Oh nevermind I need to install GPU-Z, not CPUZ.

I have it open next to me, the bar is just grey... what do I look for?

Read one of Sajin's threads and figured it out. So I haven't gotten any freezes in game today which is rather odd... Haven't not had freezes in game for a while...

Now for PerfCap Reason during gaming its saying Pwr, which im assuming means power. Does that mean my total PSUs power is not enough and is whats limiting the performance?

This screenshot is not when Im freezing up. It seems when im playing Battlefield the Perfcap reason remains at Pwr.
When im browsing chrome it seems to go to Util.

No. It means you're currently hitting the default power limit set for the card.

Oh gotcha, so that doesn't have anything to do with my PSU

Hey Sajin. I got a quick question, How do I install those intel chipset drivers?
Ill download it and it'll come as an exe and it just asks me where to extract it to. I extract it to "downloads" and then try to open it but it just asks me where to extract it to again.
Where should I be extracting it to? 

Thanks!

Gotcha, I noticed all of the drivers you linked me from station-drivers.com needed to be extracted.
What do I do next?
