Asus 550ti graphics card

[PaNziR]

Hello everyone,
My problem is that i upgraded my PC recently ( new motherboard and CPU) and when i start to record a game (eg: BF3) using playclaw 4 (i used FRAPS as well and same thing happens) i notice that my GPU usage starts to spike up and down which lags my game and makes it unbearable to play, however when i stop recording it goes back to normal and plays just fine. The GPU temperature goes up to 49-52 degrees Celsius, but when the spikes start to happen it goes down because the GPU usage starts to vary. Any ideas why this is happening would be much appreciated.

My stats:
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 AMD 760G AM3+ - motherboard
AMD FX 8-Core Black Edition FX-8320 - CPU
Asus Nvidia geforce gt 550 ti - GPU
550watt powersupply
4gb of ram

Then you have problem with either FRAPS or Playclaw itself, since without them your games are fine...

Yes it works fine without them but i want to figure out why this happens when i try to record. Shouldn't the GPU usage increase and maximize instead of jumping to 5% usage,90%, 30% in a matter of seconds and causing an enormous amount of game freezing.

Maybe it's just a glitch or some bug from FRAPS that makes GPU usage jumping.
Is it the latest version? You can always try the latest version...

I tried Dxtory and it seems to be working good, however i downloaded the newest FRAPS and its still the same way. Anyways thanks for your help.
