Low FPS after reinstalling windows.

So, I recently reinstalled my windows for better performance, but the opposite happened, for some reason, the game that I play (CS:GO) started to get between 80 to 90 FPS, instead of the usual 250 to 280 FPS.
I had some problems with the reinstallation process, due to the windows that I downloaded, I had to convert the file system to ntsf, but this probably had nothing to do with the issue, after that, I installed my drivers, but I don't know if I installed all of them, cuz I installed them through a program(drverbooster).

SPECS:
System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
CPU: Intel Core i5-2310 2.9GHZ
RAM: 2x4GB
Motherboard: Pegatron IPMH61P1
Hard drive: Samsung HD103SJ 1TB
Graphics card: HD radeon r7 260x

Ok. did you follow my instructions and install the correct drivers for the card? If not, use DDU to remove the current driver http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html scroll to the bottom of the page for the actual program, downland and then run it in safemode.

Once you've removed the drivers, go to AMD's website and manually select your driver, you want desktop graphics and then R7 series, R7 260x and then your OS and install the latest driver version https://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Probably a driver issue. I never trust those websites that claim to be able to install all your drivers, just get them from the motherboard manufacturer. Do you have a graphics card (you didn't list it), I doubt that you were getting 250+ fps on the integrated graphics. If you do, remove whatever drivers you have installed for it, use DDU (google it), then go to either NVidia or AMD's website (depending on your card) and download the drivers from their support page.

You're welcome, glad to hear it's running much better. Just as a side note, you may want to go to your motherboard's manufacturer and download the correct drivers from them....or at least keep it in mind if you start getting other issues.

This prevents updating from interrupting your media. If you do not have an antivirus with this feature: get a different antivirus.
Set ALL updates to: manual. This prevents an update from eating resources that you would otherwise be using.

Free antivirus from internet: I do not recommend that you install any "free" security tools.
I do not recommend installing "cleaner," "sweeper," "driver helper,"or any free junk from the internet.

Avoid any download which claims to "fix" your computer.

I recommend that you use a professional all-in-one security application - not a free download.

Please consider, when you install multiple security programs, they can conflict with each-other. That's why you should use "all-in-one" professional security.
