My graphics card has gone SLOW since last night out of nowhere!

[Zerolicious]

Hey guys. Last night i shut down my pc, and everything qas ok.

Today, I turn it on, and suddenly every animation in Windows 7 were SLOW. I tried to play a game (League of Legends) and it was on slow motion!

I dont know what happened, i turned off my pc literally for 8 hours or so, and everythign changed!


I have a Nvidia GeForce 9600 gt.

Some infos that u might need.


Temperature: 64C (without running a game)
Fan Speed(%): 45%

Idk about you, but 64C seems a bit high for a GPU running idle.
Well, I assume thats what the temp is for right? 😀

 

[Zerolicious]

I'm doing an ESET scan right now. Maybe thats why?

I don't know, Google Chrome is on also...but nothing major. I dont get it how I get probs during only a night.

Maybe my HDD has virus, and need to format it so i get rid of lags?

In games i have slow -mo graphics, but my fps are 60+

Check GPU/CPU usage when on desktop. Looks like malware. Use MSI Afterburner to check GPU usage.

Hey guys!

I would like to change my GPU card since its causing me problems lately.

My budget is around..100 euro - 150.

My cpu: intel quad q9400 2.66 ghz
RAM: 4 GB
Mobo: Foxconn G31MX series

 

[Zerolicious]

GPU Usage is empty, means that GPU card isnt used?

Temperature still @ 64C

please help me!

 

[Sunius]

What about CPU usage? When was the last time you have cleaned dust out of your PC?

 

[Zerolicious]

I just did Sinius!

CPU is at 30C while im performing scan with Nod, so its not that bad!

HDD too

 

[Sunius]

CPU usage, not temperature?

 

[Zerolicious]

CPU Usage is at 30% (Cus im scanning with antivirus)

I've got about the same generation rig as you and really like my 6870. They're fairly cheap, too. Look on eBay if you really want a deal.....

Of course a more modern card might suit you better:

Ooops, sorry I put american sites. I'm brain dead right now about euro sites.....

 

[Sunius]

Tell us the result when the scan is finished. Did you install ANYTHING recently?

 

[Zerolicious]

This happened only this morning.

Ive never had any problems in my life...The only thing i did last night, i watched an online episode of yu-gi-oh 5ds ;p

 

[Sunius]

Is the graphics card fan spinning?

I'd suggest reinstalling graphics card drivers first if the scan doesn't give any results. If that doesn't help, reinstalling windows would be the next step.

 

[Zerolicious]

Yeah GPU fan is spinning!

I even re-plugged my GU back in MOBO but nothing...

I think about making a partition in my HDD, create a brand new win7 installation on the partition, and see if it works. Otherwise i might have to buy a new GPU =/

I wouldn't buy another GPU until you find the root of your problems.

Obviously in one of the topics im asking for tech support, and in the other one suggestions about new motherboard!

Merging them, will just confuse me, and people that want to help!

My error is very unique...I don;t get it how my GPU changed over the night!

 

[Sunius]

You don't even know if it's GPU.

 

[Zerolicious]

You don't even know if it's GPU.

True, I'll let you know what happened after the partition thingy

Too late!

 

[Zerolicious]

Too late!

Common sense, duh!

 

[Mousemonkey]

Common sense, duh!

If that had been exercised then you would have posted the motherboard question in the motherboard forum would you not?

 

[Zerolicious]

I've never asked anything bout motherboard bro. LOL.

Neway! I ain't here to argue I just clarified some stuff
