Hello guys..
I'm suffering from this problem allot and it all started when I first formatted my pc, I used to get 100fps with call of duty with everything on low, but now, after like 3 minutes of gameplay, it drop to aroud 7fps ! and not just call of duty but with all games , so I tried living up with it, then I formatted my pc again and the problem went away for like 3 days and it came back....So I started monitoring the processes running on my pc while playing cod 4 and I noticed this weird process (forgot what its called) so I did a little research ant it turned out to be a virus, so I immediately deleted it and the problem went away for like 4 days and it came back, so I opened my pc and saw that my processor fan wasn't working...but that doesn't explain why it suddenly drops and I tried dusting off my pc and it didn't work and I updated my drivers.... As for my pc specs :
Processor: Core 2 duo e4600 @ 2.40GHz (I know its an old pc)
Graphic card: Nvidia GT8500
Ram:4 GB ddr2
Motherboard: Intel DG31PR
Hard disk: Maxtor 7Y250M0 ATA ~ 250GB
Operating system : Window 7 ultimate 64bit
Now I used to have a problem with my hard drive (weird clicking sound) and the pc freezes but it went away and I'm just left with a weird grinding sound but that not a big deal... Right ?
So at this point here's what is probably causing the problem:
Cpu overheating since the heat sink doesn't work
Hard disk dying
Or my pc developed a mind of its own and is bugging me..
Now I want to help detect the real problem cause I don't want to spend money on new hard disk if the problem wont go away.
Regards
