I've recently upgraded my RAM to 16GB (4GB before the change), and I've noticed my computer runs slower than before. After the change, gaming reached higher FPS than ever and surfing the web was no issue, however, I had an issues where my computer was switching itself off spontaneously, which I managed to stop by giving my computer a quick maintenance sweep e.g. cleaning CPU fan, removing and fitting the RAM in again, etc. Now, my FPS in games has plummeted, even lower than before the change. I am unsure as to what has happened, or how I could change it, any advice would be brilliant.
Specs:
- AMD Radeon HD 7700 series,
- Intel(R)Pentium(R) CPU G840 @2.80GHz, 16GB RAM, 64-bit OS
