Was running the game on max with no issues at all. All of a sudden a HUGE decrease and almost unplayable. Ive tried everything I cant think of from lower settings, drivers, ect to no avail. My kid is almost in tears because he cant play this game anymore!
Do any smart people see anything below that could be causing a pitiful performance on Star Wars The Old Republic?
Thanks

First thing I see is your drivers for your GPU is not up to date. Go to amd or the brand name of the cards web site and up date your driver. If you are running the program Game boost don't. It really cause problems more then it helps.
What is the brand and size of your PSU? I know your GPU is a AMD 57??. If I had to guess now I would say it is your PSU and it is burning out. The reason I say that is because you stated that the preformance started to decrease little by little and now you can't enjoy it.
If it was a CPU you would crash. hard drive nothing would work right. GPU things on the monitor that are not games. Ram could be but I don't think so. Let me know and I will try to get back to you.

Your drivers are 10.11 and the new one's are 11.11, 11.12, and betas are 12.10, 12.? If eveything elese run's ok. Then I would look at your GPU might be dieing. You are loosing steam with the game and nothing else. You could try a stress test on your GPU.
MSI Afterburner has a Furmark test called Kombuster. Give these a try and I will look at it tomorrow or somebody else will.
for a start your page file is to big and will affect performance. you have 12 gig of mixed memory which is never a good thing to do.
remove the 2 2gig sticks. and set your page file to 12 gigs.(your page file should be no bigger than 1.5 the actual amount of ram you have).
i also notice from the 12 gigs you have 4 is being used. windows 7 pro will use about 1 gig on a standard install and about 1.5 with 64bit.
so something is using 2.5 gigs of memory.
open task manager and see what is taking up so much ram. stop it and remove it from where ever it is...
use ccleaner to run a startup check. disable anything that isnt your av, other antimalware,audio, gfx and mouse. anything else should be disabled for the first reboot. if the boot is ok and doesnt turn really slow then you can go back in and remove the entries completely...
ccleaner also has a good reg cleaner, run it multiple times till no more issues appear.
if you get your performance back then you should be ok. but if not then you will need to run a malware check. malwarebytes is a good start point.
