Solved win7 reinstall

[hehawkiller]

Yesterday i reinstalled win7 RC...i know go buy it, just saving up. Anyways, after i reinstalled it i installed all my latest drivers for my hardware, and i installed my favouite game COD WAW. As soon as i set all my settings to the way they were before i go to play and when i enter a server i notice that my FPS dropped from a normal 60-100FPS now down to 15-30, making the game impossible to play. I've tried everything to fix this, and nothing has worked, i can't find anything that might be the problem...the game worked fine with the exact same machine settings the night before...and after i reinstalled it sucked.

Im not "up to scratch" on graphics,i couldnt even tell you what FPS i get,so im afraid i cant really help.I could try and it might'nt work.
But i'll try,
Your drivers are up to date?
Your not running two graphics cards or a standalone and an intergrated GPU?Maybe its reverting to the lesser card.
You've updated your game?
You've updated the directx for the game?

And you posted this 3hrs ago,give it at least 1 day.

Sorry to seem so short...just a very frustrating problem.

So i resolved my online play by reinstalling win7 yet again, reverted to 9.11 ATI drivers, and 2.38 realtek drivers, and all seems well...back up to 60-100fps. BUT the single player lag is still present. Haven't tried cod4 or mw2 yet, so i'll cross my fingers.

I also noticed that in gpuz my pci-e slot said @x1 where it should say x16...another problem solved.

I usually can sove problems myself...i'm no dummy...so when i come across something that absolutly stumps me i get frustrated.

In that case a repair install or a roll back of your drivers might have worked

No problem,we all get annoyed at times

No problem... we've all been there.

For future reference, the multi media class scheduler regedit works wonders, and may just solve your SP problems... and for sure any online spikes you may face.

thx guys for understanding.

So i installed cod mw2 and did a little bit of cleaning inside my case...ie dusting, new thermal paste...etc, etc. After rebooting to play mw2 i was surprized to see i was getting extremly good framerates, better then i was before i even reinstalled the first time. So i go to try the on-line play...soon to find out i was back down to low frame rates. I closed it down and opened up gpuz to see once again that my pci-e slot was again running at PCI-E 2.0x16@ 2.0x1. So now i have taken the gpu and put it in another pci-ex16 slot, and i did some testing to find that it is now staying at x16 like it should.

Now my question is...is that a sign of a failing mobo or is my gpu failing?

Could be a few things going on?

First, it could just be a bug in cpu/gpu-z. If you want to find out run 3DMark, then switch slots and run it again. If the results are the same in either slot, then it's probably just the bug they're talking about here and you can ignore cpu/gpu-z: DK 790FXB-M2RSH - pcie @ x4 instead of x16 - DFI Club Global Support Forum

It could be your bios getting twitchy on you... it certainly wouldn't be the first time I've seen a DFI bios spit out crazy random settings. See if there's an update for you: DFI LANParty:The Best OC Platform! Overclock, Motherboard, Intel, AMD. As you're probably well aware, it's no small task setting up a DFI bios properly.

Lastly, that slot could be bad... but unless you're going to go SLI it's not going to impact you as you have a spare.

Thx for the reply.

Looking into my bios i noticed that it is NOT updated as i thought it was, so my first task is to update that in the morning.

As for the first pci-e slot i think it's bad, i've had nothing but solid play on the second slot...if it goes i only have 1 left and i'll know it's time to get a new mobo...lol, thank goodness for 3 PCI-E x16 slots.

I've also thought about it possibly being my PSU, so i'll have to check that as well.

I've left the overclocking to a minimal untill i can figure what's up.

Use the guide in my sig to update your drivers and buy the retail copy - it will be more stable.

I know this thread is old...but i thought i would post an update as to what the problem was...1 little RAM timming off...that's it...stupid I know!
