Hi everyone
I have an old rig I've had for about five years now - specs as follows:
Ivy bridge 3550
ASUS H77-M
Radeon Sapphire 7850 OC
Thermaltake toughpower PSU (550W I think)
Probably 18 months - 2 years ago, I updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10
The issue I have had for at least a 12 month period now is that while my graphics cards appear to be working when I boot my computer (e.g. fans are running), upon running games my FPS drops to 0 and/or the application freezes, usually forcing me to restart the computer. I have tried the following:
-Reinstalling the graphics drivers
-Reinstalling chipset drivers
-Swapping over the GPU to another card (another 7850) - this gives me the same problem
A while ago my previous motherboard stopped working suddenly, and I swapped over to the current ASUS H77-M (I kept the same other parts). Since I've done this my windows refuses to recognise I am using the same computer, and asks me to register the version of windows - I've lost the CD key and so cannot do this. Not sure if this could be causing my problems.
If anyone could help that would be great.
Thanks
