Just put my new system together, and everything was working perfectly. I installed Halo 2 and it played great.
The next time I tried playing, it was so choppy I had to stop. I ran 3DMark, and my score was ABYSMAL (I'm talking average of 10 fps during the test).
My computer in general has become super slow (check out my specs - it shouldn't be slow at all), and sometimes when Vista loads all I get is a black screen and a mouse pointer, nothing else.
I ran Memtest86+ and passed it twice. My original PCMark06 score was 6300, then dropped to 5900.
Besides installing Halo 2, I also installed programs I always use - nothing major, and I know what I'm doing so I don't think that's an issue.
I guess I'm trying to diagnose if it's a bad video card, or a software issue, etc. Does anyone have any advice?
