I downloaded Crysis 1 on when i run it, it maxes out my GPU to the point of where i can hear my graphics card squealing. On my Nvidia Control Panel, i have the global Vsync on but FRAPS isint recognizing the program and doesn't display the fps in the game. How can i fix this game...

my rig:
GPU: Zotac gtx 670 AMP! edition
CPU: i5-3570k
ram: 16Gb RipJaws

The original crysis doesn't have a frame cap during the loading time before you are in game. If your fraps was up you would see that you get something like 2-6K fps. What your hearing is most likely coil whine and it's really loud when your fps are that high, if you can figure out how to get vsync to work correctly it will make it a bit more quiet.

Oh I've had fraps do that to me before. Have you tried to uninstall/reinstall FRAPS? Try to have FRAPS closed then launch the game. Alt+tab out and start fraps then alt+tab back. I can't remember what I did to get it working, but it was something like that.

After the FRAPS frame counter didnt show up on crysis, i tried it on a bunch of other games and it worked fine, even on Crysis Warhead and the other newer crysis games. I tried putting everything to lowest possible settings but it didnt have any effect on the stress it was putting my GPU under, its at max load at the menu screen so obviously something is off. I tried running it as administrator and in a bunch of different compatibility modes, but they all either dont change anything or just crash on startup. im lost on what to do

Yeah, set a framerate cap in MSI Afterburner/EVGA PrecisionX or RivaTuner. This is something I advise for every game - for better smoothness.
