Even after reinstalling windows, pc still doesn't run right

So I've done just about everything a man can do to help my pc, and at this point it has to be a CPU problem. What else could I even do?

Whats the problem?

Edited


Specifications and specific windows version would help.

Specs:
Mobo: asrock fm2a75m-dgs fm2
GPU: amd rx 460 sapphire nitro edition
CPU: AMD athlon 750k @ 4.2 GHz
PSU: Corsair cx430

Specs are on my profile. Windows 10 home. I've had other threads you can look at for other info.

Your mainboard is missing.

What are the cpu temps and have you ran prolonged stress testing to ensure the cpu oc's stability? What cpu cooler are you using?

are you running the stock cpu cooler?

This topic lacks allot on vital information for us,
to being helpfull.

What is the actual problem?

They stay around 36c while gaming. Yes I have, I ran a test for about 2 hours or so, and it was fine. I've since even taken the clock down to see if that was it. I'm using a stock cooler.

asrock fm2a75m-dgs fm2 This is the exact board.

Okay, the problem I've been having is just that my going constantly throttles usage like crazy, and hence it causes my frame times to go insane and makes the game unplayable.

Okay, first thing. No its not an excellent board. Its a 4+1 power delivery system without cooling, and you were running it overclocked on a chip that is already at stock, hitting the board's recommend power maximum. That'll cause problems. Secondly, that board is not certified for higher than windows 8.1 and your running 10 on it.

Well I have had no problems with it when I have my previous graphics card which was a 650ti. It's only since I've had this new card that it's given me problems. And like I said, I've since dropped the oc to remove it from being a possible issue for the board.

Yeah running the oc over time will degrade the board rapidly when we consider the chip you were using was already at stock, as much as the board was designed to handle.

Even still, when I had my previous card I had my CPU at 4.2, and I saw no issue there. It could be seeing a problem with it now, but it's yet to be seen. I have a new board and CPU coming in tomorrow, hopefully that will fix the issue.

I guarantee its on that motherboard. If its not the board vrm, its the board's lack of support for windows 10. If that's not it, it could be that you had problems prior to the 460 that just weren't evident because the 650 ti you were using didn't have enough compute power to be able to cause the cpu to do enough work to expose its underlying issues.

I find this a fringe case but its possible. What were your cpu load temps when you were running the overclock? Stock cooler and that cpu sounds like higher than pleasant cpu load temps. Keep in mind amd chips shouldn't be run at load higher than the mid 60's. They don't have the temper tolerance of intel chips to go until the 90's or even 105c.

In overwatch, which is practically all I play right now, it would get around a max of 38-40C. My new chip is Intel so that should be better. If what you think it is is the problem, would that sort of thing cause my CPU to randomly go up in usage during a game?

If its the board, power delivery delivering too much, not enough, or fluctuating voltage. The board having problems interfacing with Windows due to bios compatibility that isn't present.

Could be just that the cpu has been damaged by the oc and now has deeper issues. I've got an 8350 that went sour and has to be run at 3.5ghz instead of the stock 4.0ghz to ensure stability. Stuff like that happens to chips that have been used for a while at above-stock voltage and frequencies.

That would suck for sure. I've stepped it down on clock, and turned off the turbo. I should just let it chill out being that I have a new one coming tomorrow anyway. I'm running some more tests to see if I can get it to be at least a little better.

I think that the cpu 750K + RX470 is mainly were the trottle could come from.
Of course this will be depending on the games you play.
But your current cpu is not really in balance with the gpu i think.
I personally dont think that the motherboard is really the problem.
But you could try to test at stock speeds firstly.
