All games that have run smoothly on high graphics before now run poorly

[klex]

I noticed that over the months that my games would run terribly even though I have a good system and all games ran fine before. Now, my games go from 60 to 40 to 15 and then jump back up to 60 all in the span of 2 or 3 seconds, constantly. I have the current drivers for GPU. Here are specs to pc:

Intel i7-4790 3.60ghz
Nvidia 2060
500w psu
16gb ram
2 TB of storage
single Dell monitor 1980x1200

original pc was a Lenovo P300 Thinkstation.

I switched from windows 7 to win 10 since it was becoming incompatible with software and I was hoping all of my problems came from that. However, when I used the media creation tool to put win 10 on my C: drive, for some reason win 7 is still on my pc. In the picture below you can see the win10 taskbar, and the win 7 menu.

Have been getting frustrated over this for nearly a year, any help would be appreciated.

Let’s a speccy report to get a better picture as to what is going on.

[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.[/COLOR]

Ah, I was wrong about the PSU. It ended up being a Corsair HX520W Modular Power Supply.

The link to the speccy profile is here:

You do and have Windows 10 Pro 64 bit you also have a program installed and running that is called classic shell that will make your start menu look like Windows 7.

From the speccy report

[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]ClassicStartMenu.exe
Process ID: 10056

[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Path: C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe

It ended up being a Corsair HX520W Modular Power Supply.

Is not enough for the GPU you have it has an output of 480 watts.

2047MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

Requires a 550 watt minimal.

Which explains why you are seeing the graphics issue that you are having.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

If the issue is just classic shell, and not some kind of fragment of the old OS interfering with the pc, that’s fine.

I’ll start looking into a 650-700w PSU. I’ll try to have updates when I install it. Thank you for your help

[Rustys]

Let us know how the system goes after the update to the proper PSU.

Should you have any questions on the PSU that you are considering feel free to ask.
