Weird start-up screen, new GFX causes low FPS in-game, Windows 10 randomly freezes

[Apasalic]

Hello forum! First time posting here!

I really need help with my pc! About 2-3 months ago, my old GFX burned down, so I bought a new one -> MSI AMD Radeon R9 380.

 

Since then, I can play games etc., but it's not running as smooth as my old GFX....

In CSGO, I'm running medium settings and barely reach 100fps

In Witcher 3, I barely reach 60 fps on medium settings.

I have seen Youtube videos and benchmarks, and this card should atleast run better frames than this? Maybe my CPU is bugging me? I dunno and I'm just stressed about it..

 

I also experience this problem with the start-up screen after installing new GFX

 

Also since Windows 10 upgrade, my pc seems to freeze at random occasions when I first start-up my pc. I restart and it works!

are your drivers upto date etc?

 

I have updated my Grafics drivers yes and all other drivers are updated aswell. 

I dunno if I should update BIOS? And if so, I don't know how to  :wacko:

No one has any clue about my problem or can help me?

Your i5 may not be the best i5 for gaming,but I dont think that you are bottlenecking,maybe a litlle bit.I would suggest using Diplay Driver Uninstaller(google it) remove the current driver,and install either an odler or the newest.NVidia drivers for windows 10 are poop.

Did you do a clean install of windows 10 when you upgraded?

If not, this might be worth a try.

Hope this helps

I did a test with 3D Mark demo from Steam.

Does this mean my CPU is bottlenecking me?

might sound stupid but did you look into why your old GPU died?

Im thinking you might have a lumpy power supply which killed your old card and is giving you grief on the new one...

 

Sounds plausible at the very least
