Low FPS / Choppy Gameplay after hard reboot

I have been having a problem for the past few weeks regarding significantly reduced FPS and choppy video while gaming.
Everything was running great up until about a week ago. I was playing a game in windowed mode and watching a DVD when my PC locked up. After a hard reboot, I logged back into the game and started seeing choppy video and very reduced FPS in certain situations. I am using the latest drivers for my video card and have tried a clean install of windows along with the game but the problem still persists. The choppiness can be seen at even the lowest resolutions with low detail settings. I have also noticed this while playing other games as well.
I do not believe that overheating is an issue. I also do not believe that system resources are a problem. If you look at my hardware specs below, you will see why I am so surprised by this issue..
Is it possible that a hard reboot could have damaged some hardware? Is there any way to check if something was damaged by the reboot?
Motherboard: MSI P6N Diamond
Video Card: Geforce 8800 GTX (tried latest release and beta drivers)
CPU: Core2 Quad Q6600
RAM: 4GB kit (2GBx2), 240-pin DIMM (CT2KIT25664AA80E)
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit (updated w/ windows update)
PSU: Antec 850 Watt Truepower Quattro

Please also check your temperatures.  If CPU Core temps are too high, the processor will automatically clock itself down to avoid overheating + shutdown.  This may cause lags and reduced FPS rates as well.
Here is a screenshot of SpeedFan while running the game in question.

  • Iphone stuck on 'plug into itunes' symbol - even after hard reboot

    Deciding to update my iphone 3G with the most current version release, my computer 'blue screened' while putting the updates on the iphone. Now my computer does not recognise any operating system (not good!) and my iphone (even after hard reboot) does not get past the 'plug into itunes' symbol.
    How do I fix my iphone? - I don't want to reset it to factory settings as my computer with everythihng on it (songs, movies, apps, contact, etc) no longer works!
    Any ideas, other than going to the Genius Bar and hoping they can fix it?
    Thanks
    Jo

    Place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Mac Pro 2009 Raid Set Lost after Hard Reboot

    We have a newer Nehalem based Mac Pro with a 2009 Black Apple Hardware Raid card.  The Hard Drive Configuration is: 4 x 2TB Western Digital drives setup as a Raid 1+0 array providing 4TB of space with what we believed to be optimal performance and redundancy.  We had two volumes / partitions configured on the array, one 120GB for the OS and the remaining 3.8TB for data. 
    Everything was working fine when the server froze up.  ON the Screen an error message said there is a problem with your Raid controller, Please open Apple Raid Utility.. Unfortunatly when we tried to do that we just got a spining beachball. We tried to open finder and it beachballed.  We tried to force quit and nothing working. Finally we were left with no choice but to do a hard restart of the server and turn the machine off and then back on. 
    When the server came back on it would not boot up.  We were greeting with the Folder with a Queston Mark.  We booted from the Mac 10.6 Snow leopard Server Disk and opened up Apples Raid utility software.  Much to our shock the Raid Set and the two Volumes were not shown in the Utility.  However all 4 of the drives were listed and all being shown as Green light good status, but listed as "Roaming".  We weren't sure what to do, the volumes weren't accesible since they didn't exist, the Raid set wasn't there, there was no way to run something like Data Rescue Recovery software.  We tried calling Apple and have to wait until they open this morning.  After looking online at various forums we came accross this problem with no solutions.  Most of the people with the problems had the older 2006 Blue Raid card, and this appeared to be a common issue amoung others with the older card.  I decided to try and re-create the Raid 1+0 set.  However as soon as I did that I was prompted by Raid Utility that the drives I was selecting to use for the Raid set were already a part of another raid set and using them would delete the data on the set.  I obviously canceled the process. Crazy enough the system knows the drives belong to a Raid set but doesn't realize it should know what the raid set information is.
    We were using Mac OS 10.6.7 Snow Leopard Server, and I even tried installing and updating an external drive with 10.6.7 Server and booted from the drive from the machine and try to run Raid Utility.  That did not work either.  Any advice from anyone would be awesome.  I'm worried what Apple is going to say when I do get a hold of them, the system is under Apple Care warranty.  Thanks in advance for anyone's time.

    I haven't lost data, but in my 2010 Mac Pro with 2009-vintage Apple RAID card, it has this Really Annoying Habit of constantly losing Disk 3 (the spare) in my 4x2 TB internal RAID5 array whenever I have to do a hard reboot.
    I keep having to re-mark the now-"Roaming" drive as a Spare and then wait 8+ hours for it to rebuild the array ... grrr.
    I saw an Apple KB article that suggests removing the Roaming disk and re-inserting it.  Duh.  Fat lot of good that did.  Really wish there was some answer to this issue ... hard reboots should NOT cause array disks to go from "Assigned"/good to "Roaming"! 

