ince last week, my computer cannot run any games smoothly. I tried running MW3 and Project Blackout. For Mw3, the graphics are horrible and loading takes forever. For Project Blackout (which isn't a demanding game), I got like 12 fps. Even after running only Project Blackout on a Samsung SSD, I got the same results.


Pc Specs:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate/ 64-bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte M68MT-S2
Processor: AMD FX-4100 3.6 ghz
Memory: 8192 MB RAM
DirectX 11
AMD Radeon HD 7850
Samsung 840 120GB SSD
Antec 1200 psu


I unplugged my original HDD and only downloaded Project Blackout on the SDD, along with a fresh install of Win 7. I uninstalled previous AMD card's drivers and installed the 7850 drivers from given disc. Is it my graphics? 🙁!


Thank you!

It shouldn't be my graphic's problem, b/c I just removed the 7850 and put in a 6670; with according drivers. Still the same thing lol.

Do you think it's a cpu issue? Will OC do the job? :O confused :S


 
No I'll show you what to do :) I took pictures to help you.

Its probably the CPU
 
I tested every single hardware by swapping everything out. (regarding the graphic drivers, I uninstalled every driver and installed the latest version; still didn't work.)
I canceled out the probabilities and only my MOBO was left. So, I replaced my Gigabyte mobo, with an ASUS M5A97 LE 2.0. Downloaded according drivers and everything worked great after ^^
