I see your in a tough situation, you've tried everything that the MTA forums have told you to do and have reinstalled. Can you tell me anything that you've done prior to it not working? Maybe that could help a little bit.
Also have you tried to do any windows updates?, I've had some issues with MTA & GTA:SA before and that seemed to fix it, and what is your windows version?

Have you tried to reinstall Windows or upgrade to Windows 10?
That seems a little bit over the top just for a game , There probably is a way to do it WITHOUT the reinstall , Malachi , try to fix the problem just not try to get away from it.

So you've done all of these?
Besides that stuff, most of the responses to this issue seem to be about updating your Direct X and Graphics drivers. So you might wanna check that out.
Don't wanna start a war but I'm gonna go ahead and guess that you've never tried it.

I enjoy Windows 10 as well seems to be pretty good.

Exactly why I suggested a Windows upgrade, usually fixes the graphics drivers and issues related and makes the process easier than hunting down the drivers, also it's cool to have the newest operating system.

LOL why would you recommend windows 10 when there are even more driver problems (except for a newer Direct X which is not required). Even Windows 8.1 still has driver issues where as windows 8 has the least. Windows 7 has almost none (same with Linux and Unix/Mac) and please make sure your firewall settings are correct, same with antivirus and Always, try compatability options if you are on Windows Vista or newer.

Newer Windows version usually have better support for games.

Only for newer games, this game was released in 2004 in which it was designed for the architecture in which Windows XP utilized (well, the way Xp processes things). When it runs in Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, it uses a part of windows called Compatibility mode which is similar to an emulator (well this does null my previous statement of running it on Mac OS X or Linux as they do require Wine to run it, unless you find out a way to run it natively as it is possible due to the openness of Unix and Linux).
I'd like you to try running a game designed for OS's such as Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 3.1, MS-DOS natively on Windows 7 and newer WITHOUT that DOSBOX emulator and you would notice that it runs poorer than if you were to run it on say, Windows XP SP 2., therefore falsifying your response. Remember, a true statement must remain true in all circumstances and multiverses forever and we may not know the truth. This is like saying that PS2 games run better on the PS3 (before slim models and up to 80GB model) where in which the PS3 (except 1st gen 60GB model), uses emulation to run it, causing there to be more frame drop and even a significant drop in terms of visual aspects due to the emulation ran as opposed to the full on native hardware.
