Hi All,
I bought a PC roughly 8 months ago. Specs included below. I just returned from a holiday and suddenly my PC is having massive FPS problems with all games. Prior to my holiday everything was working perfectly fine; I run BF1 on Ultra for instance, but now I cant even make 20 FPS (With CPU usage only at 20%, not sure if it was always like that).
I've already tried a complete reinstall of my drivers, I checked for dust. Temps are fine, at least theyre not overheating (they do seem to fluctuate, sometimes they sit only at 40 and I have terrible FPS in particular, other times theyre more stable but still drop at the usual 50-60 gpu temp ). CPU and memory usage in task manager looks normal.
I did not install anything right before I left or since I returned, but also checked for malware and virusses just in case. There was one windows update, also tried uninstalling that but didnt seem to make a difference.
Here's my specs:
-Intel Core i5-6600K / 3.5 GHz
-MSI Z170A GAMING M3
-8GB Kingston HyperX FURY - DDR4
-Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6G (rev. 1.0)
-Antec High Current Gamer HCG-520
For what it's worth, there was some ticking noise coming from my PSU occasionally at some point in the past but then that stopped and everything continued to work fine. Perhaps that's related and my PSU is to blame? Everything is under warranty but I take I wont be able to return it unless Ive ruled out other possible causes.
Any help would be much appreciated!
