I recently upgraded my PC by installing a new CPU and motherboard and things have started to get annoying. I have been having major issues with running games at a steady frame rate with drops which lead to stuttering and and all around poor performance. I formatted both of my hard drives, installed all of the required drivers and they are all up to date. I have been struggling to play battlefield 4 on any graphics settings, including low and Guild Wars 2. Both of these games perform terribly on my system since the upgraded parts were put in and fail to keep a steady frame rate. Both of these games played fine on my old set up and I'm confused and irritated because I don't understand why putting better parts in would cause the games to play worse. I have tried:
-Unparking cores
-Uninstalling Microsoft C++ 2010 (x86)
-Uninstalling and re-installing the games that run poorly.
Any help and suggestions to help me fix this problem that I am having would be appreciated. Thanks
