Overnight massive frame drop, Please help!

[lasterman]

I basically only play CSGO, and until a couple of days ago I would run about 175-200 frames per second. I shut the computer down and overnight something must have happened, now I can only get up to 100 frames max, averaging about 50, with lots of stuttering. My computer is only about 3 months old and this is really bothering me. I tried: updating the graphics driver, restoring my PC from an earlier snapshot, and much more, but I ended up wiping my computer and reinstalling a clean copy of windows. I have never touched anything with overclocking and my CPU and GPU are both running at acceptable temperatures. I can't figure out why all of the sudden I can't get the frames I used to, and on lower settings I get even worse frames!

 

My system is:

CPU: AMD R5 1400

GPU: RX 580

MOBO: MSI B350m Bazooka 

RAM: 8 GB

HDD: WD 1TB 

 

I'm new here on the LTT forum so if anyone could be kind enough to help a beginner in the PC world it would be much appreciated!

I'm sure more knowledgeable members will offer better info, but is it possible that CS:GO dropped an update with a bug causing FPS issues? A google search for "cs:go update fps" shows that this has happened in the past (as recently as July 2017).

 

Maybe check for recent CS:GO updates.

 

Also run Furmark (http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/) and Heaven Benchmark (https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven) to check the health of your hardware independent of games.

The update didn't affect it I don't think because it still ran fine after it, but I will give the benchmarks a try, I suspect the hardware may be the problem sadly.

Can you post a picture of the processes in task manager (found in the details tab). To me it sounds like a cpu usage issue (with the lower settings making it worse)

you checked for all fans spinning?

 

 

Is it suddenly hotter in your region then before?

There was a new AMD Radeon beta update last week. Could it be that you have installed it (it clears wattman settings too)?

Did you activate chill by error? If activated it could be nasty hitting F11.

 

You did a cmos reset by error? (mainboard bios goes back to standart settings)

 

 

can you check your HDD  with crystal disk?
