hello. i have a low end pc i have a problem which i didn't had before. the problem is of stuttering in all games.i tried re-instatling the windows and updating drivers.but i dont want to upgrade so plz only fixes.!!!
 
Solution
hi well you can buy a FX 4300 that really cheap cpu around where i live i cost around 65 to 80 euro and mainboard like MSI 970A-G43 AM3+
cost like 61 euro and really cheap upgrade gets loads of more gaming power :) of course you need buy soms ddr3 but you can get set all under 200
euro in total
OK try this do a system restore to the date before you had all these issues if you started to have then 2 weeks ago do a system restore to a early date then that and don't update anything and try your games then this will take your system back to when things wasn't stuttering.
 
It's not a driver issue. CPU is much to hot and is throttling itself. It shouldn't idle at 55C, and once you hit 70C the thermal protection kicks in. You need to figure out why the other cooler didn't work. You also need to apply NEW thermal paste every time you put a cooler on. Make sure the sink and CPU are clean.
 

yes they are clean so how do i bring the temps down.
 

yeah but i checked it again the temps were cpu when idle 30c and cores when idle 40c
 
Which is too hot. You need to bring the CPU temps down. Either the cooler you have isn't on correctly, (I did say it uses push pins which are famous for being hard to install.) you have a thermal paste problem, or it's a poor cooler and you need a better one. Double check the that all four push pins are in all the way, and reapply the paste if you need to. A little goes a long way. If it still doesn't work right then you might need a new/better cooler.
 

i tried changing my cooler. but when i went to shop for replacing it with original intel cooler they did as i said but my motherboard could not bear it and gave no display and when we switched to a lighter and a cheap one it gave display.so any tips for cooling.
 
A heavy unit shouldn't matter. The shop might have missed something when they put that cooler on? I would say try a liquid AIO cooler, but I get the feeling you don't have the funds for that. Are there any mid range coolers you can try? Something larger/better then the stock one, but not a huge as whatever mystery one you tried?

Could go old school and point a house fan at your CPU. That usually helps. I'd also double check the cooler still. If a single push pin isn't fully in it won't work right.
 

no i didn't lied and my mobo has suffered many display problems and it still occurs till now.the shop which i went took 4 hours to check whats the problem and they told that the mobo became weak and cant resist heavy coolers.
 

it does not helps and i cant buy that liquid aio cooler because its cost i high but can we try some nvidia fixes like settings the settings in nvidia control panel
 

Then, it is the 3rd cause "your mobo is broken" 😀
 

but will replacing it remove the stuttering and can u suggest me a very cheap mobo which supports ddr2 or ddr3 rams.
 
Hunt in eBay, perhaps you are lucky.
I do not know anymore what kind of LGA775 mobo with DDR2 supports is still available to buy as new and how much does it cost.
LGA775 with DDR2 platform is already really old.
Replacing with a DDR3 mobo means you must buy DDR3 RAM too.

Actually, every single cent you spend getting such PC back on it's feet is a waste of money. That PC of yours is worth already less than USD120, if you try to sell it on eBay here, where I live.
You must learn from Frozen..let it go..let it go...
