hi guys im having a really strange issue i cannot seem to solve.
when running any sort of 3d app it will run at proper fps for a short while(anywhere from 0 - 30sec) then the fps will drop to around 2-3fps. the drop remains for a short while(5-10sec) then proper fps returns, and so the cycle continues.
i have tried:
two different psu's: 600w(isonic) & 550w(gigabyte) - no change
two different sticks of ram - no change
two different installs of win xp - no change
removed drivers(driver cleaner pro) - reinstalled - no change
my specs:
asus m2n-vm hdmi mobo
amd 6000+
pov 9800gtx
both power connectors are connected on the card.
im leaning towards a cpu issue, not sure??
