Built new PC I7 6800K Samsung 8550 EVO drive 32 gig DDR4 ram Video card is older but Geforce GT 730. motherboard MSI x99a carbon pro. Win 7 64 bit Pro. System is running great BUT then after a while I get this message box pop up saying
"Do you want to change the color scheme to improve performance" wants me to switch from Aero to basic.
Now when this happens the performance seems to drop way way off. If I try and run say Real Flight a flight sim for RC aircraft the frame rate drops so low its not usable Video playback sucks real bad, (normally getting 150 to 200 FPS in Real Flight). Its like my system just turned into a 486 PC. Reboot fixes problem. BUT whats going on? I use Open Hardware Monitor to check CPU and GPU but nothing seems off. CPU 40C GPU 36C 744 mb free ram out of 1024 for video card . CPU load is very low on all 6 cores BUT performance is really bad. I have lateste Nvidia drives for vid card. Motherboard has latest bios.
I was thinking video card problem but the Hardware Monitor doesn't see any problem. The video card is from old PC I just rebuilt but ran fine on old PC which was a Q6600 quad core.
