Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help. For some reason when I run modern warfare my cpu drops to 0.8ghz on all cores and I cant play the game. I played for months when it came out it was fine then it started. I uninstalled the game and didnt play it for a couple of months. I just reintalled it and it was fine for a couple of days and now its started doing it again I running the latest Nvidia drivers and the game is up to date. My temps were up to 56c on my cpu when this was happening. as soon as I exit the game the speed returns to 3.6ghz - 4-9ghz all other games run fine Plz help.

Thanks for replying I have the corsair HX850w I have reset the bios to optimised defaults and I wonder now if its the SSD It had cyberpunk on which went from fine (as far as that game can be) to really bad, not at the same time ..although I feel that could be the game. I have dark souls on on it and that runs fine device manager says its working properly and I have scanned with windows and its coming up no errors

If overclocked try restoring things back to stock then try again.

Hi :) thanks for the tip I have loaded optimised defaults on the motherboard, so all should be good there.. its only mw that does this and I uninstalled it last time and reinstalled it the other day it was ok for a day or so and now I cant play it..
