Hello and welcome to PC Help Forum.

You proberly need to reinstall drivers/chipset and maybe a BIOS update.

How much RAM/Memory do you have?

Try the manufacturers website for driver downloads or if you give me make and model I will see what I can do for you?

Hi, on the right when you open this link it says driver.You need whats listed in there.GIGABYTE - Support - Motherboard - Driver - GA-8IPE775-G (Rev 1.0)

Use this to input your GPU specs that will give you your driver.Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

Now downloading and installing does not mean they actualy are installed check device manager.

Also what operating system are you running and what service pack and have you turned on automatic updates and got all of these installed?

If this is a company manufacturered computer do you have the make and model?Or is this a self build?

Hey I am a dudette lol.

Hello
Try using the windows utilities such as Disk Clean Up, Defrag and delete Prefetch files:
How to delete prefecth files;
Click Start> RUN> type: C:\WINDOWS\PREFETCH
> press CTRL+A> delete and empty from recycle bin.

After a recovery system performance does tend to drop due to loads of fragmented files. (Well it does with me anyway lol)

Hope this helps.
