Low battery on a controller shouldn't affect your FPS....mine would go into it's low battery state every couple of days and then switch off when I didn't change the batteries and it never affected my gameplay. Unless there's a setting that affects it like that but I am not aware of a setting like that

So. Just played Gears for 30mins without problem, full battery? I wonder if there is a setting that is causing the issue? When I turn my PC off, the controller stays on flashing for a while. Maybe it was been 'working for 5 minutes every time ' Seems strange??

Quick question, do you have bullguard installed, if so uninstall it, i know from experience it can cause massive frame drops

I think it might be good to try and collect some performance data to see whether that helps identify the problems. If you're not familiar with running the Performance Monitor in data collector mode, make a coffee and have a read of this: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/using-the-performance-monitor.60203/.

Then I think it would be worth running a Performance Monitor data collector session for as long as it takes to capture the 4fps problem (30 seconds?, 1 minute?, 5 minutes?) tracking some of the key performance counters. I'd suggest these as a start....

Processor\% Processor Time (_Total) - CPU busy across all logical processors
System\Processor Queue Length - ideally not more than 5 per logical processor
Memory\Available MBytes - if less than 100 then it's not a memory issue
Memory\Page Reads/sec - the hard page fault rate from SSD/HDD, more than about 100/sec is a problem
GPU Engine\Utilization Percentage - GPU busy across all engines
Physical Disk\Current Disk Queue Length - queue depth across all drives, not more than 2 for an HHD and not more than 4 for an SSD

If the network is involved in the game than also these...

Network Interface/Bytes Total/sec - compare with available network bandwidth, not more than about 80% ideally
Network Interface/Output Queue Length - the depth of the output queue, not more than 1

You'll see there are hundreds of counters you can track. The trick is to start at a high level (as above) and re-run a data collector session using lower level counters on the resource(s) that look to be overutilised.

That's one for next week!
Just 'finally' loaded up cyberpunk. DLSS quality. Everything ramped up to the max. 60fps. Boom

Hi! :)
Been getting the same BSOD code -

If you have a C:\Windows\Memory.dmp file please upload it to the cloud with a link to it here. If there are any minidumps in C:\Windows\Minidumps that are relevant please upload those to the cloud too. :)

First thing to try is to check the desk . To do this to let the automatic repair to round in a loop after 3 times you should get to the a screen which says continue, troubleshoot or turn off your pc . once here go into troubleshoot then advanced options and select command prompt it may ask you for your password at this stage if you have one. then run the command "chkdsk". This will check your hard drive for any errors.

Cheers pal. I just added them to the original link. No memory ones. Just mini?

They're not ideal but better than nothing. Upload them to the cloud with a link here please.

The two stop codes you mention; 0x7E - SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED and 0x1A - MEMORY_MANAGEMENT are commonly driver errors so check that all drivers are up to date. The 0x1A could indicate a RAM issue so I would suggest downloading Memtest, use the extracted tool to make a bootable USB stick containing Memtest and then boot that USB stick, Memtest will start running. Let it complete all four iterations of the 13 tests, this will take many hours so it's best run overnight.
