WIN xp gaming prob

ok i used to play fifa 11 and nfs undercover in win 7 at moderate specs and the games ran quite smoothly
but i recently went back to xp sp3 .I find both the games not running smoothly anymore. sometimes there is lag or sudden interruptions and flickering. I dont know whats the problem.
P.s. i played both these games in xp sp2 in the same pc half a year ago and it ran smoothly

well obviously something has changed as nothing occurs on its own

try system restore to the last date you remember it working properly. Other than that I can suggest reinstalling the game and the drivers.

make sure your power options are on high performance and that graphics options are set to performance

beyond that it's a guessing game without knowing what has changed
