why does my pc suddenly run terrible in gaming?

[Khamiri]

whenever i play a game like shogun 2 or gta 5 the game runs 20-30fps but when i click restart and all the applications and processor closes i immediately click on cancel  and ones i do that and play shogun 2 or gta 5 the game starts running at 60fps?

 

why is my computer like that? is there some application thats making my pc run like crap that i just dont know about? i used pccleaner and i closed all application in the task manger but i still get the problem? and like i said i have to restart my pc and then quickly hit cancel inorder to play normally?

Specs?

do you run some background programs that hog the system resources?

Open a game, then alt tab and open resource monitor, and then let it run while playing the game.  After a couple minutes go look and see if there are any programs averaging more than 1% CPU usage other than the game itself.  If so then you should probably look into removing those programs.

You have a bunch of stuff running in the background ?

As said above, it's probably that

My PC did this when I was running an i3 4160 CPU. Upgraded to an i5 4460, all was fine.

 

GTA V does favour a better CPU - only other choice would be to reduce your eye candy further...
