I have been using a MSI ATI Radeon for just over 3 weeks, it could play games like skyrim on High quality with no lag, I used it a lot then it has recently slowed, now skyrim lags a ton on low setting. I have no idea what could have happened. I have no viruses/malware/root kits etc. It is the graphics card. What happened?

You could try Catalyst un-install utility and reinstall your graphics drivers to see if that helps.
Whats the temperature of your GPU and CPU at load? At what capacity are your CPU and GPU running when playing Skyrim?

I only have 2 GB of RAM but I have measured how much is being used when I play skyrim and it never gets over 70% and the CPU sometimes gets up to 90% during combat. My PC has excelent cooling and have never ever seen anything get up to even 115f. It is always cool. I might try re-installing the drivers and if not I will try what somebody said and RMA, I filled out a form but am not sure if I want to send it yet if there isn't an actual problem and is just some corrupted drivers. I will keep you guys updated today and hopefully we can find the problem, thx for the advice.
