Hello, I've used this site to help me countless of times before, but now I've encountered an issue that I cannot find a solution for.
So I've had this issue for a couple of months, I first noticed it while playing TES: Skyrim, at the menu screen I had it sitting on 60 fps (Vsync, old monitor), and during the course of maybe 12 hours it's down to 50 fps, and if I keep the computer running it goes down as far as 32 fps where it stops and does not go lower.
Now the same thing goes for SWTOR where the fps loss is anywhere from 20 to 40 or so.
If I restart the computer, it "resets" and starts ticking down slowly over time again.
I'll try and list all the things I've tried to fix this:
Reinstalled both games.
Reinstalled nvidia drivers, in safe mode with driversweeper, tested older drivers as far back as may 2012.
Checked the temperatures and none of them seems abnormal.
Virus/malware scanned using Avast, symantec online scan, malwarebytes.
Clean everything once or twice a week with CCleaner.
Scanned with Spybot Search & Destroy
I reformatted my HDD yesterday and reinstalled everything, same problem occurs.
Computer specs:
OS: WIndows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2Ghz quad core
RAM: 8192MB
DirectX: 11
Gfxcard: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560
Everything is bought new a few months back only.
The only "old" part I have is my HDD which is a 4 or 5 year old 250gb one.
Temperatures(celcius):
Idle:
Mobo: 48
CPU: 37
GPU: 39
While running SWTOR(Skyrim temps are lower):
Mobo: 70
CPU: 58
GPU: 59
I've run out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.
