Performace Problems in Gaming

[Fiery Phoenix]

PC was running fine - no problems playing Doom 3, FIFA 2007, etc. Now all of a suddent it gets very sluggish when it wasnt doing this previously

I have a Pentium D processor ( 2 x CPU's ) 1022MB RAM, Windows XP

My graphics card is a Ge-Force 7300 SE ( ForceWare 91.63 )

I know this isnt the best graphics card available, but I wasnt having these sluggish problem last week whilst using the same card.

I have run SpyBot & Ad-Aware - all clean, Nod32 anti Virus and also ran PC Pitstop Optimize - all ok

I also tried the newer ForceWear version - all to no avail.

Please can someone help - I have tried everything and would really be most grateful

Thankyou

Did you try to overclock your graphics card?

If not, Your graphics card could of been running a little to warm for the time you have been playing games and the heat over a period of time ruins your graphics card and any other part in a computer.

Try turning your driver and game settings down a little.

Got the computer brand new at Xmas so doubt that the card has been ruined over time. Temp currently at 63 on the Temp Settings in the NVIDIA control panel

have you defragged? or re-installed the games?

 

[Fiery Phoenix]

De-fragged - not re-installed though - worth a go?

yeah since it wasn't originally like this might as well see if a reinstall might set it back to where it was
