I'm so confused, I'm not sure if everything is working correctly. In PCmark Vantage, I got a score of 6440. 3DMark 06 gave me 14938, which was lower than "common system." When reading the results, they seem too low to be normal. I'll post screenshots

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
MSI Hawk GTX 460 OC to 875/1750/2000
AMD Athlon II x4 640 3ghz
g.skill 4gb DDR3 1333mhz
640gb WD Black
23in monitor 1920x1080 5ms
Now some concerns of mine. Keep in mind that this is my first time ever using benchmarking tools. Well, In PCmark Vantage, my HDD looks broken with the low score it got. When I ran 3Dmark 06, my graphics card was getting low frame rates and the games it was running through didn't even look graphically challenging. (Check my screenshots please) I saw the frame rate dip under 30 more than once...I never changed ANY settings in the Nvidia control panel, so I have no idea what's wrong.
Also during 3Dmark 06, it said my quad core CPU was only putting off 1 fps which doesn't sound normal to me. I think I saw people get better scores than me with 8800 GT's and hardware from many years ago. Please check to see if my computers running like ***.
I'm downloading 3Dmark vantage at the moment to test it out...
The game I've been playing is World of Warcraft, and I heard the 460 can easily run it on Ultra. My friend ran it on ultra no problems with the 4850.
I have everything on ultra, vsync, and triple buffering, but my frame rates just from 27-30-35-40-50-60, all over the place. What I don't get, is why GPU-Z never shows my GPU usage/load going above 30%? And 40% fan speed. Shouldn't my video card be always working at 100% in games to give me best frame rates, wtf? My CPU is around 30% usage also while gaming. And shouldn't my video card be maxing out WoW with 60 FPS especially from all the overclocking I did?

So is my HDD, Processor, or video card messed up? Or any other problem >.<
