Okay, lets try this again.

Hello,
when playing MW2 SP in special ops,in evasion (being sneaky) my fps bottoms out at 6-7 and has a high of 10-11. now, this is whenever i go over to my friends house and use my machine, i hit issues like this. beforehand, i would get 40-55 fps, and my fps massively dropped for no apparent reason. no new programs, no temperature issues, no issues that i can see. no new parts either. I have also noticed that the sound in the game is horrid and is very choppy, with regular sounds with a propeller-plane like echoing.
any ideas?

and i have tried reinstallation

Take out the 9600gt, then clean out any dust in there, it should do the trick-
I hope its legit-

You my friend, are Capitan awesome. CPU heat sink could use cleaning too, but i'm surprised how little that the temperatures were affected from the dust.
well, it plays reasonably now.
108 to 102!

runs at 30-35 fps now.

i thank you my friend.

ok, the problem has come back, after taking outside and blowing out with an air compressor.
Damn it.

Reply to xplicitt

now this is stupid.
it works just fine again, after blowing the card out and cleaning the slot connector w/ alcohol.
