i installed a windows update and a java program and thats about it .
any help is apriciated

Try to reinstall your graphics drivers. I've seen windows 10 actually remove graphics drivers during updates or attempt to install drivers from windows updates instead of using manufacture ones. Check in device manager to make sure you dont have any missing drivers. They will display an ! icon if they do.

While you are doing this. I would first use the DDU tool and completely remove all drivers then perform a fresh install of only your GTX 560 drivers.

thanks, gonna try that now and see how it goes

 

[confirm]

okay, did as u said, uninstalled everything and then reinstall.
but the same problem is till here.
tried running crysis 2 on everything ultra and i got 5 fps. i noticed that my cpu was at 32% usage as well as my ram being on 40% so it dosnt seem like those are the culprits . tried virus scan, also nothing . is there a program to see how much the gpu is under pressure perhaps?

 

[androbourne]

Did you look under device manager to see if any drivers are missing?

 

[confirm]

yea theres no red !'s

 

[androbourne]

It's not red. It will be a yellow warning ! icon near a device.

TechPowerUp GPU-Z will show the load on the GPU, under the sensors tab.

 

[confirm]

okay this is wierd
cpu-z gives me 0% gpu usage when running crysis .
does that mean that my card isnt even in use while my game is hacking away?

 

[confirm]

and theres no missing drivers btw

 

[confirm]

ran malware too and it caught 3 programs , deleted them all

 

[mjslakeridge]

Did you mean GPU-Z, because I don't think CPU-Z shows GPU performance?

 

[confirm]

yea sry, a typo

 

[mjslakeridge]

Sounds like you are running off the CPU's internal graphics processor. Is the fan spinning on your GPU? Maybe try removing it and re-installing it to make sure it is secure in the Pcie socket.

Edit: Unless you physically removed the cable from the monitor to the GPU and hooked it up to the motherboard's video port, what I said above doesn't make sense. Can you verify the monitor is connected to the GPU?

 

[confirm]

fan is spinning and but im gonna try to reinstall it, thought about the integrated gpu too since i didnt see any load on my gtx card

 

[androbourne]

Or try to go into Nvida control panel and forcing a global profile to use High Performance mode and select your main GPU.

 

[mjslakeridge]

See my edit to my latest post above.

 

[confirm]

yea its hooked to my card, thats what didnt make sense to me either xD

 

[confirm]

forced to high performance on global and selected the gtx card but still the same result

 

[confirm]

i wouldnt be able to install a driver for the gtx card if it wasnt properly secured in the slot right?

 

[androbourne]

You could try to go into BIOS and disable the integrated GPU. This should force the main GPU on at all times for testing.

 

[mjslakeridge]

Try a different game and look at the GPU-Z sensors tab. Or try a GPU stress test like Furmark. I had it on my computer at one time but haven't re-installed since I re-installed Windows a few months ago.

 

[mjslakeridge]

i wouldnt be able to install a driver for the gtx card if it wasnt properly secured in the slot right?

That's probably correct, as it wouldn't detect the card.

 

[confirm]

went into bios, disabled integrated graphics and still nothing 😀 this is turning into a major headache. thanks for u guys help tho ! really grateful

gonna try the stress test now to see if anything happens

im shifting through a varaity of games to be sure im not only having issues with one game 😉

 

[mjslakeridge]

Are the other sensors in GPU-Z registering values? Fan speed, GPU temp, memory used, etc. That would verify that GPU-Z is actually working.

My GPU utilization % is varying between 22 - 23% with 2 monitors on, watching TV on one, and Chrome running on the other.
