Sudden FPS loss I36100 HD530

No I was planning to get the 1060 later. I am only using stock graphics from my I36100. Thanks a lot for the reply though, I do appreciate it. I meant elder scrolls skyrim, sorry and it runs fine but for some reason after downloading that game and going back to another game id usually play like boarderlands for example my fps is at 30 when normally it would be 60fps+. This is such a pain because I don't understand what is causing this but I've found a similar closed thread that relates to my issue but it never got solved

Hmm I never installed any chipset driver before and games were doing fine to answer your question.
Thanks, I will try all that right now. One thing that did get my attention though is I did a little research on ram and Vram and found out that borderland 2 requires a minimum of 256MB of VRAM while I went into control panel display settings and display adapter properties to see my intel hd 530 says Total available graphics memory 4175MB & Dedicated video memory at only 128 MB. I don't know if it's always been at 128 MB or not or if this is even affecting my fps performance.. Is this normal ? Just thought I'd put that out there. I'm feeling a lot better now that I've got some help I will let you know if installing the motherboard chipset driver as well as uninstalling my graphics driver and manually installing the most current driver fixed the issue..

Ok thanks I've also noticed I can't play in the highest resolution setting as I use to be able to before(boarderlands2). When I do a larger resolution not yet fitting the screen but almost my framerate goes down from 60fps @ 1366x768 to 30fps@ 1440x900 and now for whatever reason it is.. I can't choose the last resolution 1600x900 because it is now greyed out. I don't understand that's why I thought maybe you run out of vram or that 128mb is not normally but after seeing your comment I understand that this is normal since 128 is assigned for windows. After clean install it automatically greyed out the last resolution 1600x900 bringing me to 1336x768 upon starting the game using default automatic/auto detect settings in game. Settings are fine, I've already triple checked that out. This happens on all my games now where bf badcompany2 runs at 50-60-80fps while it use to be running at 150fps + without Vsync. My last solution are the two you've proposed. I am doing them now. UPDATE: I was able to change to highest resolution 1600x900 using settings outside of the game and my fps is 40 going under which is strange because why would a higher resolution bring higher fps... I was just at 30 fps on 1440x900. Have you heard of anything like this? Is it maybe a driver issue to you? Just curious but I guess I'll find out.

Clean install of Windows and performance is at balanced.
I've updated graphics driver and installed chipset driver.
I've checked CPU supplemental power connector if that has anything to do with it also checked other cables and everything looks ok.
I went into my bios and noticed that DVMT Pre-Allocated was 64MB so I increased it to 1024MB.
Performance actually did slightly worser but not too noticeable. Feeling confused as to what actually may be causing this. I'm going to try updating my bios. I'm running out of things to try here and I have no idea why this happened out of nowhere after playing a game, Is there information I can give you that would might make the problem clear? I installed CPUID..

I'm saving up to get a good GPU hoping that it will fix this issue, I really really dont want the fps to drop on that as well. What is going on here?? My fps has never been this slow. I thought for sure after a clean install of Windows, removing drivers as you said installing new ones that it would fix this..
Thank-You for your time, It is really valued.. I don't plan on giving up, it's just been stressful experience looking all over google for some kind solution. I'd really love it if we could resolve this and start playing games back at 60fps +. There has to be a way to fix this and the same thread that was quite similar to this never got a solution! Please help! Please note that the fps isn't dropping but it loss 30 frames where it would run above 60fps now its 30 and under. I downloaded skyrim today again after the clean install and noticed fps is even worse.. Seriously. I WOULD greatly appreciate some help. This is making no sense, fps loss came out of no where after installing skyrim before attempting a clean install as a solution and now its worser than before.

Thanks for the kind response.
I remember having issues where I couldn't get the PC to start when I first built it so I had to use a paperclip to test out the PSU and it was fine so i connected it back and for some reason it all just powered up but just down the road made a noise reseated noise came back after a day never moved the case.. recently reseated haven't heard the noise for a day or two ..and I have a feeling it's going to come back and if it does maybe this is my culprit. Though I did have a feeling this might also be do to vibrations.


The noise has stopped after reseating a day ago. CPU and MOB temp are in 20's so that's good. I'm installing the new drivers using the DDU to reboot to safe mode and safely uninstall old drivers and then using Driver Update Utility from intel to automatically scan and choose the lastest driver. I've tried to go into manual and look for my drivers but it doesn't show it having my chipset H110M-K just other chipsets..

I'm downloading HWmonitor, would I have to run the game in windowed mode to see temps or is there a better software to use to see temps in game? Thanks again for the response, It makes me feel better.. I am too at a lost. Yes, all games I've tested that would normally run at a higher fps.. they are now at about a 20-30ish fps drop
As for graphics settings its on balanced. I do notice at random times my disk usage will go up to a 100% on idle.. At this point, I'm just trying to figure out whatever might be the cause.. Also I could benchmark things but like I've already previously said in this thread.. "where it would run above 60fps now its 30" So it's definently an issue it's obvious on this other end because I use to use fraps and have steam overlay when I played games normally that would runs 60fps+. I really really curious as to what might have caused this fps loss to begin with as I did note that I had to reseat the PSU and downloaded a skyrim after playing went to borderlands and heart dropped after seeing my resolution auto detect and fps get so much worser. Trying to go back to skyrim the fps went from 60 to 30. I am certain I have given all the information of what may of what happened before fps loss.
HW monitor shows mainboard at 120c in temperature this is not normal right??OMG ai suite says 23 c Update:http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1797905/115c-mainboard-temperature-reading-hwmonitor.html Apparently it wouldn't run at that temperature just hwmonitor having problems with Asus boards


UPDATE: I have also tried to update the bios today and received a replacement from Corsair. Still I am getting the fps loss I wish I could go back to playing games how it normally was 60fps+. I guess all that's left to check now is the RAM. Please if anyone knows anything I can try, I'd greatly appreciate the response..

I've been stressing over this for so long. Very annoying. I once had 200fps+, Do you think upgrading to a gpu would solve this issue? Maybe I wouldn't experience any kind of loss on that? Still doesn't explain what is causing my igpu to have fps loss out of nowhere, I keep trying and I'm beginning to feel very hopeless. I thought I'd be fine with the igpu

Wrong. I use to get around 200fps. The fps is 60 fps to 30 fps and under when explosions happen ect ect.
