I built my computer almost a year ago..and now i have a mysterious virus that doesnt show up in norton, and it is slowing my computer to hell. (getting 80 fps instead of 130 on Cs:s video stress test, also boot time is quite slower) I want to format my hard drive and start clean, but i have tried eveything, and been unsucessfull in every attempt. There must be a simple way to do this. Anyone know? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well, if you put in the WinXP disc then it wil start to reinstall, im pretty sure it will format aswell....


yes, a hdd list will come up, then select the drive you want to format and press "D". this will delete partions and reformat.

How do you know you have this virus?

Ok, well I was able to reformat my hard drive, but I am still getting VERY unusual frame rates ( as described above 50 less fps than when i first built my computer) I have a 6600gt, drivers are updated. Any suggestions?
 
dust? heat? broken fans? Software issues? Driver issues... many things could be dropping the frames...
