ 800x600 all low. Minecraft also keeps stuttering nonstop.

Thats insanely low fps. A pentium 4 with a 8600 gt can drive that game at 40-60 fps on 1080p. With your rig you should be getting 200 fps+ on that game. One of your important component ram, gpu or cpu is corrupt and might be verge of dying soon. If everything runs good but there are occasional hitches its the RAM which is at fault.

If you are getting aritifacts on screen its the GPU.

CPU: Thats very rare computer wont boot properly. In case it boots than one of the core has failed or dead you can check it via stress testing on Prime 95. If any core fails even on stock or below stock that is the core which has failed.

Also if you Ram is at fault its might due to a faulty PSU. You should consider getting a new PSU and connecting it with via a good UPS to switch board.

Since I have a generic PSU I think it might be the problem. I noticed that if I run games on dual core mode by setting affinity I get slightly better FPS (still not even close to playable). I do not get artifacts on screen, and I think RAM is not at fault, since it's brand new(my older RAM sticks did give me bsod once in a while though, but after replacing it's never happened again).

So I just tested Prime95, after something like 10~12 minutes my PC just turned off. This was written on results.txt:
"
[Fri Aug 05 12:21:36 2016]
Self-test 640K passed!
Self-test 640K passed!
Self-test 640K passed!
"

So I assume the issue is on the 4th processor core, or is there another possibility?

I just turned off Cool n quiet in bios and the performance is normal again (no more frame drops, good framerate), but after playing for some time the performance gets bad again until I restart the game. Could this still be the PSU or maybe overheating?

I ran a stress test with HeavyLoad and monitored the temps with HWMonitor. For some reason the CPU cores were underclocked to 1.5GHZ, while they stayed the whole time @ 60ºC. It's still good temps, right? Why did it underclock itself?

PSU causing ram failure is pretty rare actually, certainly not where I'd look first.

Aldo, 60c is quite high if your cores were running around 2.5ghz (assuming voltage dropped accordingly)

Op what is the psu manufacturer and model? And what cooling do you have on that chip ?
