Hey! It seems your PC runs slower compared to others even with similar specs. You checked benchmarks and ran tests, but no issues were found. Cleaning with Avast and Malwarebytes didn’t help. You used Cleaner to refresh your system, but only the startup speed improved. Your experience matches what you described—low frame rates in games like GTA Online, while friends with similar hardware achieve 50-60 FPS. Reinstalling Windows 10 might not fix this, as you mentioned past performance was solid. Possible causes could include overheating, outdated drivers, or background processes. Check CPU temperature, ensure proper cooling, and consider a hardware upgrade if needed.
Restart Windows. Prepare USB drive. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software.../windows10 2nd choice. Install SSD.
The benchmark ran at 1600mhz, yet my friend achieved the same speed. It’s DDR3 and I’m uncertain if it can be faster. I attempted an overclock but received a message saying it failed at startup. I’m using GeForce Gameready 461.40, though my Windows update might have stalled—possibly a year or more ago. I recently disabled updates to try again.
It's okay to save your data now. After reinstalling Windows, you might want to keep updates running either during the night or at a time when you're not using your computer.
