Just get an SSD and forget about BS like sleep mode - PC will boot just as fast.

I don't get it. You know that the issue is caused by sleep mode but you keep using it and even do several win reinstalls to have this useless "feature". It is really that hard to wait a minute while PC is booting up?

Read my previous post. I do have an SSD, and no, it won't boot up as fast out of sleep. And I do use sleep mode because I didn't have a problem with this before the reinstall, so I want figure out why it's doing this.

have you tried monitoring cpu/gpu after the computer recovers from sleep and you start a game?

How do I do this?

All right, wise guys. I've clean reinstalled my OS yet again. Updated Windows Updates, drivers, GPU drivers, everything. Same frickin problem. If I put my computer to sleep, then turn it on again, FPS across all games will be low. Then I do a restart, and it works perfectly. I honestly don't know what the problem is. And for the record, my OS is installed on a SSD, while my games, videos, programs, etc. are all on my HDD.

TLDR: games have low fps coming out of sleep mode, restarting PC fixes it.

Halp.

No, I didn't do another install after reverting because clean installs are a pain in the ass. My computer thinks all my steam and Uplay games are not installed even though they are, just on a different drive and I have to go back and "redownload" each one (although it discovers the old files, it still takes a long time).

A few weeks ago I clean reinstalled Windows 7 with the hopes of upgrading to Win 10. Well that didn't work out, so I reverted back to Win 7. But ever since then, my PC has been having major FPS issues. Sometimes my games would run perfectly, like it was before the reinstall, but sometimes the framerate would be super low, like around 8 FPS. Restarting the computer fixes the issue, but I want to fix this permanently so I wouldn't have to keep starting and restarting my PC every time I want to play a damn game.

Here are my specs:

CPU: Intel 3570k
GPU: GTX670
Mobo: Asrock Z77 Extreme4
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB

All my graphics drivers are updated, my Windows updates are updated, I don't know what else I could do. :/ Please halp.

So I've been trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 and it just keeps crashing. First off, here are my specs:

CPU: Intel 3570k
GPU: GTX670
Mobo: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (which Asrock's site claims IS Win 10 compatible!)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB

I've downloaded all the Windows updates, updated my GPU drivers, CPU drivers, Mobo drivers, BIOS, everything. The Windows 10 thing even says my PC is compatible. But in the middle of the upgrade, it will BSOD with an error saying SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED. Then it'll reboot, run into ANOTHER BSOD, this time saying IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL. Then it would reboot again, and give me the option of reverting back to Win 7.

Then I try doing a clean install of Win 7, format my OS drive (which is on a SSD) and reinstall Win 7. I update everything and try the Win 10 upgrade again. This time, Windows 10 works! Hooray! For about 2 minutes at least, then it BSODs with the System thread exception error again. It gets stuck in a blue screen loop for a bit, then lets me go back to Win 7, which I do.

At this point, I am all out of ideas. I've tried Google, but couldn't find anything with my problem. Any ideas, guys?

So today I tried to start up ACC China, and it's giving me an error. It says "ACCGame-Win32-Shipping.exe - Bad Image" and below that "C:\Windows\system32\MSVCR110.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error..."

The wierd thing is that I've been able to play it before no problems, so I don't know why it's suddenly giving me this error!! I believe I was in Sequence 3 and I'd REALLY prefer not to reinstall it and lose my save files and do it all fu<king over again. HALP.

Starpoint Gemini 2 may be worth looking into. You can fly cruisers with fighter wings and even boarding parties. I haven't played it much myself, but it's similar to Freelancer, except with bigger ships.

I would like to know more.

(as a side note, see what I did there?)

So I have a 128 GB SSD (C: drive) which I installed Windows 7 onto, and a 1 TB HD (E: drive) that I use for everything else. When I first built this PC, I had a little over half the space left on the SSD, but its slowly been filling up with god knows what, now I only have 18.5 GB of space left. I don't download anything to my SSD, and I don't install anything to my SSD. I download and install everything onto my 1TB HD. Does anyone know why my SSD is filling up so quickly, and how to clear it up? I've thought about just reformatting it, but a lot of Steam games have their save files on the C drive, so they end up on my SSD, and some of them have their save folders waaayy deep in the dark corners of the C drive that even if I were to back them up, I couldn't be sure I didn't miss any. Any advice?

If a game is on sale at the lowest price it will go, does that apply to the DLC also? Or will the DLC go down even more? I'm looking at a game I want to buy that's a Daily Deal. It's marked down 75%, which is great, but the DLC is marked down only 33%, making it cost almost as much as the game itself. Should I still go for it, or will the DLC go down even further in price? Thanks.