  • System no longer boots after hard-reboot.

    After I installed GNOME 3 from [testing] the system compleatly locked up, so I took out the battery and plugged it back in. Now at every boot I get this message.
    Since fixing a netbook is a huge pain (no CD drive) I took out the 2.5" drive and installed it in my other Arch desktop. What files should I copy over to fix this?

    Do I have to now uninstall the kernel26 and install it again when I'm done?

  • MBP Stuck at Welcome Screen after hard reboot.

    Hi All,
    I was trying to restart my 2.16ghz MBP last night, and it froze, so I did a hard restart. When I booted it again, it came to the welcome screen. If I go through the welcome screen wizard, it hesitates for a moment, and goes right back to the beginning of the welcome screen.
    I'm unable to boot from the optical drive, nor will it detect my Time Machine drive.
    Any thoughts?

    Can you insert the OSX install CD (#1) that came with the computer? If so, then restart, hold down "c" as soon as it chimes, and then once booted go to disk utility and use it to repair your internal hard disk. Maybe this works for your problem.

  • Cannot load software or maps after hard reboot N96

    I was having issues with my phone randomly rebooting, so I followed the instructions on this forum for a har reboot on the phone, and formatting the memory card and mass storage. Now I have a couple of issues:
     The phone is running software version 11.018. Software updater software cannot connect to the phone, and I have tried updating over the air but it comes back and says I am running latest version. Can anyone suggest how I can update to version 12?
    Second issue is I cannot connect to the phone using the Map Loader software. When I start the applicationit comes up with an error message that the connected phone is without a valid maps drive. It suggested restarting the application which I have done but to no avail.
    Please help me!

    Thanks for your reply.
    I can connect fine using PC suite and all applications appear to work normally, It is just the map loader software that seems to connect but immediately gives the error message about no valid maps drive. When I connect the phone for the maps application, it asks me to connect using Mass Storage mode, which I do.
    Also when I start the GPS application on the phone, I get the message "unable to find preferred drive C for storing map data. The following drive will be used: E" I can click IK and go into the GPS application, but it is clear there is no Map data. I am assuming I deleted my map file and/or the folder that the map loader software is looking for when I formatted the card and mass storage in the phone.
    The reset procedure I followed was described in this forum post: /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=157387&query.id=1415938#M157387
    "backup your mobile's contacts, messages, notes, calender and bookmarks via Nokia PC Suite backup utility. Don't backup anything else like settings or user files etc. Now backup your images, videos and music files using Windows Explorer. Now format your memory card and switch off your mobile. Now press and hold this 3 key "green call key, * and 3" together and switch on your mobile. Press and hold down that 3 button till country insertion dialogue appear. Check your problem first and if it solve then restore all your backup using PC Suite and explorer."
    I am thinking the  mistake I have made was to also format the mass storage inside the phone

  • IMac stuck (and asking for hard reboot)

    The problem is that suddenly (during Websurfing, watching video etc.) gray "curtain" falling down the screen and message (in different languages) appears saying I must push Power button until iMac shut down then turn it ON again.
    After hard-reboot in suggested way OS sends error report to Apple.
    There was about 6 times for two last weeks, today - twice.
    I really puzzled by this problem and hopin' some advices from community to recieve.
    My iMac is about 1 year old - 21.5", 3.2 Ghz i3, 8Gb RAM, OSX Lion 10.7.2

  • Hard reboot with binking caps lock and num lock lights DELL XPS M1530

    After returning from work I saw my DELL XPS M1530 had hung and there was blinking CAPS and NUM lock indicators, I had to hard reboot.
    This has happened with me some times.
    How can I investigate? Is there some log which i can see after hard reboot?
    I am on kdemod 4.1.3 with nvidia stable driver

    I used to have that problem on my laptop also. It seems to plague a good number of XPS 1530 owners. From what I can tell the problem seems to be either graphics card drivers or wireless card drivers. Do you happen to have the intel 4965agn card? If not, what hardware do you use for wireless and graphics?

