Windows 7 64 bit slow motion graphics
The problem: A few weeks ago I began to notice that upon booting up my computer the animation that opens and closes windows on my desktop was being displayed in extreme slow motion. Slow enough that I could clearly see every frame of animation. In addition, I was pretty surprised to see that any game I played would similarly run in slow motion. My frame rate was excellent, but everything on the screen would be going no faster than 10% of its normal speed.
For a while rebooting once fixed the problem. Then I had to reboot twice, then three times in order to fix the issue. Finally, this morning, no amount of rebooting will resolve the issue.
Things I have already tried:
1) Turning it off, then on again.
2) Completely removing the catalyst control center and drivers and reinstalling the latest version
3) A file integrity scan using CMD.exe
4) A checkdisk scan
5) A furmark GPU stress test which confirms my graphics card is likely not damaged or failing
6) A rollback to a previous configuration - this did nothing and was an enormous pain.
7) Ran a registry cleaning tool.
8) Ran a disk defrag
9) Disabled aero, which only masks the underlying problem (as long as you don't try to play a game)
I am now at the point where I am faced with a complete reinstall, which I not only absolutely do not want to do but which I am also not certain will work given the number of software related solutions that have failed to correct the issue (what ever it is).
If anyone has any knowledge of what this problem is and how to solve it I would be grateful. I have included my DxDiag in this post.
Thanks.
