System was running very well up until the crash. Was playing Fallout 4 and BOOM. Dead. Power supply completely died on me - no attempt to even reboot. Suspected cause - heat build up due to dust. (Multiple cats and dogs and I was remiss in my maintenance )
After replacing power supply, system ran like a dog. Fallout went from 60~fps to 10. Other games ran but the more they demand the worse they run. Evil Genius runs fine, but Factorio is choppy and other 3d games... yuck.
I have attempted the following:
1 - Upgrade to Windows 10 (from 7) on existing drives
2 - New SSD Drive , clean Win 10 install
3 - format new ssd, reinstall win 7
4 - ram tests - no problems found
5 - drive tests - minor issues fixed, no improvement
I'm convinced something got fried. Question is, is it CPU? GPU? Mobo? It's an older mobo so replacing it means replacing just about everything else core.
Specs and performance ratings:
Just posting this took 25 minutes most of which was dead screen time.
Any advice/thoughts? Thank you!
