So I've recently built a new computer, and threw down some heavy cash on a Sapphire 7950 OC edition.
About 1 out of every 10 times I load a game, WoW, SWTOR, Alien vs Predator,Skyrim, anything... the game runs like crap
It's happening right now in WoW, I'm at a consistent 12 ..yes twelve.. frames per second. What the crap? No matter how
many times I restart the game, it does not fix the problem. Only thing that works is a system reboot.
Now when this issue isn't happening, I enjoy WoW on Ultra at 60fps. Every other game runs smooth as silk too... until this bizarre issue pops up.
I have no idea what causes it. I don't let my computer go into sleep or hibernate, or even turn off HD after hours of idle use. Only power saving feature I
use is my monitor shuts down after an hour.
Rest of my hadware is as follows.
Asus Sabertooth 990FX
AMD 975 @ 3.7ghz
Corsairs 8gb DDR1600
WD 500gb 32mb cache hd.
Win 7 64 bit, fully updated.
