Hi,

I've been using a AMD Phenom-II X6 1055T Processor and a Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H Motherboard with a ATI Radeon 5770 HD 1GB GDDR5 Graphics card. I am experiencing lags in game like Skyrim, Jade Dynasty and lots more, I do use upto 4 clients of Jade Dynasty sometimes but I did this with my old pc which was nothing compared to what I have right now. I had this problem with my last rig which had a MSI H55-P33 Motherboard with a Intel i5 650K and this same GPU. I dunno even changing the hardware hasnt seem to solve the problem, could it be something with my Hard Disk or OS? Although my OS does asks for start-up repair in lets say every 2-6 days. Please help me get this fixed asap as I am almost broke trying to fix this issue. Thnx.

5770 is 2 series old. You might be running your games on too high settings for the card to cope. Seeing as the GPU does the majority of the processing for a game, a really good processor is wasted.
Try turning the settings down lower on your games, closing applications that will be using resources in the background and make sure you have sufficient cooling in your pc. Get this piece of software: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php
It will give you your temps of your components, on the startup screen, if any temps have a fire next to them you have a cooling problem.
Installing more fans, cleaning each component with a can of air, re-routing cables, and making sure you keep your pc free from dust can drastically increase your PC's...

Yeah my PC does makes plenty of noise as if I am running more than 3 processes of Skyrim or higher resourceful software at the time of start-up, I even asked my shopkeeper that as per this Mobo has LN cooling and the copper pipes to the fan above the Phenom is it necessary to update my cabinet? He said no its Zebronics-Bijli a local one here so I didn't change it.

All the attributes of your hard disk are above the S.M.A.R.T. thresholds set by the manufacturer. This is good.

The overall fitness for this drive is 95%.
The overall performance for this drive is 95%.

These are some results I got for running the tests.
Also the Speedfan 4.49 does shows a burning sign on Temp 2 57C, Temp 3 59C, and GPU 68C.
