Hey,
So a few years back I got my father's old pc, which I think was prebuilt. Since then I have added a GPU (GTX 1060), an SSD and an hard drive, and some RAM (8GB in total now).
Ever since I got the GPU and RAM, I've been thinking that my computer might not be working as good as it should be, but now, even after a reset, I really think something is wrong.
I play a lot of games, like Overwatch, and I sometimes get frame drops, and my FPS drops to ~40 FPS, while I think that shouldn't be happening. I have optimized my graphic settings. And to get it running well in the first place, I have to close most other programs. I can't listen to music via Youtube when I'm playing games.
Another game that doesn't run well is GTA V. The world doesn't load fast enough when I'm driving around, and sometimes it even takes long to load when I start the game, so I'm standing in a world that hasn't loaded yet. The weird thing about this is, that my friend, which I think has less RAM and a less powerful GPU, can run GTA V perfectly.
Some other problems:
-Google Chrome just chrashes randomly sometimes, most of the times when I'm loading a Youtube video.
-Around half of the time that I start up my computer, all the icons are bigger, and looks like its running on a lower resolution. I think it looks the same as when I first put my new GPU in my computer, but hadn't installed the driver yet.
My guess is that it has something to do with my GPU, but im not sure.
Windows 10
My GPU: GTX 1060 3GB
Motherboard: P5QL PRO
8GB RAM
I hope you guys can help me, because I don't know what to do.
