Hi there. So a couple days ago now, I was playing Deus Ex Human Revolution on my PC. Running great. Suddenly, everything started to freeze and run slow. My NIC stopped responding, my open programs refused to close (even through task manager) and everything had gone wonky. I told it to shut down and it went to the windows 7 (ultimate, x64) shutdown screen and never shut down. I wound up hitting my reset button. The beep from bios boot sounds a tab bit longer now (but the mobo uses post codes on a small physical read-out, not beeps). Everything posted fine and windows loaded, no problems... When I logged in, my desktop had been completely replaced by a devoid black space with a mouse cursor so I could play about in the void. I reset again ( 3 times! ) and got the same issue. Finally I booted up in safe mode and everything was working. I ran a virus scan and it came up with a couple of minor items and I cleaned them out. I rebooted my pc.. and it failed to POST. WELL... That escalated quickly, now, didn't it? I read the POST code and it indicated that it stopped whilst testing my USBs. I unplugged my USBs and reset again. This time, it made it to the POST but it did so VERY slowly and it was doing the strangest symptom yet. It was (and still is) loading the screen top to bottom, line by line (graphically, not text/code - wise). I have since replaced the HDD entirely and installed the OS fresh. I'm still having the same problem. RAM is... All frame rates have dropped in every game considerably, even pre-rendered videos lag! I've tested the problems with two separate GPUS and the problems are the same with both.
Any ideas? I'm planning on replacing the CPU and MOBO at this point but want to see if anyone has any suggestions before I do so!
