Summary please help me pick some parts out and tell me if I don't really need to replace the other stuff
Current System
Intel Core i5 4590
8 GB DDR3 Memory
1 TB Seagate
GTX 970
ASUS 797M-PLUS
700 Silverstone (Update: I will try to know when I open my system)
Monitor 1920x1080 ASUS VG248QE
ATM I'm facing a few issues and will be listing the attempts I've had fixing them
Low FPS stuttering and crashing on modern day titles Examples: Apex Legends, Call of Duty Modernwarfare
-Lots of custom configs
-fiddling with Nvidia control panel
-CPU unparking
-High Performance in power options
BIOS not saving
-I have to constantly set a few settings I need to run my emulators
-no attempt in fixing
I'm wondering if it's a power supply, motherboard or both that's the problem for the BIOS
Fixes attempted:
Updating BIOS[Nothing changed]
100% disk usage
-I have disabled and tried everything I have found to fix this including a Clean Install of Windows 10
-S.M.A.R.T scan, chkdsk
Fixes attempted:
chkdsk /r[Will observe for now]
I'm wondering if it's a power supply, motherboard or both that's the problem for the BIOS
as for the hard drive I honestly just want to replace it
Here are the parts I'm currently looking at as replacements
ASUS STRIX B360G
SEAGATE 2 TERABYTE
Kingston 260 GB SSD
Intel Core i5-8400 Desktop Processor
At the very least I want to be able to run Call of duty Modernwarfare on 144 hz (1080p) if possible
Note : as far as I know my RAM is Blue HyperX 8 GB DDR3
Edit : Improved and added information Will update with the fixes later on
Budget : 400$
So while I was updating the BIOS my computer went into a power up loop for before I left for school. It does this from time to time randomly. and when I got home it was fixed by just restarting the AVR. Should I be worried? Also this AVR is close to 10+ years old.
