July 18, 201015 yr 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)
July 18, 201015 yr 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?

July 19, 201015 yr Author I noticed that when the slowdown starts happening, the CPU usage shoots up to 100% and the memory usage goes down.
July 19, 201015 yr 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
July 21, 201015 yr Author 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.
