GPU seems to be running at around 50c during gameplay. http://i.imgur.com/Q6Ko8PT.jpg This is the best that the game will look, and it only randomly appears this way and lags terribly. Not only FPS, but actual lag.
I have repaired windows with this method 5 times and restarted after each and it continues to give the same message, stating that there are files that could not be repaired. I will try a few more times and if this does not resolve the problem, I will have to wait until tomorrow to remove and reinstall the graphics driver.
Is there anything else I should try before then? Thank you for your assistance so far.
Did you try doing the Windows repair in safe mode?
Also, a quite easy thing to do is the clean boot. Basiclly you make sure all background applications that aren't from Microsoft don't start and try a non Punkbuster enabled server.

I will await your results 🙂 Good luck.
I had trouble getting it into safemode, instructions for Windows 8 were a bit different. Once I got it there, I ran the repair and it gave the same message, stating that it was unable to repair all files. I'll get back to you tomorrow on trying a clean boot.
