So I just updated my CPU/MB/RAM/PSU/SSD. I got everything installed and it was working great. Not that I needed to I ran the FFXIV benchmark, great score etc etc. Decided to play with the AI Suite II and it did it's thing and showed a 000% increase but set my CPU to 4.2ghz. Went to run the benchmark again and this time it will randomly peg my GPU at 200% and cut my FPS to 30 for a second or 2 then go back to normal. I figured it was the weird OC program so I reset the bios back to default and uninstalled the program but it's still showing the problem within the benchmark.
Now I had a similar problem to this before I upgraded (it would go away after about 10 mins) but it would show ingame as well. So wondering if I still had the same problem I went ahead and logged into FFXIV. But I got no slow downs. So as far as I can tell it's only happening in the benchmark, which isn't a big deal but it may be a foreshadowing or a bigger problem.
Other problem I just ran into as well is when I start firefox it will be just a white box for 5ish seconds then finally load firefox. I disabled all addons and even reinstalled firefox but it keeps happening. Now when I launch firefox in safemode it instantly opens. Any ideas?
