Hello, guys!
I'm here requesting help for a friend, (an actual friend) who has low fps while they're gaming.
It started yesterday during League of Legends. First and foremost the specs are as follows:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+, Manchester 90mm Technology
RAM: 2.00GB Dual-Channel DDR @ 198MHz (3-3-3-8)
Motherboard: ASUSTek Computer INC. Amberine M (Socket 939)
Graphics: HP w1707 (1440x900@60Hz), 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT (XFX Pine Group)
Storage: 232 GB Seagate ST3250410AS ATA DEVICE (SATA)
Optical Drives: IDE-DVD DROM216 ATA Device, LITE-ON DVDRW SHw-160h6S ATA DEVICE
Audio: Realtek AC'97 Audio
The Situation
A few days ago the internet had been off. (Nothing to do with it just background information). When it returned. My friend installed
some windows updates. The updates crashed but the PC was still on. My friend restarted the computer and received two blue screens. They tried to do a system restore but it could not be restored to an earlier point, (something prevented it).
Later on once my friend got into windows it said it was restored to a previous version.
Now the problem persists.
My friend had an average FPS in most games. However now it has been reduced to Five or a One and they can no longer receive windows updates. They're neither downloading nor installing the windows updates. Troubleshooting/Fixes did not help.
P.S The temperatures seem relatively cool (40 degrees Celsius) the highest temperatures were the CPU with 48 Degrees and Graphics with 61 Degrees.
Please, if you can. Offer some advice. All help is welcomed and appreciated.
Cryptic.
