So recently I had a power outage for a half a second and my computer died, PSU fried so I bought a better one (went from 620w to 750w) but now whenever I try to play games it doesn't do too well
- I've tried pulling it all apart and back together
- Updating all the drivers
- checking if it's detected in device managers and it is
- even the nvidia manager says its cool
I am trying to play TF2 and it sits at 25-30fps
my specs:
NVIDIA GeForce gtx 960 4gb (so pretty fucking decent)
Intel i3-4170 @ 3.7ghz
and a decent psu so that shouldn't be the problem
could it be something to do with a bios update?
I'm stumped, just about ready to buy a new gpu
shameless self bump because i am hecked
You sure something else wasn't damaged from the power outage? Does your GPU make any weird noises (specifically your fans) or crashes you system?

everything seems fine, the fans dont spin until i open a game and then they spin but it doesnt help with the frames
never had a crashed system

Re-install GPU drivers, check BIOS to see if everything boots in the correct order, Check for updates on anything, update any other possible drivers.
>Re-install GPU drivers most of all, not just update
Also upgrade that i3 sometime.

welp it wasnt the gpu drivers
uninstalled and reinstalled and still getting awful fps on a free to play fps game
how do i know if the bios load is right or not? i dont wanna ruin anything
