I bought my gaming pc like 4 months ago and i could handle all games from Arma 3 on high settings to minecraft and run them all really good. But as of like last week i cant handle any games really i went from being able to get 300 fps max on minecraft to not being able to get above 30. And i have razer game booster to close all unwanted applications taking up memory from the processor and it still doesnt help and ive ran a virus scan like twice already and ive got no idea what to do now anything will help. My pc specs are fx-6300 and r9 270x. I built the pc myself, would restoring ym computer help? And if i restore it would it uninstall windows 8 from the hard drive? And i dont know what the temperatures should be for a computer or how to tell if a part is fried because i cant run games that i got good fps on anymore so i dont know if i need to buy a new part and i also have ran a maleware scan and i close all tasks in task manager
 
use speccy to monitor your tempretures should be arround 50 maybe 60 but nothing like 80-90 also if you restore your pc windows 8 will stay so will all your data its just the os which goes back e.g before an update occured also print screen your task manager and ill tell you if its wierd go to the resorces section
 
What RAM do you have?
Your running your RAM at 800mhz, not sure if it has always been like that.
You should set it to 1333mhz (which is standard settings). You can do this by going to bios settings when starting up your pc.

If this doesn't work, consider you might have a virus. Run a virusscanner.
 
no the ram is fine in speccy , the temps are good most likely he has a virus , set a full system scan on your antivirus if you dont have one get one i reccomend Norton ive tried them all Norton is the best in my opinion
 


although ram is fine, it's only running at 800mhz with 10-10-10-30 latency.
this is very slow compared to any current RAM.

My old PC build in 2008 had 1333mhz at 9 latency
