hello and thx in advance.
im an avid gamer and sometimes i leave my computer on to download game updates and whatnot, while i was waiting i took a nap.
woke up a few hours later to a BSOD. ive had them before(just a couple times), didnt think it was a big deal. restarted my computer and started a game of LoL(league of legends).
Ive got a gtx580 graphics card and normally get great fps in pretty much every game i play. this time i started at around 5 fps and went no higher than 35 the entire game. thinking it could be a program issue unique to the game i tried a different one, this time i got 60 fps but since on the second game i normally cap out at 500ish that is still terrible.
my hard drive was extremely full(4 gigs left out of 500). cleaned it up made no difference. got a critical service error a little while later. just installed the newest drivers for my card. cleaned up hard drive(91 free now).
any thoughts on the issue would be appreciated. my theory was that my gpu is for some reason not recognized so my motherboard switched to the onboard gpu, but when i got to my device manager it is listed correcly.
