Hello everybody,

Firstly I will give you my pc specifications:
This computer is about 5-6 years old. Some components: GPU, 2gb RAM chipset, PSU are 3 years old. So other components are about 6 years old: CPU, motherboard,1gb+1gb RAM and whatever left.

CPU - AMD Athlon x2 64-bit 6000+ 3,01GHz
GPU - Radeon HD 6770 1gb
RAM - Total 4gb (1gb+1gb chipset are 6years, later i put additional 2gb RAM card)
PSU - 600W
HDD - 512gb.


Now I will give you some examples of games I used to play or I play now.

Neverwinter: (Recommended for high settings)
CPU AMD Athlon x2 dual core 5600+
GPU Radeon HD 2900 Pro
RAM 2gb

League of legends
CPU - 3Ghz processor
GPU - gf 8800
RAM - 2gb

Napoleon total war
CPU - AMD Athlon x2 5600+
GPU - Gf 8800
RAM - 4gb

So here is the problem: My pc should run these games smoothly atleast on medium settings, also I should be able to play at high settings as well. However even at the lowest settings possible I have low fps. Sometimes when there is much action during gameplay it becomes totally unplayable due to very low fps. PC heating isn't the problem, i have tested it, also I replaced CPU thermal paste week ago. Drivers are updated. So is the main issue that my computer is quite old, and it may be that many parts dont function as they should. Or there may be some different things, which causes these troubles. Please help me to find out.

Thank You for answers.
A.

My internet is kinda slow. I download torrents 256kb/s. Getting new internet in a few months :) . However I usually don't have problems with latency/ping. It reaches 100 very rarely, usually when my antivirus starts to update. All in all I get 30-60 ping when playing.

i recommend getting a 2x2GB ram or 1x4GB ram , cause adding different ram can cause you problems ,better have the same brand sticks of ram .

Yeah I know my RAM build isn't perfect. Also I forgot to mention that my computer likes to crash sometimes, it just freezes when playing or watching a movie few times per day. Sometimes I get blue screens of death :\. Also I want to make sure where is the problem, before investing money to fix my PC.

You may need a clean OS install to fix that.

Ye, I reinstalled my windows several times. It actually helps, but just a little.
