Windows 10: hello there. everytime when i boot my pc i get fps, gpu, cpu and LAT in top right corner....

please help, it annoys me very much

:)

 

Why does my cpu and gpu keep spiking and dropping fps in games?

Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

Experiencing CPU and GPU spikes, along with FPS drops in games, can be frustrating. Here are some potential solutions to help you address these issues:

1. Update Drivers:
   
   • Regularly update your graphics and chipset drivers to the latest versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
     
2. Close Background Processes:
   
   • Use Task Manager to close unnecessary background processes and applications that might be using system resources.
     
3. Improve Cooling:
   
   • Clean your PC's fans and ensure proper airflow. Consider adding more fans or using a more aggressive cooling solution if necessary.
     
4. Check for Malware:
   
   • Run a full system scan to check for malware that might be using system resources.
     
5. Adjust Game Settings:
   
   • Lower the game's graphical settings to reduce the workload on your GPU and CPU. This can help maintain a more stable FPS.
     
6. Test Hardware:
   
   • Test your GPU and other hardware components on another system to rule out hardware failure. If a component is faulty, consider replacing it.
     
7. Enable Unified GPU Usage Monitoring:
   
   • If using MSI Afterburner, enable "unified GPU usage monitoring" to potentially fix usage spikes and stuttering.
     
8. Check Internet Connection:
   
   • Ensure your internet connection is stable, especially for online games. A weak connection can cause FPS drops.
     

Please do let me know if the method I suggested works for you or if you need further assistance.

 

Pc boots up to BIOS After removing gpu

Hello Yuval Evron,

Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

It seems like there are a few different issues happening with your PC booting into BIOS after removing the GPU and some previous changes to the motherboard, CPU, and RAM.

Let's try to troubleshoot the problem step by step:

1. Re-seat the GPU: Before we do anything else, try re-seating the GPU back into its original slot. Sometimes, improper connections can cause booting issues.
   
2. Disable CSM (Compatibility Support Module): Since you mentioned that enabling CSM did work before, try disabling it this time. If the option keeps reverting to enabled, it could be a sign of a BIOS issue or an incompatibility. If disabling CSM doesn't work, re-enable it for now.
   
3. Check boot priority: Ensure that the boot priority is set correctly in the BIOS. The drive containing your operating system (usually your primary storage drive) should be set as the first boot option.
   
4. Check for Windows corruption: To rule out Windows-related issues, you can try creating a bootable USB with Windows installation media (using another PC) and see if it recognizes your storage drive during the installation process. If it does, you can attempt to repair or reinstall Windows. This will also help verify if your OS drive is functioning correctly.
   
5. Test with a different GPU (if available): If you have access to another GPU, try installing it in your system and see if the PC boots up properly. This will help determine if the issue is related to the GPU or something else.
   
6. Test without the GPU: As a final step, try booting the system without the GPU installed. If your CPU has integrated graphics (check if your CPU supports this feature), connect your display directly to the motherboard's video output. This will help determine if the issue is isolated to the GPU or if there's a broader problem.
   

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there could be a hardware proble

If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Random low gpu usage leads to whole pc on 10 and below fps

Hi, I have a pc with specs:

Intel Xeon 2600

Amd rx460

16gb ram ddr3 1300mhz (i think)

Psu cooler master 550W

Windows 10 pro

First when I bought the pc, the fps in game was great and I could list the games such as,

Warzone- 55+ fps

Apex- 70+ fps

Valorant- 90+ fps

Genshin- steady 60 fps

But lately, I noticed when i booted windows, it load so slow and my whole windows is lagging. It couldn’t even load calculator.

So i did some test run on Apex with task manager on,

I noticed that the gpu usage was below 20% and cpu usage on about 60%. And funny, when i flick my gpu, sometimes it will run like normal. The usage on gpu will be back on 90% to 100%. But then for some times it will be on low usage. I did check on all power management and all. I set it to high performance already. And in the amd software i didnt set any fps limit. Oh and also the gpu doesnt run hot. I mean the temperature is even on 52C (usage on 20%). It acted like it didnt wanna run on full performance. (Let you know when it run on high usage, the temp will reach on 70C).

The question is, is my gpu gonna be dead or it is the loose pcie? Or is it the psu that doesnt supply enough power? Because i dont think its my cpu bottlenecking because it runs fine before.

Oh and also i saw an error that says WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR in BSOD.

Thanks for those who are willing to answer my question..
