so i went to start playing a fifa 12 today and my pc appears to be struggling to even cope with playing this, now normally my pc handles this no sweat for obvious reasons, but today it just seems to get slower and slower to a point where my FPS dips down to 15-24 whereas im normally constantly at 60 fps

so i thought maybe a restart will help, so i did this but no luck, so i loaded up batman arkham city, a game i can normally handle and im dipping in fps again (15-25 while in combat) (25-30 while not in combat) now normally when im not in combat i average at about 55-60 fps with the slight dip when in combat.

also batman arkham city took along time to load and while it was loading core 4 seemed to stay maxed at 100% while the others jumped all over the place (normal) so i found this very perculiar for core 4 to stay maxed out completley as its never done this before

the only changes i have made to my pc is that i updated my bios last night through windows, but i doubt this would cause a problem ?

anybody offer any guidance?

thanks :)
