I dont know if this is the right place to put this, but im going insane.

I just got this computer from Velocity Micro.
specs:
Asus® A8N SLI - NVIDIA® nForce™ 4 SLI MCP, PCI Express Motherboard with DDR
AMD® Athlon™ 64 X2 3800+ Processor with Dual Core Technology
256MB eVGA™ NVIDIA® GeForce™ 7800 GT, PCI-Express
Creative Labs SoundBlaster® X-Fi™ XtremeMusic
200GB Western Digital WD2000JD 7200rpm SATA/150, 8MB Cache

Its running games so whack. I first noticed it in a game called pain killer. It ran the game fine for an hour, than it started running it extremely fast, like 2 - 3 times faster than it should run. Than Counterstrike, it did this thing where it skipped every 7 seconds. Than it gradually ran faster and faster, while still choppy. Same for Teamfortress classic, and DOD.

When it first started happening i restarted, and it was ok for about 15 minutes, than it started happening again, sometimes restarting wouldnt do anything. So i reformatted, didnt install a thing except for 1 game, played it for an hour, than it started doing it again. Tried installing all the drivers, tweaking everything i could find. Im doing all the same crap that i do on 2 other computers i have access too,(neither of which are as good as this comp is supposed to be) and never had this problem.

sorry it was so long, any help would be appreciated
 
I know people will probly call me an idiot for this but it sounds like a heat problem. If your system is getting to hot it would explain games running chopy. Although usually the system will just hang if its heat. Run a stabiliy test and see what results you get
 
I agree sounds like a stability problem, probably from heat, open the case and blow a fan in there, see if that helps any.
 
Well, to rule out heat, what ARE the temps like? :) Somehting like speedfan can log all the temps and voltages for ya :)
