I recently installed a new asus ROG z370 H mobo along with a i7 8700k. I put it all together and ran bios. Everything went amazing. I kicked it up a notch to 4.8 ghz from its normal 3.7 stock. Again everything went beautifully. I was running games at super high frame rates. Fortnite was showing around 300-400 even 500! I played Island of Nyne and was extremely happy with the results. I threw on a more demanding (take that with a grain of salt) game like Battlefield 1. Again, everything was great. I went to sleep a happy fellow.. then the fire nation attacked. But in all seriousness, I hopped on today and noticed a performance drop in almost everything from regular work station duties to browsing and of course gaming. FPS in every game fluctuates without a care in the world and opening programs has become slower.. I dont know what went wrong or why. I always read threads on this site to try to help me out and I figure its about time I make one.

things i have tried:

I have updated drivers
Ran virus scans
Flash bios and updated
Reseated RAM and GPU

cheers to whoever can get back to me on this.

Thanks for your reply! I did not, I read this reply and took the time to reinstall. I'll give an update soon!


EDIT: YES! it was an issue with the OS, i clean installed and started up a game and boom. I am now back to where I was and enjoying the high life with my 500 fps. It's weird how it was a OS issue when I had used the same hard drive(no re-installation) and it worked the first day perfectly fine.. One long frustrating day of trouble shooting just to find out it was the operating system lol, yikers.. But anyways thank you kind sir!
