I just put a new motherboard in my computer that I've built and now whenever I play a game the frame rate fluctuates between ~64fps to ~5fps constantly. I've updated the drivers for the graphics card and have even re-installed windows.
I opened up the task manager on my other monitor to see if there was something else eating up the CPU usage and the only thing that changed when the frame rates drop was the system idle process. Now everyone has said that is normal, but the frame rate drops whenever the system idle process goes up.
I have also tried opening up the case to make sure there was enough air flow in to the processor and it still does it. Does anyone know what the problem was and/or know how to fix it?
