    One of my CPU cores fails prime 95

    In skyrim I get about 40 fps in towns, I can post my fps in other games and my scores on benchmarks (in 3d mark I got a graphics score of 6000 while I should be getting 8000.) I was taking to someone on reddit who was getting the same fps as me on all the games and they recommended getting a...

    One of my CPU cores fails prime 95

    60 degrees while running prime 95 my GPU is at 70 degrees while running heaven 4. My score on that is 500 points below what I should be getting, something I noticed is that the shadows are flickering and it doesn't look very good on the night scenes

    One of my CPU cores fails prime 95

    I have an r9 280x and my temps are around 60 degrees, it isn't overclocked, do you know how I undo choosing your answer as the solution ?

    One of my CPU cores fails prime 95

    My PC has had performance below what it should, so I downloaded prime 95 to ensure that my cpu temps were okay. When I ran it on my cpu (fx 8350) my fifth cpu core repeatdly fails the test. Could this be the reason for a low fps. My fps is lowest when loading a new area, for example when flying...

    I have a DVD from the original os install, could I use that ? How would I start it ?

    r9 280x and fx 8350 performing badly after 1 year of use

    I'll buy one soon, I'm a bit lost on how I install a fresh OS on an SSD if I don't have another copy of it- do I take out the HDD ? or what?

    CPU core failing and low fps

    Do you think they would send me a new one on the basis of it failing prime 95? I think that my hard drive might be the problem as the low fps is most prominent when first loading the game/ different bits of it and the HDD has to retrieve the textures and what not. So I wouldn't like to go...

    r9 280x and fx 8350 performing badly after 1 year of use

    I was thinking about doing that but I didn't know if it would make a difference, I was thinking about buying an SSD so I don't know whether I should wait until I get it for the OS install

    CPU core failing and low fps

    Thanks, my fps in minecraft is low if I am in a big world and exploring, but if I stay in my house my fps is fine- my cpu is stock. I probably should have mentioned it but I have already downloaded MSI afterburner and my GPU usage is high (100) the gpu clocks are what they should be (1020 and...

    CPU core failing and low fps

    I've been getting a lower fps than I used to.One of my cores repeatedly fails the test on prime 95 and a hardware failure is detected, my processor is an fx-8350 and I have an r9 280x. My temps are fine and I have defragged my hard drive my case is clean and I did a virus scan with...
