Star Wars The Old Republic does not run smoothly, the rest works as usual: Why is that?

Since a few days I have now the problem that the above-mentioned game (hereinafter referred to as SWTOR) despite unchanged settings and current drivers is no longer running smoothly, even reducing the settings has brought nothing. Everything else is back to normal now that I have not had my problem with the bluescreens.

Until a few days ago, the game ran smoothly until the PC hung or displayed a blue screen. Since I had updated the drivers long ago, which are still up to date.

I have a "normal" computer (so no laptop or something, nothing mobile), which has been updated in February from Win7 to Win10 and has undergone a technical all-round improvement, including drivers and graphics card. The latter is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 ti and has always been more than adequate. And as I said, it has only been installed since February.

Can the problem still be s.der graphics card? As I said, everything else works so far, I can watch YouTube videos in HD, but SWTOR does not run smoothly despite reinstalling. However, I'm a layman, as far as that is concerned, so I can't rule out what.

Where else can the problem come from?

Greeting,

I had similar problems lately.

For me, the CPU fan was clogged and the CPU was running hot.

This is a shot in the blue, maybe you have the same problem.

You can determine the temperature of the CPU with the program Core Temp.

But that could also have many other causes.

Ve

And that, although everything else works?

Sorry, I really do not know myself

Ve

Somehow that's weird. I have three tabs in Chrome, the Task Manager and a sound program, and the Task Manager indicates that the memory is working at 67% capacity

Ve

So for all four processors (Core) is displayed, the minimum measured temperature is on average 38 ° C and the maximum measured temperature at 48 or 50 ° C.

Ve

Okay, the minimum temperatures are going down, but the maximum temperatures are still unchanged.

ab

38 ° C and the maximum measured temperature at 48 and 50 ° C.

Then that will not be the reason.

What else could it be? The main memory is, when I log in, fully utilized at one go, that can't have been so before, when everything was running smoothly. It was not until about last Thursday, but I still had my problem with the bluescreens. I have not since Friday, but now I have the problem with the memory. Before that, I could easily have left tens of tabs in Chrome next to SWTOR, and both would have run smoothly on high settings. Now, after logging into SWTOR, all 4 GB of RAM are used at once. And yes, my PC has 4 GB of RAM. It was fixed in February, technologically improved and updated from Win7 to Win10. The new technology can't be broken just four months later

ab

Unfortunately I can't help you, that can be anything.

You could try to rebuild your whole system.

If you think it's because of Ram I might be looking for software that can test the Ram.

When I log in, the main memory is fully utilized at one go

Take a look at what's in the startup everything is in it.

Ve

So many active processes are not, but I can check it out tonight. Maybe I've caught something or something, I do not know.

With "system reset" do you mean ne reinstalling Windows 10, right? The data on my two hard drives remain untouched, right? That would also be an occasion to clean up, that's what I planned to do anyway
