Fragsman Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Windows 7 Professional 64bit 460gtx 1gb non-OC Problem: Suposse I am watching a video. When I don't move the mouse for .. let's say 2 miutes. FPS drops a lot!!!! It's like entering in power-saving mode or some strange thing but this is not a laptop. I already performed System Restore to 5th February and I don't update drivers since like 6 months. So it's very weird. If I am active it performs perfectly (no drop in FPS) Perhaps anyone know what the key is. thanks! Proof in YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XUWHeJvl-4 EDIT: Format has solved the problem.

ir_cow Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 what CPU do you have? also if it's doing this during idle maybe it's trying to defrag or install updates. The 3rd thing I can think of is if it's power saving mode the CPU isn't operating correctly but that's a long shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Hum.. I haven't tought of CPU.. I have an Intel i7 950. I usually use it on power saving mode.. but when it happened it was full capacity and that NEVER happened before. I use the power save since I bought the computer in 2010. This must be something else. I bet my @ss it's some windows update or something but I already restored system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I would just update drivers and system . also use VLC player instead of WMP which sucks . than defrag and clean temp. maybe that will clear it up . also sometime anti-virus likes to run when the computer is idle .. I would disable that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Have you checked the power options in control panel? Even though it isn't a laptop it's worth checking. I usually create a custom config on each format with no power saving/sleep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) I will check for sure tomorow. I ADDED THE LINK TO THE VIDEO ABOVE IN YOUTUBE If not moving mouse for 2 minutes GPU goes to 100% usage and FPS goes down like hell so GPU starts to heat.. I can't let AFK games.. I just discovered GPU was at 100%.. but low fps it's nonsense. Edited February 19, 2014 by Fragsman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I'm beginning to think it's not a hardware problem. Maybe there is something nefarious going on in your OS, one of your background services or applications? Have you tried a fresh install? Ran any trojan, virus or malware scans lately? Maybe someone has hacked your gpu and is using it for bitcoin mining? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Yes for me it's the same. A pure software problem. I have installed Windows in 2010 when I bought the PC. Maybe it's time for a fresh install after all (Anyway I take care of my PC but a fresh install won't hurt and will solve the problem 100%) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Nothing as sweet as a fresh install of Windows Back in the 95 / 98 / 2000 and even XP - I always ended up doing a fresh install in less than a year anyway. Come to think of it, my current installation of Windows 7 Pro is probably the longest I've had an OS running and not found or created a reason for a fresh installation. I think I'm right a year now Strangely I've got this sudden urge to buy bigger SSDs and do a fresh install of Windows.......... oh snap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I agree with all you said. I have never used an OS for more than 3 years without format. Windows 7 is the exception. I installed many games and programs and almost never had a problem.. brillant SO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
