Hello all,
For many of my past issues I have looked to this forum, in which helpful and sound advice has generally followed to users queries.
This time it's me with the thread, as i'm currently stumped, hopefully you can shed some light on this for me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue:
I noticed recently in any games I play (eg. CSGO) I'm getting 20-50 fps, whereas I used to get a solid 230ish. Other games also performed very well.
Steps:
I thought perhaps my CPU is overheating, or under heavy load. Checked all my components load/temp and they were all good.
So I ran a virus scan (MalwareBytes) and detected a Trojan + AdWare. Deleted those and tried CSGO again, same issue.
Next Day: Turn on the computer, I ran another scan again, found some more Malware. After removing this I checked msconfig to see if any Malware is perhaps starting on boot, nothing unusual. Checked regedit to see if anything is running there also, nothing unusual.
Next Day: Run Safe mode with Networking and run ESET scanner, which detects multiple malware. Remove them all and restart the computer, try CSGO and issue perists.
Re-installed Windows with the CD etc, transferring my files and data. Re-install drivers for graphics card. Open CSGO, same issue.
COMPUTER SPECS:
CPU: Intel i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz
RAM: Corsair 8gb
GPU: GTX 750Ti
If you need any additional information i'm happy to provide, part of me is wondering if the Malware is the issue anymore. I don't know if it corrupted something to make my performance lower, unless the Malware IS still there.
Many thanks
