Recently i have been getting poor frame rates on all the games i play (GTR / Hiden and dangerous 2 / Battlefield 2 )
At first i noticed my PSU was very hot... so i added a fan
it made it worse... so i thought.... hmm 200w PSU i need more power
so i got more power and nada still the same problem, just a lot cooler
so i tried alternative gfx card drivers.... nada
i tried my dads gfx card... nada
i have reinstalled windows and then tried formatting... nada
so i am pretty certain its a hardware problem!
can anyone spot anything that is causing probs in my system spec
intel 3.0 ghz processer
1gb DDR ram
asus p4s800 MX mother board
ATI RADEON 9800 pro 128mb ram (dads gfx card = Nvidia geforce6 6600 25gmb ram (yes i did remember drivers))
200GB maxtor HDD
Netgear something or other wireless card
soundblaster audigy LS soundcard
need any more infos and i will do my best, cuz i need help, me and my old man are baffled at my PC problems! frame rates start off ok and are dropping to maybe 10
anyone know anything about the mobo in particualar? i think it might be needing an upgrade -> more money oh no
also would flashing the BIOS be worth the risk?
Any help will be greatly appriciated
