With these specs i should be able to run allmost any games from around medium to ultra settings but my framerate bumps up and down for no reason. For example i launch minecraft wich isent the most demanding game ever and my frame rate goes up to around 80 FPS, but around every 15 seconds it goes down to 10 for 2 seconds for no reason why is this i hope you can help me

Make sure you have all of your drivers installed and up to date. And if you have any overclocks, remove them.

What are your full specs and what monitor do you have?

Well ofr minecraft it is very CPU intesive, it might be a ram issue, what is the clock on your ram and CPU?

Go into the bios and activate HPC mode! You welcome

Wouldent that be bad since im not overclocking?

[AABK]

No, if you activate it, HPC will not let your pc to lower the cpu frequency if is under load.

Ok so i downloaded HW monitor to check the temps of my cpu under load and i said that it had reached around 100-150 degrees Celius wich is not possbile considering that would melt the fan on the CPU

Can you please install another app and check the temp again ? Something like Aida64

ok i Installed the app, and did a bit of googling. Maby its a problem with my shitty MSI 760G Mobo

So, the real temp is 45º not 146º. Something is not wright with your temp sensor.

Did you activate the HPC mode ? Do you have those problems anymore ?

So i went into the bios but i could not find the HPC mode anywhere, could it be called anything else. Or did i look in the wrong place

What is your mobo model ? 

This is a ROG mobo.

Its an MSI 760GM-P21 (FX) 

[AABK]

I know what is your problem mate. Your shitty mobo. http://us.msi.com/product/mb/760GMP21_FX.html#/?div=CPUSupport  Look at Note 1 and Note 2

Your CPU is NOT on the support page. That mobo only supports CPU`s with max tdp of 95W , your CPU has a tdp of 125W.  http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/processors/amdfx/pages/amdfx.aspx#2

Ah fuck this meens ill have to buy a new Mobo for this thing to even work. I have like 110 dollars laying around do you think that will be enough to get a good enough mobo? Does this explain the wierd temps tho?

Thanks for the help i dont think i would be able to figure this out without the help of an awsome comunity btw

[AABK]

I have done some research and I can recommend you this one http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A99X-EVO-R2-0-Motherboard/dp/B0091RA8U0/ref=sr_1_24?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1392822549&sr=1-24

Well that exact mobo is alot more expensive than that over here in europe, but thanks for the help anyways . When i posted this post on the forum i had no clue that this even had anything to do with my mobo, i would be clueless without the wondfull help you gave me.