    Have either of you had any luck with this issue.  It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes.  I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Login Screen freezes after Lion 10.7.2 upgrade - needs 3 hard reboots

    Just upgraded my 21.5" late 2009 iMac to OS X Lion 10.7.2.
    0. Power up from cold start: login screen appears, and mouse works, but clicking on users does not bring up the password box.  No option except for hard reboot.
    1. Hold down power button until it shuts down.  Power up, still no respponse (see 0.).
    2. Hold down power button until it shuts down.  Power up, still no respponse (see 0.).
    3. Hold down power button until it shuts down.  Power up, responds normally, can login (or start computing if login screen is bypassed).
    I saw messages (mostly for MacBook Pros) dating back to July/August 2011 with similar problems.  But none for 10.7.2, and none where it consistently takes 3 hard reboots to get a response.  I tried all of the suggestions that applied: SMC reset, repair disk permissions, change password, bypass login screen. If I use automatic login, it boots up into my desktop and all the services seem to start.  The mouse works, but nothing responds when I click on it (see 0.).
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    david

    Thanks lynque.  It turns out I did need a keychain repair, but that didn't fix the problem.  I probably should have done this earlier, but I ended up unplugging all peripherals (2 firewire + 3 USB) then powered up without issue.
    So I shut down, plugged in one at a time, and ran into the problem again after plugging in an external hard drive (WD My Book Essential).  I repaired with disk utility, but the problem remained.
    I then rebuilt the partitions with Disk Warrior, and now everything seems to work....

  • After update in ipad3 to iOS 7.1.1 I have lost all sound and the usual hard reboot, checking settings, etc have not worked. Help!

    How can I get my sound back on my ipad3? It has continually lost sound, but before I could do a hard reboot, reset settings, etc and get it back. After updating to iOS 7.1.1 the sound is totally gone and nothing restores it. Anything else I can try?

    Hi Mimipat72,
    There may be a couple of things that are affecting the sound on your iPad. It sounds like you have already tried restarting and resetting which are good general troubleshooting steps. I suggest first checking in Settings > Sounds and making sure all sounds are turned on. The following article describes these steps.
    iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5800
    If the sound settings are correct and you still have no sound, the next thing I would check would be the side switch. The side switch can either be set to lock the rotation of the iPad or mute the sounds. If the side switch is set to Mute, make sure it is toggled to allow sound. If the side switch is set to Lock Rotation, you will need to open the iPad Control Center to make sure sounds are not muted. The following article explains these functions.

    Thanks for reaching out,

  • I downloaded OS X Lion on my iMac and I'm having problems with my computer waking up after hibernating.  I can get to the login screen but my mouse will be frozen.  The only fix's is a hard reboot.  Any help would be great!

    Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM.
    1. SMC
    Read this and follow the instructions for your kind of mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2. PRAM
    Follow the procedure below:
    1. Power down the machine.
    2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    command–option–P–R
    3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
    4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should normally.

  • Lenovo Y510p low fps after fans running on high

    I had to take apart my lenovo y510p and change the dc port. Now everything is working fine but there seems to be a graphics card issue or something. After I play a game on medium~high settings, the fan blows on both sides on high speed it seems, then after a couple minutes, my frames drop from ~30 to 1-5fps. I have no clue why this happens, the graphics card is updated. This happens when I play battlefield or war thunder. What could be the issue? should I take my laptop apart again?

    Hi Chargersrool,
    Welcome to the Forums  
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with low FPS in your Lenovo Y510p laptop.
    Does this issue perists while playing all the games or only in particular games?, try to update the graphic driver and check for the issue.
    Click here for the graphic driver for windows 7.
    Click here for the graphic driver for windows 8.
    Click here for the graphic driver for windows 8.1.
    Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.
    Best regards,

  • Low fps after kernel upgrade

    After I've upgraded the kernel to 2.6.14, I have terrible FPS.
    I have a Nvidia FX 5900XT 128MB and normally in glxgears I get about 6000 but now
    loke@plexus ~ > glxgears
    7249 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1449.800 FPS
    5737 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1147.400 FPS
    5771 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1154.200 FPS
    5720 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1144.000 FPS
    5362 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1072.400 FPS
    5332 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1066.400 FPS
    5446 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1089.200 FPS
    This is really low fps - and that's about what I got with my old MX440 64MB card.
    Quake 4 is also unplayable now. I don't think it has anything to do with the new nvidia driver, because I've tried to downgrade the driver, and I get that bad FPS too.
    I suspect that it's the kernel, but I might be wrong?
    But a fix would be really nice, thanks.

    Interesting, I'm actually seeing something similar.
    __driCreateNewScreen - succeeded
    1599 frames in 5.0 seconds = 319.800 FPS
    1870 frames in 5.0 seconds = 374.000 FPS
    1872 frames in 5.0 seconds = 374.400 FPS
    1872 frames in 5.0 seconds = 374.400 FPS
    1877 frames in 5.0 seconds = 375.400 FPS
    That's 100 FPS less than the last time I checked. But Cube still runs quite smoothly. Perhaps there have been some changes to GLXGears?
    Edit: Oh, wait a minute, what you guys are talking about is a nVidia issue, and what I'm seeing probably has nothing to do with it. Sorry, my bad. :oops:
