Only thing that comes up is this- pci simple communications controller . and I dont know I will check on the cpu usage and get back to you in about 10 mins
 


That's your problem then... isn't your GPU connected to the PCI slot? You need to find your motherboard CD and install your drivers... or if you have an OEM computer.. go to the website and find the motherboard chipset drivers to install.

 



cpu usage is good about 35% spikes at 80% when intense moments (lots of models on screen etc) but goes back down quickly and its a custom build i tried to find the drivers only but can not find them. Here my spec tho


mainboard: Gateway H57M01
cpu: i3 530
Memory😀DR3 6gb
gpu: ATI Radeon HD 4870
 



mainboard: Gateway H57M01
cpu: i3 530
Memory: DDR3 6gb
gpu: ATI Radeon HD 4870
psu: 700 watt ( was just replaced )
 



I found the drivers and installed them no luck dident fix it
 


Did it clear up the error you saw in Device Management or is that yellow icon still there? Did you restart after installing?
 




no it did not clear it up its still there and yes i restarted

 


Then I was right... THAT IS THE PROBLEM... you simply didn't install the correct drivers if the yellow icon is still there. You need to find and install the correct drivers.
 



oh and know its constent it happens ever 2 mins now every game is know unplayable
 


also i caint find driver for just motherboard when i search my serial number a pre built pc comes up and tried instaling the drivers but no luck
 


Was that the original motherboard that came with the computer.. or was a Gateway motherboard installed inside a different pc case?
 



I have no idea I bought it like this as a custom built from a local shop I know how to build my own pc and stuff but dident have the money to build 1 how ever I just did i fresh install from windows 7 to windows 8 after formating the drive and the pc seems to be faster so hopefully that might work download a game know to try it out. and its Gate way is all i know i put a link to all the specs

 




***UPDATE*** I have upgraded to windows 8.1 that has solve the error in the device manger how ever the problem still exist, I have ran memtest86 and have got 0 error's, all my drivers are know fully up to date and I still have the problem.and it has gotten worse the game is know unplayable and freeze every 20 seconds .
