could be a virus...could be an overheating issue......could be a bad piece of hardware i can think of thousands of reasons

No overheating what kind of hardware? I dont see any problems its detecting everything,

If there is a virus we will find out after my scan is complete but so far nothing wrong

EXTRA: My GPU's are now 32C And when i played BF3 45C no problem,

My CPU is not overheating either

Check your graphics card drivers are up to date, and see if any windows updates were applied recently.

You could also try a system restore.

Drivers are up to date, Just installed a update 2 days ago.

I don't think any updates are applied but every game should just run fine on this computer,

I had to do a system restore last night on my computer because of windows updates that were applied 7-18-2012 started to play and normally hit about 55 fps was only getting 29 try a system restore to an earlier date bet that fixes it, cause it did mine, hope the best for ya

I had the same issue, and found the driver was getting fragmented above 15 %, I did a defragment of the disc and now I'm back at my 30-40 FPS before the defragmention, i went down to 9 fps

Its in my planning to defragment, But i use professional programs like Paragon that will take 20 hours to defrag max.

What did you use?

I've used Smart Defrag 2

That's strange actually! I also play BF3 and recently noticed that sometimes when I go in-game I'm getting 2 FPS. I simply restarted my computer and it went straight back to my usual 60 FPS. Very strange.

Wow. You guys are having a little trouble there I think. But you guys are lucky! On the pc I got now, i get normally 5 fps. For some odd reason the takeoff strip at the airport bumps me up to 13 sometimes. But those numbers are no where near 40 - 60. Hope all of your issues are fixed soon.

Have you tried maybe a backup file or something?

Here are two things that you should do right off:

1) Open your computer case and check for dust. Use compressed air on the fans/hardware

2) Restart the computer.

Use Advanced system care the newest version they have a free version out thats My guess is you got a virus as if it was a hardware problem you would of notice it over time. Like I said download advanced system care 5 and do a scan and fix all the errors it gives you.

Hey buddy i just recently 2 days ago i bought the new Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced USB 3.0 so i cleaned every part when i moved the parts over but i will restart that may helps!

Hm. When you first moved everything over to the new case (like the look btw ), did you play any games shortly after? Was the FPS normal then, or was it low?

Thanks btw :P Yes everything was fine but i fixed the problem now,

Just test played GTA IV that was also lagging but thats back at a smooth 200 Fps again, Sadly it crashed after 10 minutes of playing i think the spotlight script did it:P Sometimes it crashes really fast sometimes after 9 hours lol It was a restart that was needed and i removed 5 infections with malmware and 1 virus. So problem is fixed,

Thanks for the thinking at all!

HAPPY PATROLS

BTW The cable managment i did on this case is good but its a bit of a small area behind the back only bad point so far, Great case to work in and room for 11 fans!

Or its my cable management techniques that suck :P

Hmm, I never thought that malware could affect your in-game FPS. Some good info on this thread :P

Yep, in many ways... They often eat up all your resources.

200 FPS?! You run at 200 FPS? Holy Shit! On my desktop I can usually get 5-10 FPS and that's with the graphics settings fairly low. My laptop usually gets around 10-20 FPS.

^^

I fear for your PC....LOL. I get around 30-50 FPS depending on the time in-game with my settings on High. If I put them on low I'd probably get a solid 60+ FPS.
