Hello everyone!
My rig ran beautifully for about half a year (80's in BF1 and 80-90 in Witcher 3 on the lowest video and resolution settings) , but now all of the sudden it struggles to run any game no matter what the graphics and resolution settings are (30-55 in BF1 and 34-58 in Witcher 3) . I've worked on this for WEEKS and I'm just about to give up here. Here's what I've got:
EVGA 1070 FTW in pcie slot x16
i5-6600k oc'd to 4.3
Hyper 212 EVO cooler
16gb 2133ghz ram (slow I know, but as I said I had no issues with it before)
500gb SSD
2tb HDD
EVGA z170xp-SLI motherboard
650w gold PSU
Here's what I've tried:
- Checking temps and usage of CPU and GPU while playing (cpu around 45c at 70% on most games, gpu at around 70c at 60-70% most games)
- Using DDU to uninstall NVIDIA drivers and preformed clean install
- Uninstalled GeForce Experience
- Deleted all unnecessary programs
- Defragged HHD
- Cleaned registry
- Updated all system drivers
- Ran boot virus scan, malware scan, spyware scan, etc.
- Reseated GPU and RAM
- Turned off VSYNC and triple buffering in NVIDIA control
- Set performance to max power and selected single display mode in NVIDIA control
- Checked to see if any programs were hogging CPU, disk, or memory in task manager
- Tried removing overclocks, lowering them, raising them
- Cleaned all dust out of PC, especially in the CPU cooler
Every game now runs like junk. Even BioShock Remastered runs at 30 fps on the lowest resolution setting! In all games I've turned settings and resolution all the way to the bottom, but it doesn't change the frames whatsoever.
Any tips or other possible fixes I haven't tried would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
