Hi everyone, i have a few questions about my rig.
1) I have a Q9650 and windows 64 bit and it is very very slow. i also have 2GB ddr3 ram and gigabyte mobo. the cpu is slower than the one i had before core 2 duo E6600. I am thinking that the problem is the hardisk because everytime i open a file the light keeps on forever! ( hardisk 250Gb ST3250820AS)
2) i overclocked the cpu from Gigabyte's utility ET6 to 4.05 Ghz and in bios it shows 4.05Ghz but in windows it shows 3.6Ghz and in cpu-z it shos a 6x multiplier. i dont know what the problem is :S
3) i installed HAWX demo game today and during play the screen goes black and then the game continues and it is entering this 'loop' every 2 minutes. also it is saying something about a driver stopped working. (vga: 3870x2).
the last question: the 2gb OCZ ram that i have are showing as 533MHZ and they are 1333MHZ. tried to navigate through bios but dont know how to work around the latencies etc. i really need help to do this. motherboard: gigabyte ep457-ud3p. thank you very much
