Maze Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hey, I'm having a problem. After 5-15 minutes of playing a game, it all of a sudden gets bad framerates. This happens on even older games like StarCraft. I don't know what the problem is. It only seems to happen when I am running games, even browser games like RS have the same issue. Things I've tried:-Checked my CPU and GPU for overheating. They are not overheating at all.-Alt-tabbing doesn't work. But no luck. Can someone help me? My computer can run games like AoE3 and Empire at War max settings no problem. My specs:AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0 GHz Single CoreNVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT2 GB of RAMWindows 7 Ultamite (I do not believe it is my OS, as Windows XP had the same issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 First thing that comes to mind is your Ram - it looks like the worst thing there. It wouldn't hurt at all to pick up another 1gb. If this has only just started happening though, I don't really know what the cause might be. Have you looked at your task lisk to see how much cpu/memory the processes are using?

Maze Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 I noticed that when the slowdown starts happening, the CPU usage shoots up to 100% and the memory usage goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Interesting - which processes are using up the cpu time? Is it the game exe's themselves? "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Do you have any amount of dust in your fans when you look inside the computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maze Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 All the processes CPU usage is the same, from when I start the game to when the game starts slowing down. It's really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maze Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 And I've cleaned all the dust out of my computer, and I even put another fan in. Still has the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
