Hey folks,
So about a month ago I was playing TF2 and had bad framerate. Annoyed, I restarted my computer. Usually the fix all, right? Well of course I was disappointed when I got back into the game only to have bad frames still. I decided to go back to TF2 later on to try and solve the problem. I loaded up Titan Quest to pass the time and was very upset when I had problems even playing TQ. From there I tried many different games only to have the same problem. This all happened at a bad time I was ending my military career and getting ready for a cross country move. Now that the move is done, I turned my computer on hoping it magically got fixed. It didn't. Time to tackle the problem.
So what have I done so far?
Checked all power connections.
Reseated my memory and moved to new slots.
Run anti-virus and spyware programs.
Defragmented, CChecked.
Cleaned all hardward with compressed air.
Overclocked GPU very minimally.
Result? Absolutely nothing. I played CoD4 single player a few months ago at 1680x1050 and 4x anti-aliasing and most settings on high with absolutely no problems. Now I run everything on low/off and still hit around 7 frames with an average of about 10-17.
My setup:
Windows XP
2GB Ram
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Geforce 8800GTS 640MB
SeaGate Barracuda 320GB SATA HD
Gigabyte 965P-DS3
At this point I'm thinking of a clean install of Windows. I'm running out of ideas. Give me yours!
Thanks.
