I've been suffering with a problem for a few weeks now.

A few times a week I need to restart my PC as all of my 3D apps run at a slower speed than they should, this includes games and Skype.
FPS is fine but everything runs at around half speed.
I've never heard of a problem like this before so just wondering if anyone had any ideas.
 
Bump, anybody got any ideas? :(

I just turned my PC on and everything is running at about 20% speed. It takes several seconds for Chrome to minimize.
 
Full virus and spyware check?

Checked event viewer?

Might be worth updating your graphics drivers.

Also try running afterburner and see if anything drops at the time you have your issues...or you could use AIDA logging.
 
Done a virus and spyware check, everything seems okay.
I've reinstalled drivers a few times.

At first I thought it was just games, but it affects everything. Even folder windows were taking an age to open and close.

It only seems to happen on a cold boot. Once I restart it usually fixes itself.
 
Download GPU-Z and click on the logging function so it records your cards speed/temps vs time to a doc file, then after playing check the file to see if the card is reach its rated speeds.

Temps are fine, 75C roughly. And both cards are running at 1291Mhz. Fps is around 100.
 
Do some screenshots, mate :) CTRL ALT DEL, task manager -> task list and CrystalDiskInfo SMART report. Afterburner/GPU usage and CPU usage from windows task manager will be helpful, too.
 
Are you prepared to update the boards BIOS/SSD firmware etc (if they havent been done for awhile) then wipe the OS and do a fresh install and try again with the latest drivers etc.

I'm on the latest mobo bios, so a fresh install of Windows might be my only option :(
 
Does switching to a classic windows theme (disabling aero) fix it? If it does then it could be video card driver related.

Interesting, I'll try it next time it happens.

It has only started happening when I got my 970s, but I don't see how they could cause things to run so badly. Hmm.
 
I did a fresh install of Windows and now I'm having even more problems.
My pc fails to post 9 times out of 10, I get error code 62 which is "installation of the pch runtime services".
Anyone got any ideas? :(
 
Hmm, Could you try taking one of the cards out and see if that gets you anywhere? From a general sense seems like mobo or maybe even cpu
 
Yeah I'm just using one card right now.
When it finally does boot I don't get an option to run at 120hz.
I also can't change the resolution from 800x600.
