I built a very good computer (or what I thought was one) and it will run any of my Flash and web design software, but it will not run any games. When I run a video or a game the sound will play fine, but the graphics will be very choppy. I have no idea what's wrong. I have flashed my bios to the newest one that does not interfere with sp3. I have tried over clocking on my cpu and graphics card, but nothing seems to change. I tried an 8800 graphics card, and I still had the same results. I tried taking out my larger hard drive and running the games from my Raptor, and they still would not run well. I also put Vista on and it did not change anything....

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

System:
XP sp3
Asus M3N78-EMH hdmi
AMD +6400 (3.2Ghz dual)
4gb ram
Evga GTX 260 (regular core)
Hitachi 500gb hard drive (running the games)
WD Raptor 150gb hard drive (running web stuff) (no raid)
750 watt power
